OPERATIONAL SAFETY
Warning! Never use the machine for grinding
magnesium workpieces. Do not use this machine
for grinding soft materials like aluminium, lead or wood.
Do not use near flammable materials or people.
Concentrate
Routine and repetition can lead to mistakes. Remember
that a slight lack of concentration can result in serious
injuries in a split second.
Keep work area clean
Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
Consider the work environment
Do not expose power tools to rain or use them in damp
or wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Do not use
power tools in the presence of flammable liquids, vap-
ours or gases.
Guard against electric shock
This unit contains dangerous voltages. Use a RCD (resi-
dual current device) to provide protection against elec-
trical shock. Prevent body contact with grounded sur-
faces (e.g. pipes, radiator, ranges or refrigerators).
Keep children and pets away
Do not let children or pets come into contact with the
tool, extension cable or work area.
Do not force the tool
It will work better and safer at the rate for which it was
intended.
Use the right tool
Do not force small tools or attachments to do the job of a
heavy-duty tool. Do not use tools for purposes for which
they were not intended; for example do not use a circular
saw for cutting trees or logs.
Do not abuse the cable
Never carry the tool by the cable or pull it to disconnect
it from the power socket. Keep the cable away from heat,
oil and sharp edges. Do not touch the metal plug pins
when connecting or removing the plug.
Do not over-reach
Keep a proper footing and balance at all times.
Disconnect tools from power supply
When not in use, before servicing and when changing
accessories such as blades, bits and cutters.
Always switch off and unplug the grinder from the
power supply before making adjustments or chan-
ging grinding wheels.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches
Ensure that they are removed from the tool before swit-
ching on.
Avoid unintentional starting
Check that the switch is off before plugging in to socket.
Outdoor use extension cables
When the tool is used outdoors use only an extension
cable intended for outdoor use and marked accordingly.
Use a RCD (residual current device) to provide protec-
tion against electrical shock. Do not use in rain or damp
conditions.
Connect a dust extraction device
Whenever there are facilities for fitting a dust of fume
extraction system, make sure it is connected and used.
Use recommended accessories
The use of any other accessory or attachment other than
recommended in the instructions or catalogue may pre-
sent a risk of personal injury. Use extension cables suita-
ble for the power input of the grinder (minimum cable
size 1.5mm
