Working safely with this ma-
chine is possible only when the
operating and safety information
are read completely and the in-
structions contained therein are
strictly followed. In addition, the
general safety instructions in the
enclosed booklet must be fol-
lowed. Before using for the first
time, ask for a practical demon-
stration.
If the mains cable is damaged or
cut through while working, do not
touch the cable but immediately
pull the mains plug. Never use the
machine with a damaged cable.
Wear protective glasses and ear
protection.
The dust that is produced while
working can be detrimental to
health, inflammable or explosive.
Suitable safety measures are re-
quired.
Examples: Some dusts are re-
garded as carcinogenic. Use suita-
ble dust-/chip extraction and wear a
dust mask.
Dust from light alloys can burn or
explode. Always keep the work
place clean, as blends of materials
are particularly dangerous.
Wear protective gloves and sturdy
shoes.
When necessary, also wear an
apron.
■ Never allow children to use the machine.
■ When working with the machine, always hold it
firmly with both hands and provide for a secure
stance.
■ Always direct the cable to the rear away from
the machine.
■ Connect machines that are used in the open
via a residual current device (RCD) with an ac-
tuating current of 30 mA maximum. Use only
extension cables that are approved for outdoor
use.
■ Always switch off the machine and allow to
come to a stop before placing it down.
■ Insert the mains plug only when the machine is
switched off.
■ For mains failure or when the main plug is
pulled, unlock the On/Off switch immediately
and turn it to the off position. This prevents un-
controlled restarting.
■ The machine must be used only for dry cut-
ting/grinding.
■ For all work with the machine, the auxiliary
handle 4 must be mounted.
■ For work with roughing or cutting discs, the
protective guard 5 must be mounted. For work
with the rubber sanding plate 19 or with the
cup brush 22/disc brush/flap disc, mounting
the hand protector 17 (optional extra) is rec-
ommended.
■ Use a vacuum cleaner for drawing off the dust
when working with stone and wear a dust
mask. The vacuum cleaner must be approved
for masonry dust. When cutting stone, use the
cutting guide.
■ Do not work with materials containing asbes-
tos.
■ Use only grinding tools with a permissible
speed at least as high as the no-load speed of
the machine.
■ Check grinding tools before use. The grinding
tool must be properly mounted and turn freely.
Perform a test run for at least 30 seconds with-
out load. Do not use damaged, out-of-round or
vibrating grinding tools.
■ Protect the grinding tool from impact, shock
and grease.
■ Apply the machine to the workpiece only when
switched on.
■ Keep hands away from rotating grinding tools.
■ Pay attention to the direction of rotation. Al-
ways hold the machine so that sparks and
grinding dust fly away from the body.
