WARNING!
The vibration and noise emissions during
u
actual use of the power tool can differ
from the declared values depending on
the manner in which the tool is used,
especially what kind of workpiece is
processed .
Try to minimise exposure to vibration and
noise . Examples of measures to reduce
vibration include wearing gloves when
using the tool and limiting working time .
All parts of the operating cycle must be
taken into account (e .g . times when the
power tool is switched off and when it
is running idle in addition to the trigger
time) .
Grinding thin sheets of metal or other
u
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 . Such
workpieces should as far as possible
be prevented from emitting sound by
suitable measures such as the application
of heavy flexible damping mats . The
increased noise emission is also to be
considered for both the risk assessment of
noise exposure and selecting adequate
hearing protection .
Safety instructions
General power tool safety
warnings
m
WARNING!
Read all safety warnings,
u
instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury .
Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to
your mains‑operated (corded) power tool or
battery‑operated (cordless) power tool .
Work area safety
1) Keep work area clean and well
lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents .
2) Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes .
3) Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control .
Electrical safety
1) Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock .
2) Avoid body contact with earthed
or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded .
3) Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock .
4) Do not abuse the cord. Never use
the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock .
