f) Do not use worn grinding discs for
larger electric tools. Grinding discs for
larger electric tools are not set up for
the higher rotation speeds of smaller
electric tools and can break.
Other special safety
instructions for cutting
grinding
a) Avoid blocking the cutting disc or
pressing down too hard. Do not make
any excessively deep cuts. Overload-
ing the cutting disc increases wear
and its tendency to tilt or block and,
with that, to kickback or break the
grinder.
b) Avoid the area in front of and behind
the rotating cutting disc. When you
move the cutting disc by itself in the
workpiece, in the event that the elec-
tric tool kicks back with the rotating
disc, it can spin directly towards you.
c) If the cutting disc jams, or you interrupt
your work, switch the device off and
hold it until the disc has come to a full
stop. Never try to pull the cutting disc
out of the cut while it is still running,
because it can kick back. Identify and
correct the cause of the jamming.
d) Do not switch the electric tool on again
as long as it is in the workpiece. Allow
the cutting disc to first reach its full
rotational speed before you carefully
resume with the cutting. Otherwise,
the disc may catch, spring away from
the workpiece or cause a kickback.
e) Support plates or workpieces to
reduce the risk of kickback from a
jammed cutting disc. Large workpiec-
es may bend under their own weight.
The workpiece must be supported on
both sides of the disc, near the cutting
disc as well as also at the edge.

f) Be particularly careful for pocket cuts
in existing walls or other areas where
you cannot see what is there. The cut-
ting disc may cause a kickback when
it cuts into gas or water lines, electrical
lines or other hidden objects.
Additional safety instructions
for working with wire brushes
Special safety instructions for working
with wire brushes
Be aware that the wire brushes also
•
lose wire pieces during typical use.
Do not overload the wires by press-
ing down too hard. Flying wire pieces
can very easily penetrate thin clothing
and/or your skin.
•
If a protective hood is recommend-
ed, do not allow the wire brushes
and the protective hood to touch
each other. The diameter of plate and
cup brushes can enlarge if too much
pressure and centrifugal force is ex-
erted.
Practical tips
When selecting the tool, ensure
that its specified permissible
rotation speed is at least as high
as the maximum rotation speed
specified on the angle grinder.
When selecting the disc, pay at-
tention to the maximum permis-
sible diameter and the maximum
permissible thickness.
Pay attention to the thread size
M14 when selecting the brush.
