General safety advice for electrical power tools / Use
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).
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 suddenly 
stops due to it becoming retarded or trapped, 
pull the mains plug from the socket immediately.
Cutting: Advance the device at an 
appropriate rate. Do not incline the 
cutting disc.
Roughing, grinding and cutting discs 
get hot during use – allow them to 
cool fully before touching them.
Never use the device for a purpose 
for which it was not intended.
Before you insert the mains plug into 
the socket, always check that the de-
vice is switched off.
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.
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.
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.

Check the attached consumable or tool before use. 
It must be attached properly, not damaged, damp 
or cracked and must rotate freely. Test the operation 
of the device for 30 seconds. If a disc is not round 
or vibrates, do not use it. Look out for unusual noises 
or generation of sparks. Check that all the fastenings 
are correctly attached.

Setting the speed
Select the desired speed before use to suit your 
purpose. Turn the speed preselector wheel 
10
to the desired setting. The required rotational 
speed depends on the material being worked 
and the working conditions and can be deter-
mined by means of a practical test. 
The table below shows some recommended 
settings (for guidance only and given without 
liability) for a number of common applications. 
The accessories mentioned may not all be sup-
