recommended for this electric
tool by the manufacturer. Simply
because an accessory can be attached
to your electric tool does not guarantee
safe operation.
• The allowable rotation speed of
the attachment tools must be at
least as high as the highest rota-
tion speed indicated on the elec-
tric tool. Accessories that run faster
than the allowable speed can break
and fly apart.
• The outside diameter and thick-
ness of the attachment tool must
correspond to the dimensions
indicated for your electric tool.
Attachment tools which are wrongly
dimensioned cannot be sufficiently
shielded or controlled.
• Attachment tools with threaded
attachment must fit the thread-
ing of the grinding spindle ex-
actly. For attachment tools which
are mounted through a flange,
the diameter of the hole in the
attachment tool must fit the
mounting diameter of the flange.
Attachment tools which cannot be pre-
cisely attached to the electric tool turn
unevenly, vibrate very strongly and can
ultimately lead to a loss of control.
• Never use damaged attachment
tools. Check attachment tools
such as grinding discs for chip-
ping or cracks, grinding plates
for cracks, wear or strong abra-
sion before using them. If the
electric tool or the attachment
tool falls off, check whether it is
damaged or use an undamaged
attachment tool. If you have
checked the attachment tool and
attached it, keep yourself and
any nearby persons beyond the
10
level of the rotating attachment
tool and allow the device to run
for 1 minute at the highest rota-
tional speed. Damaged tools usually
break during this test period.
• Wear personal safety equip-
ment. Depending on the applica-
tion, use full face shields, eye
protection or safety goggles. In
so far as it is appropriate, wear
dust masks, ear protection,
gloves or special aprons which
keep small grinding and mate-
rial particles away from you.
Eyes should be protected from the
foreign matter which can be caused to
fly during the various applications. Dust
or breathing masks should filter the dust
that is created during operation. If you
are exposed to loud noise for a long
time, you may suffer hearing loss.
• Ensure that other people are at
a safe distance to your working
area. Anyone who enters the
working area should wear per-
sonal protective equipment. Bro-
ken bits from the piece being worked
or broken attachment tools can fly
away and cause injuries even beyond
the direct working area.
• Keep the cord away from the
rotating attachment tool. If you
lose control of the device, the power
cord can become separated or caught
and your hand or arm may be pulled
into the rotating attachment tool.
• Never put the electric tool down
before the attachment tool has
come to a full stop. The rotating at-
tachment tool can come into contact with
the surface upon which it is set, whereby
you could lose control of the electric tool.
• Never allow the electric tool to
run while you are carrying it.
