Regularly check the connection lead of the power
tool and have it repaired by an approved expert,
should it be damaged.
Regularly check extension cables and replace
them, should they be damaged.
Use only three-conductor cables.
Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil and
grease.
Do not use a low-power machine for demanding
jobs.
Adhere to the instructions for lubrication and tool
replacement.
Store the machine in a dry, high or secured place,
outside the reach of children.
When working in dusty conditions, ensure that
ventilation openings are not blocked. Should it be
necessary to remove the dust, first disconnect the
power tool from the mains.
In case of extreme dust deposits, the machine
cleaning cycles must be shortened and/or a
residual-current-operated circuit-breaker (RCCB)
must be connected upstream.
When the machine is shut down via the RCCB
circuit-breaker, it must be checked and cleaned.
Use only Type 1 cutting discs, recommended by
the manufacturer that comply with the
specifications of the respective safety standards
for grinding materials, e.g. ANSI B7.1 .
Caution! The use of other tools and accessories
can result in a risk of injury.
Cutting discs must be stored in accordance with
manufacturer specifications and handled carefully.
Store the cutting disc in a dry place. With cutting
discs for dry cuts, the strength may be reduced by
moisture or water.
Handle the cutting disc with caution. Protect the
cutting disc from jolts or impacts.
Always use equipment that fulfils the following
minimum requirements:
Only cutting discs with resinoid bonding and fibre
reinforcement can be used. The maximum rota-
tions per minute (rpm) of the cutting disc must not
be lower than the machine idling speed.
Adhere to the maximum cutting disc diameter (see
technical data).
Use no cutting discs that are thicker than
3 mm (3/32").
The borehole of the cutting disc must fit the tool-
holder without any clearance. Do not use adapters
or reducers.

Observe the specifications of the tool or accessory
manufacturer!
Adhere to the cutting disc instruction manual.
Be particularly cautious with the parts that are
connected to the cutting disc. Take care not to
damage the spindle, flange or screw. Damage to
these parts can cause the cutting disc to break.
Inspect the cutting disc before use. Do not use
chipped, cracked, brittle, noncircular, vibrating, or
otherwise damaged cutting discs.
It must be ensured that mounted cutting discs are
installed in accordance with the manufacturer
specifications.
Before use, make sure the cutting discs are
correctly fixed and fastened, and operate the
machine in idling mode for 30 s. Immediately
switch off the machine if strong vibrations or other
malfunctions occur. Should they occur, inspect
the machine to find the cause.
When the cutting disc is used up to the wear limit
(1/3 of the outer diameter), replace the cutting
disc.
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any
adjustments or servicing are performed.
The cutting disc continues to rotate after the
machine has been switched off.
Engage the spindle locking knob (8) only when the
motor is inoperative.
Do not touch the rotating cutting disc.
Danger of injury!
When the cutting disc vibrates too strongly in
idling mode, it can lead to breakage. In case of
irregularities during use, immediately switch off the
machine and have it repaired.
Secure the workpiece. Use the vice to secure the
workpiece.
Do not try to saw extremely small workpieces.
During machining, the workpiece must be firmly
supported and secured against moving.
Long workpieces must be sufficiently supported.
Begin cutting only after having reached the
max. rpm.
Use only the cutting edge of the cutting disc to cut.
Do not use the lateral surface of the cutting disc for
grinding jobs.
When working on workpieces with curves or
inclined surfaces, make sure that no lateral pres-
sure is applied to the cutting disc.
Ensure that sparks produced during work do not
constitute a risk to the user or other personnel and
are not able to ignite inflammable substances.
