that is unguarded and facing the operator is reduced
to minimum. The guard protects the operator from splinters,
accidental contact with the grinding wheel, and sparks that
otherwise could light up clothes.
• Use grinding wheels only for tasks they are designed for.
• For example, do not use side surface of a cutting wheel for
grinding. Grinding wheels for cutting are designed to remove
material with wheel edge. Side forces applied to the wheel may
cause it to crack.
• Always use undamaged fixing flanges with size matching
to the grinding wheel. Proper flanges support grinding wheel
and reduce risk of breaking. Grinding wheels for cutting use
flanges that may be different from flanges designed for other
types of grinding wheels.
• Do not use worn out grinding wheels from bigger devices.
Grinding wheels for bigger devices are not designed for higher
rotational speed, which is specific for smaller devices, and
therefore they may break.
ADDITIONAL DETAILED SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR CUTTING
WITH A GRINDING WHEEL
• Avoid jamming of cutting wheel and excessive pressure.
Do not make too deep cuts. Overloading the cutting wheel
increases its load and risk of jamming or locking, and in
consequence kick back or wheel breaking.
• Avoid areas in front and behind rotating cutting wheel. In
the event of kick back, cutting wheel advance in work piece away
from you may cause bouncing of the device with rotating wheel
towards your hand.
• In the event of jamming of cutting wheel or having a break
in work, switch off the device and wait until the wheel
comes to complete stop. Never attempt to remove rotating
wheel from cut material, as this may cause kick back. Find
and remove cause of jamming.
• Do not switch on the device back, when it is still in
processed material. Before
wheel should reach
Otherwise the cutting wheel may catch material, bounce out of
work piece or cause kick back.
• Support sheets and large objects before processing to
minimise risk of kick back caused by jammed blade. Large
objects can bend under own weight. Support work piece on both
sides, at cutting line and near edge.
Be careful when cutting holes in walls and operating in other
areas with reduced visibility. Wheel plunging into material may
cause kick back after hitting gas lines, water pipes, electric wires
and other objects.
DETAILED SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR PAPER SANDING
• Do not use too large sheets of abrasive paper. When choosing
size of abrasive paper follow manufacturer instructions.
Abrasive paper that protrudes beyond sanding pad may cause
injuries, and also lead to locking or tearing abrasive paper or kick
back.
DETAILED SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR WIRE BRUSHING
• Remember that brush loses pieces of wire even during
normal use. Do not overload wires by excessive pressure.
Flying pieces of wire can easily penetrate through thin clothes
and/or skin.
• Whenever use of guard is recommended, avoid contact
of brush and guard. Diameter of wheel and cup brushes may
increase at pressure and centrifugal forces.
• Always wear protective glasses when using wire brushes.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY GUIDELINES
• Remove the battery from the device before any equipment
installation.
cutting again, cutting
its full rotational speed.
• Check grinding tools before use. Grinding tool must be
installed properly and must be free to rotate. To check the
device, start it, keep in safe position and let it run with no
load for at least one minute. Do not use damaged or vibrating
grinding tools. Grinding tools must be round. Damaged
grinding tools can break and cause injuries.
• After grinding tool installation, and before starting the
grinder, make sure the grinding tool is properly fixed, it is free
to rotate and does not come in contact with the shield.
• Spindle lock button can be activated only when the grinder
spindle is not moving.
• When using tools designed for grinding wheels with threaded
hole, make sure that the length of the wheel thread matches
the length of the spindle thread.
• Secure processed material. Secured material in a fixing tool or
a vice is safer than holding it in hand.
• Fix processed material securely if its own weight does not
guarantee stable position.
• Do not touch cutting and grinding wheels before they cool
down.
• Do not apply side force on grinding or cutting wheel.
Do not cut processed material thicker than maximum cutting
depth of cutting wheel.
• When a quick release flange is used, make sure that inner
flange seated on the spindle is equipped with rubber O-ring
and this ring is not damaged. Also surfaces of the outer flange
and the inner flange must be clean.
• Use quick release flange only with cutting and grinding
wheels. Use only flanges that are free from defects, that
operate correctly.
CORRECT OPERATION AND USE OF BATTERIES
• Battery charging process should be supervised by the user.
• Avoid charging the battery in temperature lower than 0°C.
• Use only the charger recommended by the manufacturer.
Using charger designed for other type of battery brings the risk
of fire.
• When the battery is not in use, store it away from metal
objects such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or any
other small metal objects that can short-circuit the battery
connectors. Short-circuit of battery connectors may cause burns
or fire.
• In case of battery damage and/or improper use it may
produce gas. Ventilate room and seek medical attention in
case of medical symptoms. Gas can damage respiratory tract.
• In extreme conditions liquid may leak out of the battery.
The liquid coming out of the battery may cause irritations
or burns. When a leak is found, follow the below procedure:
- Carefully wipe the liquid with a cloth. Avoid contact of the liquid
with skin and eyes.
- In case the liquid gets onto skin, immediately wash the spot
abundantly with clean water, you can also neutralize the liquid
with a mild acid, e.g. lemon juice or vinegar.
- When the liquid gets into eyes, wash it immediately with a lot of
clean water for at least 10 minutes. Seek medical advice.
• Do not use damaged or modified battery. Damaged or
modified batteries may behave unpredictably, causing fire,
explosion or risk of injuries.
• Do not expose the battery to humidity or water.
• Always keep the battery away from sources of heat. Do not
leave the battery for a long time in high temperature (in
direct sunlight, in proximity of heaters and wherever the
temperature exceeds 50°C).
• Do not expose the battery to fire or excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or temperature above 130°C may cause explosion.
