[. . . ] Before reading, unfold the page containing the illustrations and familiarise yourself with all functions of the device. General safety advice for electrical power tools Careful handling and use of electrical power tools . Page Inserting / removing the battery pack into / out of the drill / grinder. The following pictograms are used in these operating instructions / on the device: Read instruction manual! [. . . ] Before every use check attachments such as grinding discs for loose fragments and cracks, grinding wheels for cracks, deterioration or excessive wear and wire brushes for loose or broken wires. If the electrical power tool or attachment is dropped, inspect for damage or change the attachment for an undamaged one. When you have inspected and inserted the attachment, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating attachment and run the device at maximum speed for one minute. Use a full face visor, safety goggles or safety glasses, depending on the application. Wear a dust mask, hearing protectors, safety gloves or special apron capable of stopping particles of the grinding medium or workpiece, as appropriate for the task. Eyes must be protected from the flying debris which can arise from some operations. Dust or breathing masks must be capable of filtering out the dust generated by the application. General safety advice for electrical power tools The work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of the workpiece or of a broken attachment could fly off and cause injury beyond the immediate working area. Always use the auxiliary handle, if provided, to exercise the greatest possible control over kickback forces or reaction torques as the device builds up to full speed. By taking suitable precautions the operator can control kickback and reaction forces. C) Avoid positioning your body in the area into which the electrical power tool would move in the event of a kickback. a kickback moves the electrical power tool in the opposite direction to the direction of movement of the grinding disc at the point of constraint. D) Work particularly carefully in the area of corners, sharp edges etc. General safety advice for electrical power tools e) Do not use saw-chain woodcarving discs or toothed discs. Such attachments create frequent kickback and loss of control of the electrical power tool. Further special safety advice for disc-cutting Special safety advice relating to grinding and disc-cutting A) Always use the guard designed for the type of abrasive consumable you are using. Always use abrasive consumables approved for use with your electrical power tool. Abrasive consumables not approved for use with your electrical power tool cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe. B) To ensure the highest level of operational safety, the disc guard cover must be attached to the electrical power tool and set in such a way that the smallest possible area of the abrasive consumable is exposed to the operator. The disc guard cover is there to protect the operator from pieces breaking off and accidental contact with the abrasive consumable. C) Abrasive consumables must be used only for their recommended purposes, For example: never grind with the side face of a cutting disc. [. . . ] Learn by practical experience which tools and settings are the best for the materials you work with. Setting the appropriate speed Symbols Rotational speed control 1 1- 3 4-5 5 Material Use only the lightest contact pressure of the tool on the workpiece. If you use press too hard you run the risk of breaking the tool or damaging the workpiece. You will achieve the best results by operating the tool at a constant rotational speed and using a low contact pressure on the workpiece. [. . . ]
