I) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory

has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory

may catch the surface and pull the power tool out of your

control.

m) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your

side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could

snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.

n) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s

fan draws dust into the housing.

o) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materi-

als. Sparks could ignite these materials.

p) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.

Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electro-

cution or shock.

4.1 Kickback and Related Warnings

Kickback is the sudden response to an accessory pinching

or jamming while rotating. Pinching or jamming causes the

rotating accessory to stop abruptly, which in turn forces

the uncontrolled power tool in the direction against the

accessory’s rotation at the point of jamming. Kickback is

the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating

procedures or conditions. It can be avoided by taking

proper precautions as given below.

a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position

your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces.

Always use the auxiliary handle for maximum control

over kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The

operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if

proper precautions are taken.

b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. The

accessory may kickback over your hand.

c) Do not allow your body to enter the area where the

power tool would move if kickback occurs. Kickback

will propel the power tool in the opposite direction of the

accessory’s movement at the point of jamming.

d) Use special care when working around corners, sharp

edges etc. You must prevent accessories from bouncing

o the power tool and becoming jammed. A rotating

accessory tends to jam around corners and sharp edges

and also if bouncing occurs, thus causing loss of control or

kickback.

e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or

toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback

and loss of control.

4.2 Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding with Diamond

Cup Wheels:

a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for

your power tool and the specific guard designed for the

selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not

designed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.

b) The safety guard must be securely attached to the

power tool. Always direct the power tool so that the

wheel is not openly exposed to the operator. The guard

helps to protect the operator from broken fragments,

accidental contact with the wheel and sparks that could

ignite clothing.

c) Wheels must be used only for recommended applica-

tions.

d) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are the

correct size and shape for your selected accessories. The

correct flanges support the accessories.

4.3 Additional Safety Instructions:

WARNING– Always wear protective goggles.

Wear a suitable dust protection mask.

WARNING – Always operate with two hands.

Observe the specifications of the accessory manufacturer!

Protect the accessories from grease and physical impact.

Accessories must be stored and handled with care in accor-

dance with the manufacturer’s instructions. The workpiece

must be seated firmly and be secured against slipping,

e.g. using clamps. Large workpieces must be supported

adequately.

If accessories with threaded inserts are used, the end of the

spindle may not touch the base of the hole on the grinding

tool. Make sure that the thread in the accessory is long

enough to accommodate the full length of the spindle. The

thread in the accessory must match the thread on the spin-

dle. See page 3 and chapter 14. Technical Specifications for

more information on the spindle length and thread.

Impurities that manage to enter the machine

may block the switching mechanism. This is why, when the

machine is running, it is necessary to blow compressed air

through the rear ventilation slots of the machine regularly,

frequently and thoroughly. The machine must be held firm-

ly in this case.

Reduce dust exposure:

Some dust created by using this power tool may

contain chemicals known to cause cancer, allergic

reaction, respiratory disease, birth defects or other repro-

ductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: Lead

from leadbased paints, crystalline silica from bricks and

cement and other masonry products, arsenic and chromi-

um from chemically-treated lumber, hard wood like oak or

beech, metals, asbestos.

The risk from these exposures depends on how long you

or bystanders are being exposed. Do not let particles enter

standards *3). Technical file at *4) - see page 3.

. SPECIFIED USE

When fitted with original Carat accessories, the machine

is suitable for grinding and removing concrete, screed and

coatings with diamond cup wheels. Do not use for abrasive

cutting-o operations, roughing work, sanding, polishing

or flap disc work.

The machine must not be used with water. Note: The

ring brush may stick when thermoelastic materials are

processed. The machine is suitable for commercial use in

trade and industry.

Always use a suitable dust extraction system: Connect

a vacuum cleaner (M-class) to the extractor connection

piece (12). The user bears sole responsibility for any

damage caused by improper use. Generally accepted

accident prevention regulations and the enclosed safety

. SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

General safety instructions for grinding:

Use

a) This power tool is designed for surface grinding. Refer

to all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and

specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to

follow all the instructions may result in electric shock, fire

and/or serious injury.

b)This power tool is not suitable for routing, polishing,

sanding, working with roughing discs, wire brushes,

parting grinder discs or flap discs. Using the power tool for

tasks for which it was not designed may create a hazard and

cause personal injury.

c) Do not use accessories that are not specifically

designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer.

Just because an accessory can be attached to your power

tool does not mean safe operation is guaranteed.

d) The rated speed of the accessory must be at least

equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool.

Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break

and fly apart.

e) The outside diameter and the thickness of your acces-

sory must be within the capacity rating of your power

tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately

protected or controlled.

f) The arbour size of flanges, diamond cup wheels or any

other accessory must properly fit the spindle of the pow-

er tool. Accessories with arbour holes that do not match

the mounting hardware of the power tool will rotate un-

evenly, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.

g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before use, always

check accessories for splinters or cracks and check grind-

ing wheels for cracks or signs of severe wear and tear. If a

power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage

or install an undamaged accessory. Aer inspecting and

installing an accessory, position yourself and bystand-

ers away from the plane of the rotating accessory and

run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one

minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart

during this test time.

h) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending

on the application, use a face shield, safety goggles

or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear a dust mask,

hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable

of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The

eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris

generated by various operations. The dust mask or respira-

tor must be capable of filtering particles generated by your

operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may

cause hearing loss.

i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from your work

area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal

protective equipment. Fragments of a workpiece or bro-

ken accessory may fly into the air and cause injury beyond

the immediate area of operation.

j) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,

when performing an operation where the cutting acces-

sory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. A cutting

accessory that comes in contact with a “live” wire may

render exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and

give the operator an electric shock.

k) Houd het netsnoer uit de buurt van draaiend inzetger-

eedschap. Verliest u de controle over het apparaat, dan kan

het netsnoer doorgesneden of gegrepen worden en kan uw

hand of uw arm in het draaiende inzetgereedschap komen.
