General safety advice for electrical power tools

discs could become detached from the device
and result in injury and / or damage to property.

½

Do not allow the end of the spindle
to contact the base of the hole in the
abrasive consumable.

½

Do not work in areas where there may
be concealed electricity cables or gas
or water pipes. Use a suitable detector
or ask your local utility service pro-
viders. Contact with electricity cables can
lead to fire or electric shock. Damaging a gas
pipe can lead to an explosion. Penetration of a
water pipe can lead to property damage or to
electric shock.

WARNING!

NOXIOUS FUMES!

Working with harmful / noxious dusts represents
a risk to the health of the person operating the
device and to anyone near the work area.

½

For longer periods of cutting or grind-
ing metal or stone materials which
give rise to dusts that are hazardous
to health, the device must be connected
to a suitable external dust extraction
device.

½

Ensure that there is adequate ventila-
tion when working on plastic, paint,
varnish etc.

½

Do not soak the materials or the sur-
face you are about to work on with
liquids containing solvents.

½

DANGER OF INJURY! Wear close-fitting
clothing and keep long hair inside a
hairnet or suitable headwear.

½

For safety reasons this device must
always be used with the auxiliary
handle

must

always be in place when working with
roughing, grinding or cutting discs.
Otherwise there could be danger of injury.

½

Use the vacuum dust extraction facility
if your work generates high amounts
of dust. Use suction devices particular-
ly approved for the purpose.

½

Use permitted consumables and tools
only. Check that the speed given on the
discs is greater or equal to the rated
speed of the device.

½

Take note of the direction of rotation
and always hold the device in such a
way that the sparks and grinding de-
bris are thrown away from your body.
Otherwise there could be danger of injury.

Advice on use

Note! Discs must be used only for their recom-

become damaged or cause accidents.

Roughing (see Fig. G):

Never use cutting discs for

roughing or grinding!

½

Move the angle grinder using even
pressure to and fro over the workpiece.

½

Hold the roughing or grinding disc at
a flat angle to the workpiece when
working on a soft material. Use a
slightly steeper angle for harder ma-
terials.

Disc-cutting (see Figs. E, F):

Never use roughing or
grinding discs for cutting!

½

Only use certified fibre-reinforced cut-
ting or grinding discs approved for use at
circumferential speeds of not less than 80 m / s.

CAUTION! The disc continues to rotate after

the device has been switched off. Do not at-
tempt to slow it down by pressing on the side
of the disc.

½

Securely support the workpiece. Use
clamps or a vice to grip the workpiece firmly.
This is much safer than holding it in your hand.

½

Switch the device off and allow it to
