connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
h) Use clamps or a vise to secure
the object to be worked in place.
The work will be safer if both hands
are free to control the tool.
i) Do not grind any material
containing asbestos. Working with
asbestos and/or silica wheel, the
dust produced is harmful for health.
Prevent inhalation of these types
of dust by following the appropriate
health and safety regulations.

the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if

dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from
the power source and/or the

power tool or these instructions

tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check
for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may
affect the power tool’s operation.
If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many
