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.
½ 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
4 in place.
½
The adjustable disc guard cover 5 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.
½
Make sure that the dimensions of the
disc are suitable for the device and
that the disc is of a type that fits prop-
erly on to the mounting flange
8 .
© Advice on use
Note! Discs must be used only for their recom-
mended purposes, otherwise they could disintegrate,
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
come to a complete standstill before
you put it down.
½
Unlock the ON / OFF switch immedi-
ately if a power failure occurs or the
