of your power tool. Tools with a
thread insert must fit precisely onto
the thread of the grinding spindle.
For tools that are mounted using a
flange, the diameter of the hole of the
tool must match the mounting diam
eter of the flange.Toolsthatdonotfit
precisely to the power tool will rotate
unevenly, vibrate heavily and may cause
loss of control over the device.
g Do not use damaged tool inserts.
Before each use, check the tool
inserts such as sanding discs for
splits and tears, sanding plates for
tears or wear or weaknesses, wire
brushes for loose or broken wires.
If the electrical tool or tool insert
is dropped, check to make sure it
is not damaged, or use an undam
aged tool insert. After checking and
installing the tool insert, make sure
that you and anybody else in the
vicinity are outside the area of the
rotating tool insert and allow the tool
to rotate at top speed for a minute. A
damaged tool insert will usually break
within this test period.
h Wear personal protective gear.
Depending on application, use full
face protection, visor or goggles.
Where appropriate, wear dust protec
tion masks, ear defenders, protective
gloves or special aprons to keep the
tiny grinding and material particles
away. The eyes should be protected
fromtheflyingobjectsthataregenerat-
ed by the various applications. Dust or
breathing masks should be capable of

If you are exposed to loud noises for a
longer period of time, you hearing may
suffer.
i Ensure that other people are kept

at a safe distance to the area in

5455260-Winkelschleifer_man.indd 58
which you are working. Anyone who
enters the working area should be
wearing personal protective gear.
Pieces of the workpiece or broken
tools may be thrown up and cause
injury even outside the immediate
working area.
j Hold the tool by the insulated han
dle surfaces only when carrying out
tasks during which is it possible
that the tools will come across hid
den power cables or its own cable.
Contact with a power-carrying cable
can also put metal parts of the unit
under power and cause an electric
shock.
k Keep the main power cable away
from rotating tools. If you loose con-
trol of the unit, the power cable may
be cut or caught up and your hand or
arm may be pulled into the rotating
tool.
l Never set the electrical tool down
before the tool insert has come to a
complete standstill. The rotating tool
insert may come into contact with
the resting surface and cause you to
loose control of the electrical tool.
m Never operate the electrical tool
while you are carrying it. Your
clothes may be accidentally caught in
the rotating tool insert and the insert
may injure you.
n Regularly clean the ventilation slots
of your electrical tool. The motor fan
draws dust into the housing, and a
large build up of metal dust can lead
to electrical risks.
o Never use the electrical tool in the
vicinity of flammable materials.
