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.
■ When working on metal for longer periods,
connect the tool to a suitable external extrac-
tion system.
■ Ensure that there is adequate ventilation
when working on plastic, paint, varnish etc.
■ Do not soak the materials or the surface you
are about to work on with liquids containing
solvents.
■ DANGER OF INJURY! Wear close-fi tting
clothing and keep long hair inside a hairnet
or suitable headwear.
■ For safety reasons this device must always be
used with the auxiliary handle in place.
■ The adjustable disc guard cover must al-
ways 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 particularly approved for the purpose.
■ Use permitted consumables and tools only.
Check that the speed given on the discs is great-
er 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 debris 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

Working procedures
NOTE
► Grinding tools should only be used for the
recommended applications. Otherwise, they
can break, be damaged or cause injuries.
Rough grinding:
Never use cutting discs for rough
grinding!
■ Move the angle grinder with moderate pres-
sure back and forth over the workpiece.
■ For soft material, move the rough grinding
disc at a fl at angle over the workpiece; for
hard material at a slightly steeper angle.
Abrasive cutting:
Never use rough grinding discs for
cutting!
■ Use only tested fi bre-reinforced cutting or
grinding discs that are approved for a circum-
ferential speed of no less than 80 m/s.
CAUTION!
The grinder continues running after being turned
off . Do not try to brake it by applying lateral
counterpressure.
■ Immobilise the workpiece securely. Use clamps/
vices to hold the workpiece fi rmly in place.
This is much safer than simply holding it in your
hand.
■ Always switch off the appliance before putting
it away and wait for the appliance to come to
a complete standstill.
■ Release the ON/OFF switch immediately in
the event of a power failure or when the plug
is pulled out. Move it into the OFF position.
This prevents an uncontrolled restart.
■ Use the appliance only for dry cutting or
sanding.
■ The auxiliary handle must be mounted on
the appliance for all work.
■ Materials containing asbestos may NOT be
processed. Asbestos is a known carcinogen.
