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 sudden- ly 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.
