A tip! Using the device safely.
DANGER! Always guide
the device through the 
workpiece against the di-
rection of rotation of the 
disc. If you work in the other direction there is 
the risk of kickback. The device may be forced 
out of the cut.
½
Always switch on the device before 
placing it against the workpiece. After 
cutting or grinding, always lift the device from 
the workpiece before switching it off.
½
When working always hold the device 
securely with both hands (see Fig. G). 
Always keep proper footing and balance.
½
For the best grinding performance move the 
device evenly to and fro over the workpiece 
maintaining an angle of 15° to 30° (between 
grinding disc and workpiece).
½
When working on inclined surfaces do 
not press the device hard down on to 
the workpiece. If the speed slows greatly, 
use less pressure. This will allow you to work 
more effectively and safely. If the device sudden-
ly stops due to it becoming retarded or trapped, 
pull the mains plug from the socket immediately.
½
Cutting: Advance the device at an 
appropriate rate. Do not incline the 
cutting disc.
½
Roughing, grinding and cutting discs 
get hot during use – allow them to 
cool fully before touching them.
½
Never use the device for a purpose 
for which it was not intended.
½
Before you insert the mains plug into 
the socket, always check that the de-
vice is switched off.
½
If a dangerous situation arises, pull 
the mains plug immediately out of the 
mains socket. Ensure that the device and 
the mains plug are easily accessible and can 
be reached quickly in an emergency.
½
When taking a break from your 
work, before carrying out any tasks 
on the device itself and when you are 
not using the device, always pull the 
mains plug out of the mains socket. 
Always keep the device clean, dry and free of 
oil or grease.
½
Remain alert at all times! Always watch 
what you are doing and proceed with 
caution. Do not use the device if you cannot 
concentrate or you are feeling unwell.
