appropriate, wear dust masks, ear
protection, gloves or special aprons
which keep small grinding and ma-
terial particles away from you. Eyes
should be protected from the foreign
matter which can be caused to fly dur-
ing 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 personal protec-
tive equipment. Broken bits from the
piece being worked or broken attach-
ment tools can fly away and cause in-
juries even beyond the direct working
area.
•
Hold the electric tool only by the
insulated gripping surfaces when
performing work in which the cut-
ting tool may come into contact
with hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a live wire can also cause
a charge in metal parts of the device
and result in an electric shock.
•
Keep the cord away from the rotat-
ing attachment tool. If you lose con-
trol 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 be-
fore the attachment tool has come
to a full stop. The rotating attachment
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. Your cloth-
ing may accidentally come into contact
with the rotating attachment tool and
get caught and the attachment tool
could drill into your body.
•
Clean the ventilation slots of your
electric tool routinely. The motor air
pulls dust into the housing and, should
too much metallic dust collect, could
cause electrical hazards.
•
Never use the electric tool near
flammable material. Sparks could
ignite this material.
•
Do not use attachment tools which
require liquid coolant. Using water
or another liquid coolant could lead to
electrical shock.
Additional safety instructions
•
Connect the appliance only to a power
socket with a residual current circuit
breaker of rated residual current no
more than 30 mA.
•
Keep power cords and extension
cords away from the disc. If they are
damaged or cut through, immediately
pull the plug from the outlet. Do not
touch the cable before it has been dis-
connected from the power supply. Risk
of electric shock!
•
If the replacement of the supply cord is
necessary, this has to be done by the
manufacturer or his agent in order to
avoid a safety hazard.
•
Only use grinding discs where the
indicated rotational speed is at least
as high as what has been specified on
the name plate of the device.
•
Carry out a visual inspection of the
grinding disc before use. Do not use
any damaged or deformed grinding
discs. Replace any damaged or worn
grinding discs.
•
Make sure that the sparks produced
by grinding do not present a danger,
