The machine is intended for cutting, roughing and
brushing metal and stone materials without using
water. For cutting stone, a cutting guide is re-
quired.
Electronically-controlled machines can be used
for sanding and polishing with the approved
sanding tools.
Slots in load-carrying walls are subject to Part 1
of the German Industrial Standard
(DIN)
No. 1053, or to country-specific regulations.
These regulations are to be observed under all
circumstances. Before beginning work, consult
the structural engineer, architect or construction
supervisor in charge.
Working safely with this ma-
chine is possible only when the
operating and safety information
is read completely and the in-
structions contained therein are
strictly followed. In addition, the
general safety notes in the en-
closed booklet must be ob-
served. Before using for the first
time, ask for a practical demon-
stration.
■
Wear protective glasses and ear protection.
■
Wear additional protection equipment for your
safety, such as protective gloves, sturdy
shoes, hard hat and apron.
■
The dust generated during working can be det-
rimental to health, inflammable or explosive.
Suitable safety measures are required.
For example: Some types of dust are sus-
pected of being carcinogenic. Use suitable
dust-/chip extraction and wear a dust mask.
■
Dust from light alloys can burn or explode. Al-
ways keep the workplace clean, as mixtures of
materials are particularly dangerous.
■
If the cable is damaged or cut through while
working, do not touch the cable and pull the
plug immediately. Never use the machine if the
cable is damaged.
■
Connect machines that are used in the open
via a residual current device (RCD) with an ac-
tuating current of 30 mA maximum. Do not op-
erate the machine in rain or moisture.
■
When working with the machine, always hold it
firmly with both hands and make sure you are
in a secure standing position.
■
Secure the workpiece.
Clamping devices or a
vise will hold the workpiece in place better than
the hand.
■
Always direct the cable to the rear away from
the machine.
■
Always switch the machine off and wait until it
has come to a standstill before placing it down.
