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.

f) Use extra caution when making a "pocket

cut" into existing walls or other blind areas. The

protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes,

electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.

4.5 Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding

Operations:

a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding

disc paper. Follow manufacturers

recommendations, when selecting sanding

paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond the

sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may

cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.

4.6 Safety Warnings Specific for Wire

Brushing Operations:

a) Be 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.

b) If the use of a guard is recommended for wire

brushing, do not allow any interference of the

wire wheel or brush with the guard. Wire wheel

or brush may expand in diameter due to work load

and centrifugal forces.

4.7 Additional Safety Instructions:

WARNING – Always wear protective

goggles.

Use elastic cushioning layers if they have been

supplied with the grinding media and if required.

Observe the specifications of the tool or accessory

manufacturer! Protect the discs from grease or

impacts!

Grinding discs must be stored and handled with

care in accordance with the manufacturer's

instructions.

Never use parting grinder discs for roughing work!

Do not apply pressure to the side of parting grinder

discs.

The workpiece must lay flat and be secured against

slipping, e.g. using clamps. Large workpieces must

be sufficiently supported.

If accessories with threaded inserts are used, the

end of the spindle may not touch the base of the

hole on the grinding tool. Make sure that the thread

in the accessory is long enough to accommodate

the full length of the spindle. The thread in the

accessory must match the thread on the spindle.

See page 3 and chapter 14. Technical

Specifications for more information on the spindle

length and thread.

Use of a fixed extractor system is recommended.

Always install an RCD with a max. trip current of 30

mA upstream. If the angle grinder is shut down via

the RCD, it must be checked and cleaned. See

chapter 9. Cleaning.

Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools must not be

used.

Avoid damage to gas or water pipes, electrical

cables and load-bearing walls (static).

Pull the plug out of the socket before making any

adjustments, converting or servicing the machine.

A damaged or cracked additional handle must be

replaced. Never operate a machine with a defective

additional handle.

A damaged or cracked safety guard must be

replaced. Never operate a machine with a defective

safety guard.

Do not switch on the machine if tool parts or guard

devices are missing or defective.

Machines with a soft start (indicated by "WE" in the

model designation): An electronic error occurs if the

machine accelerates to maximum speed very

quickly when switched on. Other safety-related

electronic functions are no longer available. Have

the machine repaired immediately (see 12.).

Secure small workpieces. For example, clamp in a

vice.

Reduce dust exposure:

Some dust created by using this power tool

may contain chemicals known to cause

cancer, allergic reaction, respiratory disease, birth

defects or other reproductive harm. Some

examples of these chemicals are: Lead from lead-

based paints, crystalline silica from bricks and

cement and other masonry products, Arsenic and

chromium from chemically-treated lumber, hard

wood like oak or beech, Metals, Asbestos.

The risk from these exposures depends on how

long you or bystanders are being exposed.

Do not let particles enter the body.

To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work

in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved

safety equipment, such as dust masks that are

specially designed to filter out microscopic

particles.

Observe the relevant guidelines for your material,

staff, application and place of application (e.g.

occupational health and safety regulations,

disposal).

Collect the generated particles at the source, avoid

deposits in the surrounding area.

Use suitable accessories for special work (see

chapter 11.), thus less particles enter the

environment in an uncontrolled manner.

Use a suitable extraction unit.

Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:

- Do not direct the escaping particles and the

exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons

or on dust deposits.

- Use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers

- Ensure good ventilation of the workplace and

keep clean using a vacuum cleaner Sweeping or

blowing stirs up dust

- Vacuum or wash the protective clothing Do not

blow, beat or brush
