Particular safety notes with regard to
sanding and abrasive cutting:
a Use only grinding tools expressly
permitted for use with your electrical
tool and the appropriate protective
hood for these grinding tools. Grind-
ing tools which are not designed for
use with the electrical tool cannot be
properly shielded and are unsafe.
b The protective hood must be affixed
securely to the electrical tool and set
in such a way that it ensures the
maximum level of safety possible,
i.e. the smallest possible area of the
grinding tool is exposed to the oper
ator. The protective hood should pro-
tect the operator from broken pieces
and accidental contact with the grind-
ing tool.
c Grinding tools may only be used for
the recommended applications. For
example: Never sand using the side
surface of a cutting wheel. Cutting
wheels are designed to remove mate-
rial with the edge of the disc. Lateral
forces working on these grinding tools
may break them.
d Always use undamaged tensioning
flanges in the correct size and
shape for the sanding disc you
have selected. Suitable flanges sup-
port the sanding disc and thus reduce
the danger of the disc breaking.
Flanges for cutting wheels may differ
from flanges for other sanding discs.
e Do not use worn sanding discs from
larger electrical tools. Sanding discs
for larger electrical tools are not
designed to handle the higher revolu-
tions of smaller tools and may break.
f Ofset grinding discs must be
installed so that their surface does
not extend beyond the level of the
edge of the safety guard. Improperly
mounted grinding discs which extend
beyond the level of the edge of the safe-
ty guard are not sufficiently shielded.
Additional safety notes with regard to
abrasive cutting:
a Avoid blocking the cutting wheel or
employing too great a pressure. Do
not execute any excessively deep
cuts. Overloading the cutting wheel
increases the wear and the tendency to
tilt or block and thus the possibility of
kick back or breaking of the grinding
tool.
b Avoid the area in front and behind
the rotating cutting wheel. If you
move the cutting wheel away from you
within the tool, in the event of the elec-
trical tool kicking back, the turning
wheel may be thrown in your direction.
c If the cutting wheel blocks or you
stop working, switch the unit of
and hold it still until the wheel has
come to a standstill. Never attempt
to pull a running cutting wheel out
of the cut, this may cause kick
back. Work out and eliminate the
cause of the blockage.
d Do not switch the electrical tool
back on with it still in the work
piece. Wait until the cutting wheel
has reached the full revolutions
before you carefully continue with
the cut. Otherwise the wheel may get
caught, jump out of the workpiece or
cause kick back.
e Support boards or large workpieces
to reduce the risk of kickback caused
by a jammed cutting wheel. Large
workpieces may bend under their own
weight. The workpiece should be sup-
