The 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

operator from broken wheel fragments and acci-

dental contact with wheel.

Wheels must be used only for recommended

applications.

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

off wheel.

Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for

peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these

wheels may cause them to shatter.

Always use undamaged wheel flanges that

are of correct size and shape for your selected

wheel.

Proper wheel flanges support the wheel

thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.

Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from

grinding wheel flanges.

Do not use worn down wheels from larger

power tools.

Wheels intended for larger power

tools are not suitable for the higher speed of a

smaller tool and may burst.

4.4 Additional Safety Warnings Specific for

Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:

Do 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 possi-

bility of kickback or wheel breakage.

Do not position your body in line with and

behind the rotating wheel.

When the wheel, at

the point of operation, is moving away from your

body, the possible kickback may propel the spin-

ning wheel and the power tool directly at you.

When wheel is binding or when interrupting a

cut for any reason, switch off the power tool

and hold the power tool 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 kick-

back may occur.

Investigate and take corrective

action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.

Do not restart the cutting operation in the

workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and

carefully reenter the cut.

The wheel may bind,

walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in

the workpiece.

Support panels or any oversized workpiece

to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kick-

back.

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.

Use extra caution when making a "pocket

cut" into existing walls or other blind areas.

The

protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, elec-

trical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.

4.5 Safety Warnings Specific for Wire

Brushing Operations:

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.

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.

4.6 Additional Safety Instructions

Use elastic cushioning layers if they have been

supplied with the abrasive 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 instruc-

tions.

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 2 and chapter 15 Technical Specifica-

tions for more information on the spindle length

and thread.

For your own protection and for the

protection of your power tool, pay atten-

tion to all parts of the text that are

marked with this symbol!

Always wear protective goggles.

During machining, of metals in

particular, conductive dust can

form deposits inside the machine. This can lead to

the transfer of electrical energy onto the machine

housing. This can mean a temporary danger of

electric shocks. This is why it is necessary when

the machine is running to blow compressed air

through the rear ventilation slots of the machine
