3.9 During work
Power tool description
ENGLISH 11
If metals or mineral materials, such as stone, masonry, concrete or ceramics are processed with the power
tool, fine dust, dust, steam and smoke that contain substances hazardous to health may arise. These
substances may cause severe or fatal diseases, such as respiratory diseases, cancer, damage to the
reproductive system and genetic code (malformation of progeny).
For example, crystalline silicone dioxide can be released when processing quartz-containing materials
such as stone, masonry, granite or concrete. Respirable crystalline silicone dioxide may trigger severe or
fatal respiratory diseases, such as silicose, and is suspected of being carcinogenic.
A list of substances hazardous to health might possibly be available from the country-specific authorities,
institutes or professional associations.
x If you cannot assess the risk connected with use and setup of the power tool and the material
processed, read up the following documents on the health and safety risks:
– Material-specific safety data-sheets
– Operating instructions of the power tool
– Work instructions and safety provisions of your employer
– Information and recommendations of your dealer, specialist dealer or specialist workshop
– Information of the country-specific authorities, institutes and professional associations
x Always observe all the work instructions, safety notes and safety provisions for the secure and effective
handling of the cutting materials and the power tool that have been published by your employer,
country-specific authorities, institutes and professional associations.
x If possible avoid the generation of fine dust, dust, steam and smoke by the corresponding work conduct
and work techniques.
x If possible, use cut-off wheels suitable for wet cutting and the water connection of the power tool.
When cutting with water supply, the dust is reduced, visibility is improved and the cut-off wheel service
life is increased by the cooling effect of the water.
x If danger from inhalation of fine dust, dust, steam and smoke cannot be excluded by technical
measures, such as use of the power tool's water connection or a suitable extraction device, all persons
in the proximity and users of the power tool must wear suitable breathing protection equipment to
protect them from dust.
x Basic device
x Cut-off wheel
x Spindle adapter disk for cut-off wheels with 1" inner bore
x Tools: Combination tool (spark plug spanner with screwdriver), blocking pin and additional small
screwdriver
