Device-specific safety instructions
WARNING:
Hazard-free working conditions can only be en-
sured if the operating manual and the safety in-
structions have been read in their entirety, and if
all instructions are strictly adhered to. The ma-
chine must only be operated by personnel famil-
iar with the operating manual and the applicable
health and safety regulations.
Store all safety notes and instructions in a safe
location for future reference.
The additionally attached "General Safety In-
structions" must be strictly complied with.
► This power tool is to be used for the purpose
of grinding. Comply with all safety notes, in-
structions, diagrams and other information
supplied with the device. Non-compliance
with the following instructions may result in
electrocution, fire and/or severe injury.
► This power tool is not suitable for: sand paper
grinding, tasks involving wire brushes, polish-
ing or cut-off grinding. Any use for which this
power tool is not intended may result in haz-
ards and injury.
► Do not use accessory that has not been specif-
ically designed for this power tool or has not
been recommended by the manufacturer. The
fact that you may be able to mount accessory
to the power tool does not mean that its safe
use is guaranteed.
► The permissible rotational speed of the tool
insert must be at least as high as the max.
speed stated on the power tool. Any accessory
that rotates at a higher speed that permissi-
ble, may break and fly off.
► The outer diameter of the tool insert must
match the measurements provided for your
power tool. Incorrectly dimensioned tool in-
serts can not be appropriately shielded or con-
trolled.
► Diamond cup wheels and flanges must fit ex-
actly onto the grinding spindle of your power
tool. Any tool inserts that do not fit exactly
onto the grinding spindle of your power tool
will rotate unevenly, will vibrate severely, and
may result in a loss of control over the power
tool.
► Never use damaged tool inserts. Check the
diamond cup wheel for cracks, wear or de-
formation before each use. After a fall, the
power tool or tool insert must be checked for
any damage; never work with damaged tools.
Once you have checked and inserted the tool
insert, ensure that you and other personnel
in the immediate vicinity remains outside the
reach of the rotating tool insert, while running
it at max. speed for one minute. Damaged or
faulty tool inserts will usually shear off during
this test phase.
► Wear your PPE (personal protection equip-
ment). Depending on tool application, wear
eye protection or protective goggles. Wear
a face mask, hearing protection, protective
gloves or a special apron to protect you from
small grinding or material particles as needed.
Protect your eyes from flying debris gener-
ated in various applications. The face mask or
respiratory protection used must be designed
for filtering the dust generated during tool ap-
plication. Prolonged exposure to extreme noise
levels may result in a loss of hearing.
► Ensure that other personnel in the vicinity
remain at a safe distance to your work area.
Any personnel entering the work area must
be wearing relevant PPE. Workpiece debris or
broken tool inserts may fly off and cause injury
outside the immediate work area.
► Only touch the power tool at its insulated grips
when carrying out tasks in which the tool in-
serts could compromise hidden power lines
or the power tool's own power cable. Contact
with a live line will conduct electricity through
the metal parts of the power tool and may re-
sult in electrocution.
► Keep the power cable away from rotating tool
inserts. Should you lose control of the power
tool, then the power cable could be cut or
snared, and your hand or arm could be drawn
into the rotating power tool.
► Never put the power tool down until the tool
insert has come to a complete standstill. The
rotating tool insert could come into contact
with the storage surface, which could result in
a loss of control over the power tool.
► Never activate the power tool while walking.
Your clothing could accidentally be snared by
the rotating tool insert and result in physical
injury.
► Clean the air vents of your power tool regular-
ly. The motor blower draws dust into the hous-
ing, and heavy concentration of metal dust may
cause electrical hazards.
► Do not operate the power tool in close proxim-
ity to flammable materials. Flying sparks could
result in the ignition of these materials.
► Do not use tool inserts that require liquid cool-
ant. The use of water or other liquid coolants
may result in electrocution.
► Only use the diamond cup disks certified for
use with your power tool and the protective
and extraction hood designed for the device.
