Dust mask, half-face filter mask or
face mask respirator
Inhaling fine mineral dust can cause
health damage. We recommend wear-
ing a face mask respirator with filter
class P2 or P3 (to EN 149:2001).
Working with diamond dry-cutting
discs is a grinding process in which
extremely fine dust is produced. When
cutting materials containing quartz
there is a very high risk of silicosis; the
machine should therefore only be used
in conjunction with a suitable dust
extractor (e.g. a special BAIER dust
extractor).
Hearing protection
The typical A-weighted sound pres-
sure level of this power tool is over
85 dB (A) while working with the tool.
If you are exposed to loud noise for
lengthy periods, there is a risk of hear-
ing damage or even hearing loss.
Non-slip safety footwear
•
Ensure other people keep a safe distance
from your work area. Any person entering
the work area must be wearing personal
protective equipment.
Broken pieces of the workpiece or broken insert
tools can fly off and cause injuries, even outside
the immediate work area.
•
Hold the tool at the insulated gripping
surfaces only when carrying out work during
which the insert tool can hit concealed
electricity cables or the tool's own mains
power lead.
Contact with a live conductor can also energise
metal parts of the tool and cause an electric
shock.
•
Keep the mains power lead away from
rotating insert tools.
If you lose control of the tool, the mains power
lead can be cut or caught and your hand or arm
can be pulled into the rotating insert tool.

•
Never put down the power tool until the in-
sert tool has come to a complete standstill.
The rotating insert tool can come into contact
with the surface on which the power tool is
placed, which could cause you to lose control of
the power tool.
•
Do not leave the power tool running while
you are carrying it.
Your clothing can get caught by inadvertent
contact with the rotating insert tool and the
insert tool can drill into your body.
•
If the machine is switched on, do not direct
insert tools towards your own or other
people's bodies. Do not touch or take hold
of the tools.
2.6.5 Hazards when using and
handling the power tool
•
Use only diamond dry-cutting discs for your
power tool.
Just because you can attach the accessories
to your power tool is not a guarantee of safe use.
•
The approved speed of the insert tool must
be at least as high as the maximum speed
given on the power tool.
Accessories which rotate faster than approved
can break and fly off the tool.
•
Diamond dry-cutting discs may only be used
for their recommended use options. E.g.:
Never grind with the side (circular face) of a
diamond dry-cutting disc.
Diamond dry-cutting discs are intended for
removing material with the edge of the disc.
Lateral forces applied to these abrasive
products can cause them to break.
•
Change insert tools carefully and only use
the mounting tools provided, if they are in
perfect condition. Disconnect the mains
plug before changing the insert tool.
Use of the mounting tool provided prevents
damage to the power tool and insert tool.
•
Always use undamaged installation material
of the correct size for the diamond dry-
cutting disc chosen by you.
Suitable installation material supports the
diamond dry-cutting disc and therefore reduces
the risk of diamond dry-cutting disc breakage.
