WARNING:
The vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared
value(s) depending on the ways in which the tool is used especially what kind of workpiece is processed.
WARNING:
Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation
of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the
times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).
WARNING:
The declared vibration emission value is used for main applications of the power tool. However if
the power tool is used for other applications, the vibration emission value may be different.
WARNING:
Grinding thin sheets of metal or other easily vibrating structures with a large surface can
result in a total noise emission much higher (up to 15 dB) than the declared noise emission values.
Set heavy flexible damping mats or such to those workpieces to prevent them from emitting sound.
Take the increased noise emission into consideration for both the risk assessment of noise exposure and
selecting adequate hearing protection.

SAFETY WARNINGS
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING:
Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specifications provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Cordless grinder safety warnings
Safety warnings common for grinding, sanding,
wire brushing, or cutting-off operations:
1.
This power tool is intended to function as a
grinder, sander, wire brush, or cut-off tool. Read
all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
2.
Operations such as polishing or hole cutting
are not to be performed with this power tool.
Operations for which the power tool was not designed
may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
3.
Do not convert this power tool to operate in
a way which is not specifically designed and
specified by the tool manufacturer. Such a con-
version may result in a loss of control and cause
serious personal injury.
4.
Do not use accessories which are not spe-
cifically designed and specified by the tool
manufacturer. Just because the accessory can
be attached to your power tool, it does not assure
safe operation.
5.
The rated speed of the accessory must be at
least equal to the maximum speed marked on
the power tool. Accessories running faster than
their rated speed can break and fly apart.
6.
The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating
of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories
cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
7.
The dimensions of the accessory mounting
must fit the dimensions of the mounting hard-
ware of the power tool. Accessories that do not
match the mounting hardware of the power tool
will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and
may cause loss of control.
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each
8.
use inspect the accessory such as abrasive
wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for
cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for
loose or cracked wires. If power tool or acces-
sory is dropped, inspect for damage or install
an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and
installing an accessory, position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of the rotating
accessory and run the power tool at maximum
no-load speed for one minute. Damaged acces-
sories will normally break apart during this test
time.
9.
Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As appro-
priate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors,
gloves and workshop apron capable of stop-
ping small abrasive or workpiece fragments.
The eye protection must be capable of stopping
flying debris generated by various applications.
The dust mask or respirator must be capable
of filtrating particles generated by the particular
application. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
10. Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory
may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate
area of operation.
11.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will also make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
