c) Wheels must be used only for recommended applications.

For example: do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel.

Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces

applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.

d) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct size

and shape for your selected wheel.

Proper wheel flanges support

the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for

cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges.

e) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools.

Wheel

intended for larger power tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a

smaller tool and may burst.

Additional Safety Warnings Specific for Abrasive Cutting-Off

Operations:
Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do

not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut.

Overstressing the

wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of

the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.

b) Do not position your body in line with and behind the

rotating wheel.

When the wheel, at the point of operation, is moving

away from your body, the possible kickback may propel the spinning

wheel and the power tool directly at you.

c) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any

reason, switch off the power tool and hold the power tool

motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never

attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while the

wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur.

Investigate and

take corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.

d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let

the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter the cut.

The

wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in

the workpiece.

e) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the

risk of wheel pinching and kickback.

Large workpieces tend to sag

under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the workpiece

near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides

of the wheel.

f) Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into existing

walls or other blind areas.

The protruding wheel may cut gas or

water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.

Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations:
Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow

manufacturers recommendations, when selecting sanding

paper.

Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad

presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the

disc or kickback.

Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing Operations:
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even

during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the wires by

applying excessive load to the brush.

The wire bristles can easily

penetrate light clothing and/or skin.

b) If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing, do

not allow any interference of the wire wheel or brush with

the guard.

Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter due to work

load and centrifugal forces.

Appliances used at many different locations including open air should

be connected via a residual current device (FI, RCD, PRCD) of 30mA

or less.
Sawdust and splinters must not be removed while the machine is

running.
Only plug-in when machine is switched off.
Never reach into the danger area of the machine when it is running.
Always use the auxiliary handle.
Always use the protecting cap when roughing-down and separating.
Immediately switch off the machine in case of considerable vibrations

or if other malfunctions occur. Check the machine in order to find out

the cause.
Always use and store the grinding disks according to the

manufacturer’s instructions.
When grinding metal, flying sparks are produced. Take care that

no persons are endangered. Because of the danger of fire, no

combustible materials should be located in the vicinity (spark flight

zone). Do not use dust extraction.
Due care should be taken that no sparks or sanding dust flying from

the workpiece come into contact with you.
When separating stone the guide shoe must be used!
The adjusting nut must be tightened before starting to work with

the machine.
The workpiece must be fixed if it is not heavy enough to be steady.

Never lead the workpiece to the grinding disk with your hand.
Under extreme conditions (e.g. smooth-grinding metals with the arbour

and vulcanized fibre grinding wheel), significant contamination can build up

on the inside of the angle grinder. For safety reasons, in such conditions the

inside should be cleaned thoroughly of metal deposits and a motor circuit-

breaker must be connected in series. If the motor circuit-breaker trips the

machine must be sent for repair.
For accessories intended to be fitted with threaded hole wheel,

ensure that the thread in the wheel is long enough to accept the

spindle length.
Use the safety guard from the accessories range when performing

out cutting work.

SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE

The angle grinder may be used for cutting, grinding, sanding and
