General safety advice for electrical power tools

discs could become detached from the device and result in injury and / or damage to property. Do not allow the end of the spindle to contact the base of the hole in the abrasive consumable.

Do not work in areas where there may be concealed electricity cables or gas or water pipes. Use a suitable detector or ask your local utility service pro- viders. Contact with electricity cables can lead to fire or electric shock. Damaging a gas pipe can lead to an explosion. Penetration of a water pipe can lead to property damage or to electric shock.

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. For longer periods of cutting or grind- ing 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.

Ensure that there is adequate ventila- tion when working on plastic, paint, varnish etc.

Do not soak the materials or the sur- face you are about to work on with liquids containing solvents.

DANGER OF INJURY! Wear close-fitting clothing and keep long hair inside a hairnet or suitable headwear.

For safety reasons this device must always be used with the auxiliary handle 4 in place.

The adjustable disc guard cover 5 must always be in place when working with roughing, grinding or cutting discs.

Otherwise there could be danger of injury. Use the vacuum dust extraction facility if your work generates high amounts of dust. Use suction devices particular- ly approved for the purpose.

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

Take note of the direction of rotation and always hold the device in such a way that the sparks and grinding de- bris are thrown away from your body. Otherwise there could be danger of injury. Make sure that the dimensions of the disc are suitable for the device and that the disc is of a type that fits prop- erly on to the mounting flange 8 .

Advice on use

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

Roughing (see Fig. G):

Never use cutting discs for roughing or grinding!

Move the angle grinder using even pressure to and fro over the workpiece. Hold the roughing or grinding disc at a flat angle to the workpiece when working on a soft material. Use a slightly steeper angle for harder ma- terials.

Disc-cutting (see Figs. E, F):

Never use roughing or grinding discs for cutting!

Only use certified fibre-reinforced cut- ting or grinding discs approved for use at circumferential speeds of not less than 80 m / s. CAUTION! The disc continues to rotate after the device has been switched off. Do not at- tempt to slow it down by pressing on the side of the disc.

Securely support the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to grip the workpiece firmly. This is much safer than holding it in your hand. Switch the device off and allow it to come to a complete standstill before you put it down.

Unlock the ON / OFF switch immedi- ately if a power failure occurs or the
