Working safely with this machine
is possible only when the operat-
ing and safety information are
read completely and the instruc-
tions contained therein are
strictly followed. In addition, the
general safety instructions in the
enclosed booklet must be fol-
lowed. Before using for the first
time, ask for a practical demon-
stration.
If the mains cable is damaged or cut
through while working, do not touch
the cable but immediately pull the
mains plug. Never use the machine
with a damaged cable.
Wear protective glasses and ear
protection.
Wear protective gloves and sturdy
shoes.
When necessary, also wear an
apron.
■ Never allow children to use the machine.
■ When working with the machine, always hold it
firmly with both hands and provide for a secure
stance.
■ Always direct the cable to the rear away from
the machine.
■ Connect machines that are used in the open
via a residual current device (RCD) with an ac-
tuating current of 30 mA maximum. Use only
extension cables that are approved for outdoor
use.
■ Always switch off the machine and allow to
come to a stop before placing it down.
■ Insert the mains plug only when the machine is
switched off.
■ For mains failure or when the main plug is
pulled, unlock the On/Off switch immediately
and turn it to the Off position. This prevents un-
controlled restarting.
■ The machine must be used only for dry cutting/
grinding.
■ For all work with the machine, the auxiliary
handle 4 must be mounted.
■ For work with roughing or cutting discs, the
protective guard 8 must be mounted. For work
with the rubber sanding plate 14 or with the cup
brush 17/disc brush/flap disc, mounting the
hand protector 13 (optional extra) is recom-
mended.
■ Use a vacuum cleaner for drawing off the dust
when working with stone and wear a dust
mask. The vacuum cleaner must be approved
for masonry dust. When cutting stone, use the
cutting guide.
■ Do not work with materials containing asbes-
tos.
■ Use only grinding tools with a permissible
speed at least as high as the no-load speed of
the machine.
■ Check grinding tools before use. The grinding
tool must be properly mounted and turn freely.
Perform a test run for at least 30 seconds with-
out load. Do not use damaged, out-of-round or
vibrating grinding tools.
■ Protect the grinding tool from impact, shock
and grease.
■ Apply the machine to the workpiece only when
switched on.
■ Keep hands away from rotating grinding tools.
■ Pay attention to the direction of rotation. Al-
ways hold the machine so that sparks and
grinding dust fly away from the body.
■ When grinding metal, flying sparks are pro-
duced. Take care that no persons are endan-
gered. Due to danger of fire, no combustible
materials should be located in the vicinity
(spark flight zone).
■ Be careful when cutting grooves, e. g. in load-
carrying walls: See information on structures.
■ Be careful of hidden electrical lines or gas and
water pipes. Check the working area, e. g. with
a metal detector.
■ Blocking the cutting disc leads to jerking reac-
tion forces on the machine. In this case switch
off the machine immediately.
■ Pay attention to the dimensions of the grinding
disc. The mounting hole diameter must fit the
mounting flange 9 without play. Do not use re-
ducer pieces or adapters.
■ Never use cutting discs for rough grinding. Do
not exert any lateral pressure on the cutting
discs.
■ Observe the manufacturer’s instructions for
mounting and using grinding tools.
