Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) determined
according to EN60745:
Work mode : surface grinding
Vibration emission (a
h,AG
) : 8.5 m/s
2
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s
2
The declared vibration emission value has been
measured in accordance with the standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
The declared vibration emission value may also be used
in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission value is used for main
applications of the power tool. However if the power tool
is used for other applications, the vibration emission
value may be different.
WARNING:
• The vibration emission during actual use of the
power tool can differ from the declared emission
value depending on the ways in which the tool is
used.
• Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the
operator that are based on an estimation of
exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking
account of all parts of the operating cycle such as
the times when the tool is switched off and when it
is running idle in addition to the trigger time).

GRINDER SAFETY WARNINGS
Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding,
Wire Brushing, or Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:
1. This power tool is intended to function as a
grinder, sander, wire brush or cut-off tool.
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.
2. Operations such as polishing 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing
pads or any other accessory must properly fit
the spindle of the power tool. Accessories with
arbour holes that do not match the mounting
hardware of the power tool will run out of balance,
vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
7. Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each
use inspect the accessory such as abrasive
wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for
cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for
loose or cracked wires. If power tool or
accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or
install an undamaged accessory. After
inspecting and installing an accessory,
