uThe grinding surface of centre depressed wheels must

be mounted below the plane of the guard lip. An im-

properly mounted wheel that projects through the plane

of the guard lip cannot be adequately protected.

uThe guard must be securely attached to the power tool

and positioned for maximum safety, so the least

amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator.

The guard helps to protect the operator from broken

wheel fragments, accidental contact with wheel and

sparks that could ignite clothing.

uWheels must be used only for specified applications.

For example: do not grind with the side of cut-off

wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peri-

pheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may

cause them to shatter.

uAlways use undamaged wheel flanges that are of cor-

rect size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper

wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the pos-

sibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may

be different from grinding wheel flanges.

uDo not use worn down wheels from larger power tools.

A wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable for

the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.

uWhen using dual purpose wheels always use the cor-

rect guard for the application being performed. Failure

to use the correct guard may not provide the desired level

of guarding, which could lead to serious injury.

Additional safety warnings specific for cutting-off

operations:

uDo not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive

pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth

of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading

and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in

the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.

uDo not position your body in line with and behind the

rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of opera-

tion, is moving away from your body, the possible kick-

back may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool

directly at you.

uWhen the wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut

for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold it

motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop.

Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the

cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback

may occur. Investigate and take corrective action to elim-

inate the cause of wheel binding.

uDo not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece.

Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter

the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the

power tool is restarted in the workpiece.

uSupport panels or any oversized workpiece to minim-

ize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large

workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports

must be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut

and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the

wheel.

uUse extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into ex-

isting walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel

may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects

that can cause kickback.

uDo not attempt to do curved cutting. Overstressing the

wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting

or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of

kickback or wheel breakage, which can lead to serious in-

jury.

Safety warnings specific for sanding operations:

uUse proper sized sanding disc paper. Follow manufac-

turers recommendations, when selecting sanding pa-

per. Larger sanding paper extending too far beyond the

sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause

snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.

Safety warnings specific for wire brushing operations:

uBe aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush

even during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the

wires by applying excessive load to the brush The wire

bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.

uIf the use of a guard is specified for wire brushing, do

not allow any interference of the wire wheel or brush

with the guard. Wire wheel or brush may expand in dia-

meter due to work load and centrifugal forces.

Additional safety information

Wear safety goggles.

The protective guard must not be used for

cutting. With a suitable adapter, the protective

guard can also be used for cutting.

Hold the power tool firmly with both hands

and make sure you have a stable footing. The

power tool can be more securely guided with

both hands.

uUse suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are

hidden in the work area or call the local utility com-

pany for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead

to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to

explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property dam-

age or may cause an electric shock.

uDo not touch grinding and cutting discs until they have

cooled down. The discs can become very hot while work-

ing.

uRelease the On/Off switch and set it to the off position

when the power supply is interrupted, e. g., in case of

a power failure or when the mains plug is pulled. This

prevents uncontrolled restarting.

uSecure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with

clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by

hand.

uStore the application tools inside buildings, in a dry,

frost-free room at a uniform temperature.
