a Use only grinding tools expressly
permitted for use with your
electrical tool and the appropriate
protective hood for these grinding
tools. Grinding tools which are not
designed for use with the electrical
tool cannot be properly shielded and
are unsafe.
b The protective hood must be affixed
securely to the electrical tool and set
in such a way that it ensures the
maximum level of safety possible,
i.e. the smallest possible area of the
grinding tool is exposed to the
operator. The protective hood should
protect the operator from broken
pieces and accidental contact with the
grinding tool.
c Grinding tools may only be used for
the recommended applications. For
example: Never sand using the side
surface of a cutting wheel. Cutting
wheels are designed to remove
material with the edge of the disc.
Lateral forces working on these
grinding tools may break them.
d Always use undamaged tensioning
flanges in the correct size and
shape for the sanding disc you
have selected. Suitable flanges
support the sanding disc and thus
reduce the danger of the disc
breaking. Flanges for cutting wheels
may differ from flanges for other
sanding discs.
e Do not use worn sanding discs from
larger electrical tools. Sanding discs
for larger electrical tools are not
designed to handle the higher
revolutions of smaller tools and may
break.
Additional safety notes with regard to
abrasive cutting:
a Avoid blocking the cutting wheel or
employing too great a pressure. Do
not execute any excessively deep
cuts. Overloading the cutting wheel
increases the wear and the tendency to
tilt or block and thus the possibility of
kick back or breaking of the grinding
tool.
b Avoid the area in front and behind
the rotating cutting wheel. If you
move the cutting wheel away from you
within the tool, in the event of the
electrical tool kicking back, the turning
wheel may be thrown in your direction.
c If the cutting wheel blocks or you
stop working, switch the unit off
and hold it still until the wheel has
come to a standstill. Never attempt
to pull a running cutting wheel out
of the cut, this may cause kick
back. Work out and eliminate the
cause of the blockage.
d Do not switch the electrical tool
back on with it still in the
workpiece. Wait until the cutting
wheel has reached the full
revolutions before you carefully
continue with the cut. Otherwise the
wheel may get caught, jump out of
the workpiece or cause kick back.
e Support boards or large workpieces
to reduce the risk of kickback caused
by a jammed cutting wheel. Large
workpieces may bend under their own
weight. The workpiece should be
supported on both sides, both in the
vicinity of the cut and at the edge.
f Be particularly careful when carrying
out a "plunge cut" into an existing
wall or an area you can't see into.
The plunging cutting wheel may hit gas
or water pipes, electrical cables or
other objects and cause kick back.
