• The permitted speed of a replacement tool must be at least as great as the maxi-
mum speed of the device.
• Outside diameter and thickness of a insert tool must correspond to the dimensions
specified for your power tool (Ø<25 mm). Incorrectly dimensioned insert tools may
not be adequately shielded or controlled.
• Tools or external accessories must match; otherwise, the result may be imbal-
anced operation, vibrations, etc.
• Do not use any damaged tools. Perform an inspection before each use: for ex-
ample, check grinding wheels for cracks, cutting disks for cracks, heavy wear.
• Never set aside the power tool before the insert tool has come to a complete
standstill. The rotating insert tool can come into contact with the surface upon
which it is placed. This can result in your losing control of the power tool.
• Do not operate the power tool while walking. Your clothing can get caught in the
rotating insert tool due to accidental contact, and the insert tool can puncture
your body.
• Do not use the power tool near flammable substances. Sparks can cause these
materials to ignite.
• Hold the unit firmly during every use so that you may be adequately prepared to
react to recoil. Recoil can result in minor or severe injuries. Ensure the safe and
even guiding of the tool during work in order to avoid recoil.
• Users of the device should be at least 16 years old.
• Avoid freehand grinding without a hand rest. Ensure a stable stance or support
of your hand and arm.
• Do not use any cracked, bent, imbalanced or vibrating cutting disks, grinding
wheels or grinding pencils.
• Always select the tool best suited for the particular operation. Cutting disks, for
example, must not be used for side grinding.
• Before each use of each tool you should ensure that:
- it is assembled and tightened properly.
- the device rotates freely (rotate by hand to check).
- a test run has been performed by running the tool from a safe position for
approximately one minute at the highest speed and while not subjected to any
stress.
• Flying sparks when working with metal can result in burns. Keep your work area
free of flammable substances.
