Safety

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.

JAvoid abrading paints containing lead or other substances hazardous to health.

JDo not machine materials containing asbestos. Asbestos is a known carcinogen.

JUse the device for dry cutting or dry grinding only.

JBefore you use a disc check that it is not broken, cracked or damaged in any other way.

JMake sure that abrasive consumables and tools are attached in accordance with the manufac- turer’s instructions and advice.

JAvoid contact with a moving roughing / grind- ing or cutting disc.

JOperate the device only with an attached roughing / grinding or cutting disc.

JNever use the device for a purpose for which it was not intended nor with non-original parts / accessories.

JUse only abrasive consumables and tools with an allowable speed at least as high as the no- load speed of the device! If you operate a disc at a speed higher than its permitted maximum this can lead to destruction of the disc.

JMake sure that the dimensions of the disc are suitable for the device.

The disc must fit without play on to the mounting flange shaft. Do not use a reducer piece or adapter.

JDo not subject cutting discs to any sideways pressure.

JDo not use cutting discs sideways for grinding.

JCheck abrasive consumables and tools before use. The abrasive consumable or tool must be properly attached and able to turn freely. Test the operation of the device for at least 30 sec- onds under no-load conditions. Do not use abrasive consumables or tools that are dam- aged, non-circular or vibrate.

JLook after your tools carefully. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. This way you will work more safely and achieve better results. Follow the advice on tool lubrication and con sumables replacement.

JAttach a hand guard (not included) for machin- ing with external accessories, such as a rubber sanding plate / cup brush / disc brush / flap disc.

JSwitch on the device before placing it against the workpiece. After machining lift the device from the workpiece before switching it off.

JAvoid placing your body in an unnatural position. Always hold the device securely with both hands (see Fig. D) while working. Always keep proper footing and balance.

JThe auxiliary handle must always be fitted whenever you are using the device.

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

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

The abrasive consumable or tool will continue to rotate after you have switched off the device.

JDo not allow the cutting disc to become trapped as this can lead to kickback. If the cutting disc becomes trapped, switch the device off imme- diately. Hold the device still until the disc comes to a complete stop. Only then can you remove the cutting disc from the workpiece.

JDo not switch on the device if the cutting disc is in the workpiece.

JEnsure that the ventilation slots do not become blocked if you are creating lots of dust while working. Should it be necessary to remove dust, first disconnect the electrical power tool from the mains supply, use non-metallic objects and avoid damaging the internal components.

JWhen not being used electrical power tools should be stored in dry conditions in a high or closed place, out of reach of children.

JHandle the device carefully and treat it with respect.

Protect the device from sharp blows and impacts.

JCheck the condition of the mains lead on your electrical power tool regularly and have any damage repaired by a competent specialist. Check the condition of extension leads regularly and replace them if they are damaged. Keep the handle and hand grip clean, dry and free of oil and grease.
