Safety advice

and tools are installed.

JDo not use separate reducing bushes or adapt- ers in order to make grinding discs with a larg- er bore fit.

JWhen using abrasive consumables and tools with a threaded insert make sure that the tread is long enough for the spindle length.

JDo not work in areas where there may be con- cealed electricity cables or gas or water pipes. Use a suitable detector or ask your local utility service providers. Contact with electricity ca- bles can lead to fire or electric shock. Damag- ing a gas pipe can lead to an explosion. Pene- tration of a water pipe can lead to property damage or to electric shock.

JDanger of fire from flying sparks! Cutting or grinding metal

creates flying sparks. For this rea- son, always make sure that nobody is placed in any danger and that there are no inflammable materials near the working area.

Jm Warning! Noxious fumes! Working with harmful / noxious dusts represents a risk to the health of the person operating the device and to anyone near the work area.

JWear ear protectors, safety glasses, breathing/dust mask and protective gloves.

JFor longer periods of cutting or grinding metal or stone materials which give rise to dusts that are hazardous to health, the device must be connected to a suitable external dust extraction device.

Jm Warning! Danger of electric shock from metal dust!

Grinding or cutting metal can result in electri- cally conductive dust being deposited inside the device. In these circumstances the inside of the motor compartment must be blown out at frequent intervals with compressed air, vacuum extraction used and the device operated through a residual current device (RCD) with a maximum trip current of 30 mA.

JEnsure that there is adequate ventilation when working on plastic, paint, varnish etc.

JDo not soak the materials or the surface you are about to work on with liquids containing

10 GB/IE/CY

solvents.

JWear close-fitting clothing and keep long hair inside a hairnet or suitable headwear.

JFor safety reasons this device must always be used with the auxiliary handle 5 in place.

JThe adjustable disc guard cover 6 must always be in place when working with rough- ing, grinding or cutting discs.

JUse the vacuum dust extraction facility if your work generates high amounts of dust. Use suction devices particularly approved for the purpose.

JUse permitted consumables and tools only. Check that the speed given on the discs is greater or equal to the rated speed of the device.

JTake note of the direction of rotation and always hold the device in such a way that the sparks and grinding debris are thrown away from your body.

JMake sure that the dimensions of the disc are suitable for the device and that the disc is of a type that fits properly on to the mounting flange

Advice on use

Note! Discs must be used only for their recom- mended purposes, otherwise they could disinte- grate, become damaged or cause accidents.

Roughing discs

Never use cutting discs for roughing or grinding!

JMove the angle grinder using even pressure to and fro over the workpiece.

JHold the roughing or grinding disc at a flat angle to the workpiece when working on a soft material. Use a slightly steeper angle for hard- er materials.
