Do not use the straight grinder when the power cord has been damaged.
Have the power cord replaced by a professional or contact our customer
service.
Keep the power cable away from rotating parts.
Pull the power plug from the power socket when the straight grinder is
not in use, when cleaning it, before changing the grinding disc or when
maintaining the unit.
Only use the straight grinder indoors and protect it from humidity and
liquids of all kinds.
Only use original replacement parts.
The arbour size of wheels, sanding drum or any other tool must properly
fit the collet of the machine. Tools that do not match properly will run out
of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control. Just because
the tool can be attached to the machine, it does not assure safe operation
Use only wheel types for the recommended applications (e. g. do not grind
with the side of a cut-off disc).
The rated speed of the tool must be at least equal to the maximum speed
marked on the machine. Tools running faster than their rated speed can
break and fly apart.
Mandrel mounted wheels, sanding drums, cut-off disc or other tools must
be fully inserted into the collet. The "overhang" or the length of the
mandrel from the wheel to the collet must be minimal (at least 8 mm),
otherwise the mounted wheel may become loose and ejected at high
velocity.
Always hold the machine firmly during the start-up. The reaction torque
of the motor, as it accelerates to full speed, can cause the machine to
twist. 8 mm
After changing the tools or making any adjustments, make sure the collet
is securely tightened. Loose tools can cause loss of control. Run the
machine at maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged tools will
normally break apart during this test time.
Do not touch the grinding disc and the workpiece directly after use as they
might be very hot.
Only use this straight grinder for dry grinding. Do not use tools that require
liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
If possible secure the workpiece.
Never lay the machine down until the tool has come to a complete stop.
Never try to stop the tool by hand.
Do not run the machine while carrying it at the side.
Regularly clean the ventilation slots of the machine.
