tached and be adjusted in such a way that the highest possi-
ble degree of safety is achieved, e. G. the smallest possible
part of the spinning attachment pointing to the operator is
free. The safety hood is intended to protect the operator from
flying debris, fragments of a fractured disc and accidental
contact with the attachment.
 Use only discs intended for your electric tool and the safety
hood intended for these discs. Discs not intended for the
electric tool cannot be covered in a suitable way and are
unsafe.
 Use discs only for the purpose they are intended for by the
manufacturer. Never use the side of a cutting disc for grind-
ing. Cutting discs are intended for cutting only. Lateral forces
may cause fracture.
 Always use undamaged flanges of the correct size and shape
for your cutting disc. The correct flanges support the disc and
reduce the risk of a disc fracture. Flanges for cutting discs can
differ from those for grinding discs.
 Do not use worn-down discs from larger electric tools, these
are not intended for the fast speeds of smaller electric tools
and may fracture.
 Avoid blocking the disc and do not use excessive pressure.
Do not attempt excessively deep cuts. Excessive loads on the
cutting disc increase the stress and make it more prone to
jamming or blocking and increase the risk of kickback of
fracture.
 Avoid the area directly in front or behind the spinning discs. If
the cutting part of the disc is moving away from you, the
electric tool with the spinning disc can be thrown back at you
in the case of a kickback.
 If the disc becomes stuck or locked in the workpiece or you
intend to interrupt your work, turn off the electric tool and hold
it tightly until the disc has come to a complete standstill. Never
