General safety advice for electrical power tools / Preparing for use

A tip! Using the device safely.

DANGER! Always guide the device through the workpiece against the di-

rection 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.

Always switch on the device before placing it against the workpiece. After cutting or grinding, always lift the device from the workpiece before switching it off.

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

For the best grinding performance move the device evenly to and fro over the workpiece maintaining an angle of 15° to 30° (between grinding disc and workpiece).

When working on inclined surfaces do not press the device hard down on to the workpiece. If the speed slows greatly, use less pressure. This will allow you to work more effectively and safely. If the device sudden- ly stops due to it becoming retarded or trapped, pull the mains plug from the socket immediately. Cutting: Advance the device at an appropriate rate. Do not incline the cutting disc.

Roughing, grinding and cutting discs get hot during use – allow them to cool fully before touching them. Never use the device for a purpose for which it was not intended. Before you insert the mains plug into the socket, always check that the de- vice is switched off.

If 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.

When 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.

Remain 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.

Preparing for use

Attaching the disc guard cover using the quick-release fastener

WARNING! DANGER OF INJURY! Pull the mains plug out of the mains socket before you carry out any task on the device.

DANGER OF INJURY! Always use the angle grinder with the disc guard cover in place. The disc guard cover must be securely attached to the angle grinder. To ensure the highest level of safety while using the device, ensure that the smallest possible area of the grinding or cutting tool is exposed to the operator at all times. The disc guard cov- er is there to protect the operator from pieces breaking off and accidental contact with the grinding or cutting tool.

DANGER OF INJURY! Ensure that the

guard 7 is attached so that its edge is beyond the angle of the auxiliary handle 6 (see Fig. B). Otherwise you could injure yourself against the grinding or cutting disc.

Open the clamping lever 8 .

Insert the disc cover guide 7 with the coded projection 9 in the coded groove 16 .

Turn the disc guard cover 7 into the desired position (working position). The closed side of the disc guard cover 7 must always be facing the operator.

Close the clamping lever 8 to firmly clamp the disc guard cover 7 in place.

If necessary the clamping force of the connection can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the adjuster screw 10 .
