Make sure that the user is protected from the
grinding disc as much as possible.
● Make sure that the workpiece is properly
supported or fixed.
● Wear safety goggles. Wear hearing protection.
Wear a dust mask. If necessary, use other
protective means, such as safety gloves,
safety shoes, etc. Risk of personal injury.
● Keep bystanders away from the work area.
Make sure that all persons in the work area wear
protective equipment. Risk of personal injury.
● Keep the mains cable away from the rotating
grinding disc. If the mains cable touches the
rotating grinding disc, your hands or arms may
come in contact with the grinding disc.
Risk of personal injury.
● Hold the machine by the insulated gripping
surfaces where the grinding disc may contact
hidden wiring or the mains cable. If the
grinding disc contacts a 'live' wire, the exposed
metal parts of the machine can also become
'live'. Risk of electric shock.
● Do not use the machine while carrying it at
your side. Risk of personal injury.
● Do not use the machine on workpieces requiring
a maximum grinding depth that exceeds the
maximum grinding depth of the grinding disc.
● Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Risk of electric shock.
● Do not use the machine near flammable
materials. Risk of fire.
● Do not work materials containing asbestos.
Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
● Do not work metal with a magnesium content
of more than 80%.
● Beware that the grinding disc continues to
rotate for a short period after switching off the
machine. Do not attempt to bring the grinding
disc to a standstill yourself.
● Never put the machine down on a table or
a workbench before it has been switched off.
● Regularly clean the ventilation slots.
Risk of electric shock.
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,
bound or twisted grinding disc, which causes the
machine to lift up and out of the workpiece
towards the user. If the grinding disc is pinched or
bound tightly by the cut, the grinding disc jams and
the machine is rapidly driven back towards the user.
If the grinding disc is twisted in the cut, the back
edge of the grinding disc can dig into the top
surface of the workpiece, which causes the
grinding disc to climb out of the cut and jump
6
back towards the user.
Kickback is the result of incorrect use of the
machine and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions. Kickback can be avoided by taking
proper precautions:
● Firmly hold the machine with both hands.
Position your arms to resist kickback forces.
Position your body to either side of the grinding
disc, but not in line with the grinding disc.
Kickback can cause the grinding disc to jump
backwards. If proper precautions are taken,
kickback forces can be controlled by the user.
● Be extra careful when using the machine on
corners, sharp edges, etc. Make sure that the
grinding disc does not become jammed.
Risk of kickback.
● If the grinding disc jams or if you interrupt a cut
for any reason, release the on/off switch and
hold the machine motionless in the material
until the grinding disc comes to a complete
standstill. Never attempt to remove the machine
from the workpiece or pull the machine
backward while the grinding disc is in motion.
Risk of kickback.
● Do not use blunt or damaged grinding discs.
Unsharpened or incorrectly mounted grinding
discs produce narrow cuts, which causes
excessive friction and kickback and increases
the risk of the grinding discs becoming jammed.
● Do not use toothed saw blades. Do not use
woodcarving blades for saw chains.
Risk of personal injury.
Electrical safety
3
Always check that the voltage of the
power supply corresponds to the voltage
on the rating plate.
● Do not use the machine if the mains cable or
the mains plug is damaged.
● Only use extension cables that are suitable for
the power rating of the machine with a minimum
thickness of 1.5 mm
cable reel, always fully unroll the cable.
Mains plug replacement (UK only)
If the moulded 3-pin plug attached to the unit is
damaged and needs replacing, it is important that
it is correctly destroyed and replaced by an
approved BS 1363/5A fused plug and that the
