• Only use grinding discs where the
indicated rotational speed is at least
as high as what has been specified on
the name plate of the device.
• Carry out a visual inspection of the
grinding disc before use. Do not use
any damaged or deformed grinding
discs. Replace any damaged or worn
grinding discs.
• Make sure that the sparks produced
by grinding do not present a danger,
e.g. reach people or ignite flammable
substances.
• Always wear safety goggles, safety
gloves, respiratory protection and ear
protection when grinding, brushing
and cutting.
• Never keep the fingers between the
grinding disc and spark protection or
in close proximity to the protective
hoods. There is a risk of crushing.
• The rotating parts of the device cannot
be covered due to functional reasons.
Therefore, proceed cautiously and
hold the workpiece firmly in order to
avoid slipping which could cause your
hands to come into contact with the
grinding disc.

ing. Do not touch the machined area,
allow it to cool down. There is a risk
of burning. Do not use coolants or the
like.
