Cutting discs

Never use roughing or grinding discs for cutting!

JOnly use certified fibre-reinforced cutting or grinding discs approved for use at circumferen-

tial speeds of not less than 80 m/s.

mCaution! The disc continues to rotate after the device has been switched off. Do not attempt to slow it down by pressing on the side of the

disc.

JSecurely support the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to grip the workpiece firmly. This is much safer than holding it in your hand.

JSwitch the device off and allow it to come to a complete standstill before you put it down.

JUnlock the ON/OFF switch immediately 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 inadvertently started up again.

JUse the device for dry cutting or dry grinding only.

JThe auxiliary handle 5 must be in place whenever the device is being used.

JDo not work on materials containing asbestos. Asbestos is a known carcinogen.

A tip! Using the device safely.

m Danger! Always guide the

device through the workpiece

against the direction 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.

JAlways switch on the device before placing it against the workpiece. After cutting or grind- ing, always lift the device from the workpiece before switching it off.

JWhen working always hold the device securely with both hands (see Fig. D). Always keep proper footing and balance.

JFor the best grinding performance move the de- vice evenly to and fro over the workpiece main-

Safety advice / Use

taining an angle of 15° to 30° (between grinding disc and workpiece).

JWhen working on inclined surfaces do not press the device hard down on to the work- piece. If the speed slows greatly, use less pres- sure. This will allow you to work more effective- ly and safely. If the device suddenly stops due to it becoming retarded or trapped, pull the mains plug from the socket immediately.

JCutting: Advance the device at an appropriate rate. Do not incline the cutting disc.

JRoughing, grinding and cutting discs get hot during use – allow them to cool fully before touching them.

JNever use the device for a purpose for which it was not intended.

JBefore you insert the mains plug into the socket, always check that the device is switched off.

JIf 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.

JWhen 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.

JRemain 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.
