General safety advice for electrical power tools
The workpiece must be supported to both sides 
of the cutting disc and particularly near the 
cutting disc and at the workpiece edge.
f)
Be particularly careful when pocket 
cutting in existing walls or other areas 
where you cannot see what you are cut-
ting into. The cutting disc plunged into the surface 
could cut through gas or water pipes, electricity 
cables or other objects and cause kickback.

Special safety advice for 
abrading using sandpaper
½
Do not use over-sized sanding sheets. 
Follow the manufacturer’s recommen-
dations for sanding sheet size. Sanding 
sheets that project beyond the backing pad 
could cause injury in addition to jamming, 
tearing of the sheet or kickback.

advice for polishing
½
Do not use the polishing bonnet if it 
has any loose parts, in particular the 
fastening cords. Tuck the fastening cords 
away or trim them. Loose fastening cords rotat-
ing with the attachment could catch your fingers 
or become trapped in the workpiece.

Special safety advice for 
working with wire brushes
a)
Bear in mind that wire brushes lose 
pieces of wire during normal use. Do 
not overload the wires by applying too 
much pressure. Flying pieces of wire can very 
easily penetrate thin clothing and / or skin.
b)
Use a guard, if recommended, but make 
sure that the wire brush does not come 
into contact with the guard. The diameters 
of disc brushes and cup brushes can increase 
due to contact pressure and centripetal forces.

and handled in accordance with the 
manufacturer’s instructions. Otherwise 
they could be damaged.
½
Make sure that abrasive consumables 
and tools are attached in accordance 
with the manufacturer’s instructions 
and advice. Otherwise they could become 
detached from the device and result in injury 
and / or damage to property.
½
Ensure that any spacers supplied and 
required for the use of certain abrasive 
consumables and tools are installed.
½
Do not use separate reducing bushes 
or adapters in order to make grinding 
discs with a larger bore fit.
½
When using abrasive consumables 
and tools with a threaded insert make 
sure that the tread is long enough for 
the spindle length. Otherwise the grinding
