General safety advice for electrical power tools General safety advice for electrical power tools
For safety reasons this device must
always be used with the auxiliary
handle
4 in place.
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.
Use the vacuum dust extraction facility
if your work generates high amounts
of dust. Use suction devices particular-
ly approved for the purpose.
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.
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.
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 .
Q
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!
Move the angle grinder using even
pressure to and fro over the workpiece.
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!
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.
Securely support the workpiece. Use
clamps or a vice to grip the workpiece firmly.
This is much safer than holding it in your hand.
Switch the device off and allow it to
come to a complete standstill before
you put it down.
Unlock the ON / OFF switch immedi-
ately if a power failure occurs or the
plug is pulled out of the mains socket.
Place the switch in the OFF position.
This prevents the device from being inadvertent-
ly started up again.
Use the device for dry cutting or dry
grinding only.
The auxiliary handle 4 must be in place
whenever the device is being used.
Do not work on materials containing
asbestos. Asbestos is a known carcinogen.
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.
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.
When working always hold the device
securely with both hands (see Fig. G).
Always keep proper footing and balance.
