wear on the spindle and spindle
thread.

Check that there can be no
hazards posed by sparks and
debris generated during use.

replaced.
TRAPPING HAZARDS
There is a risk of strangulation, scalp-
ing, and/or other cutting injury when
loose clothing, jewellery, necklaces,
hair, or gloves are not kept away
from the machine and its accessories.
HAZARDS DURING
OPERATION
z †
Avoid contact with the rotating
spindle and attached parting disc
to prevent cutting injuries to hands
and other parts of the body.
z †
Using the machine may expose
the operating personnel’s hands
to hazards such as e.g. cuts,
scrapes, and heat. Wear suitable
gloves to protect the hands.
z †
The operating and the mainte-
nance personnel must be
physically able to handle the
machine’s position, size, mass,
and power output.
z †
Hold the machine correctly:
Be prepared to counteract the
usual or sudden movements –
keep both hands ready.
z †
Make sure that your body is
balanced and that you are
standing on a stable surface.
z †
Activate a startup or shutdown
control device in the event of
power outage.
z †
Use only those lubricants recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
z †
Goggles must be worn; gloves
and protective clothing are
recommended.
z †
A hard hat must be worn for
overhead work.
z †
Specify the runout time when
this is longer than 5 s; it is
recommended urgently to place
the pneumatic angle grinder in a
protected place.
z †
For abrasive cutting work, the
workpiece must be supported in
such a manner that the parting slit
maintains a constant or increasing
width during the whole work.
z †
If the parting disc jams in a
parting slit, the pneumatic angle
grinder must be switched OFF and
the parting disc loosened. Before
resuming operation, check that
the parting disc has been secured
properly and is not damaged.
