g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
5) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ANGLE GRINDERS
GENERAL
Only use this tool for dry grinding/cutting
●
Only use the flanges which are supplied with this tool
●
This tool should not be used by people under the age of
●
16 years
Always disconnect plug from power source before
●
making any adjustment or changing any accessory
ACCESSORIES
Use the original SKIL accessories which can be
●
obtained from your SKIL dealer
For mounting/using non-SKIL accessories observe the
●
instructions of the manufacturer concerned
Use only accessories with an allowable speed matching
●
at least the highest no-load speed of the tool
Do not use damaged, deformed or vibrating grinding/
●
cutting discs
Handle and store grinding/cutting discs carefully to avoid
●
chipping and cracking
Protect accessories from impact, shock and grease
●
Do not use a grinding/cutting disc that is larger than the
●
maximum recommended size
Only use grinding/cutting discs with a hole diameter
●
which fits mounting flange G 2 without play; never use
reducors or adaptors to fit large-hole grinding/cutting
discs
Never use grinding/cutting discs with a threaded hole, of
●
which the thread is not long enough to accept the
spindle length of the tool
Never use accessories with a "blind" threaded hole
●
smaller than M14 x 21 mm
OUTDOOR USE
Connect the tool via a fault current (FI) circuit breaker
●
with a triggering current of 30 mA maximum
Only use an extension cord which is intended for
●
outdour use and equipped with a splashproof coupling-
socket
BEFORE USE
Before using the tool for the first time, it is recommended
●
to receive practical information
Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos
●
is considered carcinogenic)
Take protective measures when during work dust
●
can develop that is harmful to one's health,
combustible or explosive (some dusts are considered
carcinogenic); wear a dust mask and work with dust/chip
extraction when connectable
Be careful of hidden electrical wires or gas- and water
●
pipes; check the work area, for instance with a metal
detector
Be careful when cutting grooves, especially in
●
supporting walls (slots in supporting walls are subject to
country-specific regulations; these regulations are to be
observed under all circumstances)
Clamp the workpiece in case it does not remain
●
stationary from its own weight
Do not clamp the tool in a vice
●
Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a
●
capacity of 16 Amps (UK 13 Amps)
Wear protective glasses and gloves, hearing protection 4
●
and sturdy shoes; when necessary, also wear an apron
Always mount auxiliary handle E 2 and protective guard
●
F 2; never use the tool without them
Be sure tool is switched off when plugging in
●
DURING USE
Inrush currents cause short-time voltage drops; under
●
unfavourable power supply conditions, other equipment
may be affected (if the system impedance of the power
supply is lower than 0,25 Ohm, disturbances are unlikely
to occur); if you need further clarification, you may
contact your local power supply authority
Always keep the cord away from moving parts of the
●
tool; direct the cord to the rear, away from the tool
If the cord is damaged or cut through while working, do
●
not touch the cord, but immediately disconnect the plug;
never use the tool with a damaged cord
Keep hands away from rotating accessories
●
When grinding metal, sparks are generated; keep other
●
persons and combustible material from work area
In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction,
●
immediately switch off the tool and disconnect the plug
In case the cutting disc is blocked, resulting in jerking
●
forces on the tool, immediately switch off the tool
In case of current interruption or when the plug is
●
accidentally pulled out, unlock the on/off switch H 2
immediately and put it in the OFF-position in order to
prevent uncontrolled restarting
Do not apply so much pressure on the tool that it comes
●
to a standstill
AFTER USE
Before you put down the tool, switch off the motor and
●
ensure that all moving parts have come to a complete
standstill
After switching off the tool, never stop the rotation of the
●
accessory by a lateral force applied against it
WHEN CONNECTING NEW 3-PIN PLUG (U.K. ONLY):
Do not connect the blue (= neutral) or brown (= live) wire
●
in the cord of this tool to the earth terminal of the plug
If for any reason the old plug is cut off the cord of this
●
tool, it must be disposed of safely and not left
unattended
