ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR GRINDERS.
• Your grinder has been designed for grinding and cutting masonry and steel. Do not cut or grind
light metal with a magnesium content exceeding 80% since this type of metal is flammable.
• Do not use any accessories other than fibre reinforced grinding and cutting discs.
• Use the grinding and cutting discs recommended by the manufacturer only.
• The max. allowable speed of the grinding wheel or cutting disc must always be equal to or
greater than the no-load speed of the tool specified on the nameplate.
• Do not cut workpieces requiring a maximum depth of cut exceeding that of the cutting disc.
• Do not use grinding and cutting discs that do not conform to the dimensions stated in the
technical data. Do not use any spacers to make a disc fit onto the spindle.
• Inspect grinding and cutting discs before each use. Do not use chipped, cracked or otherwise
defective discs.
• If provided, ensure that blotters are used when the disc is fitted onto the spindle.
• When applying a threaded hole disc, ensure that the thread is long enough to accept the spindle.
• Ensure that the grinding or cutting disc is mounted correctly before use.
• Let the tool run at no-load in a safe position for at least 30 seconds. If there is a considerable
vibration or if any other defect occurs, stop the tool and check it to determine the cause.
• Do not operate this tool without the guard in place.
• Check that the workpiece is properly supported.
