General safety advice for electrical power tools / Use
tempt to slow it down by pressing on the side
of the disc.
Securely support the workpiece.
Use
clamps or a vice to grip the workpiece firmly.
This is much safer than holding it in your hand.
Switch the device off and allow it to
come to a complete standstill before
you put it down.
Unlock the ON / OFF switch immedi-
ately if a power failure occurs or the
plug is pulled out of the mains socket.
Place the switch in the OFF position.
This prevents the device from being inadvertent-
ly started up again.
Use the device for dry cutting or dry
grinding only.
The auxiliary handle 4 must be in place
whenever the device is being used.
Do not work on materials containing
asbestos.
Asbestos is a known carcinogen.
A tip! Using the device safely.
DANGER! Always guide
the device through the
workpiece against the di-
rection of rotation of the
disc.
If you work in the other direction there is
the risk of kickback. The device may be forced
out of the cut.
Always switch on the device before
placing it against the workpiece.
After
cutting or grinding, always lift the device from
the workpiece before switching it off.
When working always hold the device
securely with both hands (see Fig. G).
Always keep proper footing and balance.
For the best grinding performance move the
device evenly to and fro over the workpiece
maintaining an angle of 15° to 30° (between
grinding disc and workpiece).
When working on inclined surfaces do
not press the device hard down on to
the workpiece.
If the speed slows greatly,
use less pressure. This will allow you to work more
effectively and safely. If the device suddenly stops
due to it becoming retarded or trapped, pull the
mains plug from the socket immediately.
Cutting: Advance the device at an
appropriate rate. Do not incline the
cutting disc.
Roughing, grinding and cutting discs
get hot during use – allow them to
cool fully before touching them.
Never use the device for a purpose
for which it was not intended.
Before you insert the mains plug into
the socket, always check that the de-
vice is switched off.
If a dangerous situation arises, pull
the mains plug immediately out of the
mains socket.
Ensure that the device and
the mains plug are easily accessible and can
be reached quickly in an emergency.
When taking a break from your
work, before carrying out any tasks
on the device itself and when you are
not using the device, always pull the
mains plug out of the mains socket.
Always keep the device clean, dry and free of
oil or grease.
Remain alert at all times! Always watch
what you are doing and proceed with
caution.
Do not use the device if you cannot
concentrate or you are feeling unwell.
