Work area

1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark work areas increase the chance of accidents;
2. Do not operate electric die grinder in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust, the power tools may create sparks which could ignite the dust or fumes;
3. Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating an electric die grinder. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

1. The electric die grinder plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not us any adapter plugs. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded;
3. Don’t expose electric die grinder 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 to carry the electric die grinder or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock;
5. When operating an electric die grinder, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use, this reduces the risk of electric shock.
6. If operating an electric die grinder in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD), this reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when using an electric die grinder. Do not use it while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating the power tool may result in serious personal injury.
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the switch is off before plugging the electric die grinder in. Carrying the power tool with your finger on the switch or plugging in the power tool that has the switch on increases the chance of accidents.
4. Never place hands, fingers, gloves or clothing near rotating tool parts.
5. Remove adjusting keys or wrench before turning the electric die grinder on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
6. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
7. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non- skid safety shoes, hard hat and hearing protection must be used for optimal safety.
8. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

WARNING: Wear ear and eye protection when using this power tool.

Power tool use and care

1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
2. Do not use the power tool when the switch does not turn it on or off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired;
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the power tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
4. Store your power tool out of reach for children and other untrained persons. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain the power tool with care. Check for misalignment of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If you detect damage, have the power tool serviced before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Only use accessories that are recommended by EUROBOOR for your electric die grinder. Accessories that are suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.
8. Use the electric die grinder, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tools, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tools for operations different from intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Service

1. Power tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in risk of injury.
2. When servicing a power tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorised parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

WARNING: Remove the plug from socket before carrying out any installation, adjustment, servicing or maintenance.

Residual risk

In spite of following the relevant safety regulations and their implementation, every power tool involves a certain residual risk which cannot be completely excluded by safety mechanisms. Power tools must therefore always be operated with caution!

1.2 Specific safety information for grinding

WARNING: This power tool is intended to function as a grinder. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

1. Operations such as sanding, wire brushing, polishing or cutting-off are not recommended to be performed with this power tool. Operations for which the power tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
2. Never put fingers on the switch button while moving the tool to avoid unintentional starting of the electric die grinder.
3. Ensure the mounting screws and other assemblies are fixed properly and securely before operate the electric die grinder. Turn on the switch and let the tool work for 30 seconds in a safe position. Stop immediately if considerable vibration or other defects are detected, have it repaired.
4. Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
5. Always use an approved and proper guard when using the accessories.
6. 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.
7. The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
8. The shank size of your accessory must properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Accessories that do not match the hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
9. Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or hearing protectors.
10. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the grinding accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Grinding accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and cause electrical shock.
11. Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
12. Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
13. Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
14. 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.
15. Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
16. Do not leave the tool unattended when it is plugged into an electrical outlet. Turn off the tool, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.

1.3 Kickback and related warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged grinding accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the grinding accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation at the point of the binding.

For example, if a rotary burr is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of it that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing the rotary burr to climb out or kick out .The rotary burr may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of its movement at the point of pinching.

Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:

1. Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces.
2. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, 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.
3. When using rotary burrs or other grinding accessories, always have the workpiece securely clamped. These grinding accessories will grab if they become slightly canted in the groove, and can kickback. When a rotary burr grabs, it may jump from the groove and you could lose control of the grinder.
4. Never place your hand near the grinding accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
5. Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the accessory’s movement at the point of snagging.
6. Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the grinding accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the grinding accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
7. Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
