General safety advice for electrical power tools
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
For safety reasons this device must always be used with the auxiliary handle 6 in place.
The adjustable disc guard cover 7 must always be in place when work- ing with roughing, grinding or cutting discs. Otherwise there could be danger of in- jury.
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 15 .
Advice on use
Note! Discs must be used only for their recom- mended purposes, otherwise they could disintegrate, become damaged or cause accidents.
Roughing:
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.
Never use roughing or grinding discs for cutting!
Only use certified
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 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 6 must be in place whenever the device is being used. Do not work on materials containing asbestos. Asbestos is a known carcinogen.
