side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are
intended for peripheral grinding, side forces
applied to these wheels may cause them to
shatter.
c) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that
are of correct size and shape for your selected
wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel
thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from
grinding wheel flanges.
d) Do not use worn down wheels from larger
power tools. Wheels intended for larger power
tools are not suitable for the higher speed of a
smaller tool and may burst.
---------------------------------------------------------
Use elastic cushioning layers if they have been
supplied with the abrasive and if required.
Observe the specifications of the tool or accessory
manufacturer! Protect the discs from grease or
impacts!
Abrasives must be stored and handled with care in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
The tool must lay flat and be secured against slip-
ping, e.g. using clamps. Large workpieces must be
sufficiently supported.
For your own protection and for the
protection of your power tool pay
attention to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
Always wear protective goggles.
Do not grasp the rotating tool! Remove chips and
similar matter only with the machine at standstill.
Prior to use, ensure that the coated abrasive is
properly fitted and secured. Run the tool in idling
for 30 seconds in a safe position and bring to a
standstill immediately if there are significant vibra-
tions or if other deficiencies are determined. If
such a situation occurs, check the machine to
determine the cause.
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.
Endangered areas must be protected with flame-
resistant covers. Make sure that fire-risk areas are
always provided with suitable fire extinguishers.
Dust from material such as paint containing lead,
some wood species, minerals and metal may be
harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may
cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory
diseases to the operator or bystanders.
Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic
such as oak and beech dust especially in conjunc-
tion with additives for wood conditioning (chro-
mate, wood preservative). Material containing
asbestos must only be treated by specialists.

- Where the use of a dust extraction device is
possible it shall be used.
- The work place must be well ventilated.
- The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is
recommended.
Follow national requirements for the materials you
want to work with.
Materials that generate dusts or vapours that may
be harmful to health (e.g. asbestos) must not be
processed.
When working in dusty conditions, ensure that
ventilation openings are not blocked. If it becomes
necessary to remove dust, first disconnect the
power tool from the mains supply (use non-
metallic objects) and avoid damaging internal
components.
Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools must not be
used.
