WARNING!
Risk of severe injuries.
¾
Always wear safety goggles.
■
Use flexible underlays if these are supplied
with the abrasive and when they are required.
■
Observe the instructions of the tool or acces -
sory manufacturer! Protect the wheels and
discs from grease and run-out!
■
Grinding wheels must be stored and handled
carefully according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
■
Never use cut-off wheels for roughing!
■
Cut-off wheels must not be exposed to lateral
pressure.
■
The workpiece must be resting on a stable
surface and secured to prevent slipping, e.g.
using clamping devices.
■
Large workpieces must be adequately sup -
ported.
■
If attachments with threaded insert are used,
the end of the spindle must not touch the
bottom of the hole in the grinding tool. Ensure
that the thread in the attachment is long
enough to take the length of the spindle.
■
The thread in the attachment must match the
thread of the spindle. Spindle length and
spindle thread, see Technical data.
■
During machining, particularly of metals, con -
ductive dust can become deposited inside the
machine. This can result in electrical energy
being transmitted to the machine housing. This
can pose a transient risk of electric shock. It
is therefore necessary to regularly, frequently
and thoroughly blow out the machine with
compressed air through the rear ventilation
slots with the machine running. Hold the
machine firmly while blowing out.
■
We recommend the installation of a stationary
extractor system and a residual-current circuit
breaker (RCCB). If the angle grinder is cut out
by the RCCB, the machine must be inspected
and cleaned.
WARNING!
Dusts from materials such as
lead-based coatings, some wood
species, minerals and metals can be
harmful to health.
Â
Touching or inhaling the dusts
can lead to allergic reactions
and/or respiratory disorders
in the user or in persons in the
vicinity.
¾
Wear gloves and respiratory
protection.
WARNING!
Certain dusts such as oak or
beech dust are considered to
be carcinogenic, particularly in
combination with additives for wood
preservation (chromate, wood
preservatives).
Â
Touching or inhaling the dusts
can lead to allergic reactions
and/or respiratory disorders
in the user or in persons in the
vicinity.
¾
Wear gloves and respiratory
protection.
¾
Materials containing asbestos
may only be machined by
qualified persons.
¾
Use a dust extractor, if possible.
¾
Ensure good ventilation of the
place of work.
¾
We recommend the wearing of
a respirator with filter class P2.
■
Observe the applicable regulations in your
country for the materials to be machined.
