plane of the rotating disk. The
protective guard is designed to protect
the operator from flying debris and
accidental contact with the abrasive
surface.
• Grinders may only be used for
the recommended attachment
options. For example: Never
grind using the side surfaces of
the grinding discs. Grinding using
the side surfaces can cause the grind-
ing disc to burst and fly apart.
• Always use undamaged clamp-
ing flanges of the correct size
and shape for the grinding disc
you selected. Suitable flanges sup-
port the grinding disc and thus reduce
the danger of the grinding disc break-
ing.
• The outside diameter and thick-
ness of the attachment tool must
correspond to the dimensions
indicated for your power tool.
Attachment tools which are wrongly
dimensioned cannot be sufficiently
shielded or controlled.
• The grinding discs and flanges
must fit the grinding spindle of
your power tool precisely. Disks
that do not fit the grinding spindle pre-
cisely rotate unevenly, vibrate sharply
and can lead to loss of control.
• Wear personal protective equip-
ment. Depending on the appli-
cation, 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.
Eye protection must be worn to protect
against foreign matter flying around
26
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 connection cable away
from the rotating attachment
tool. If you lose control of the device,
the connection cable can become sepa-
rated or caught and your hand or arm
may be pulled into the rotating attach-
ment tool.
• Clean the ventilation slits of
your power tool routinely. The
motor air pulls dust into the housing
and, should too much metallic dust col-
lect, could cause electrical hazards.
• Never use the power tool near
flammable material. Never use
the power tool when it is stand-
ing on a flammable surface such
as wood. Sparks could ignite this
material.
• Do not use attachment tools
which require liquid coolant.
Using water or another coolant could
lead to electrical shock.
• Keep the mains cable and extension
cable away from the grinding disc. In
the event that it is damaged or severed,
immediately disconnect the plug from
the socket.
Do not touch the cable before it has
been disconnected from the mains. Risk
of electric shock.
