Makesurethattheuserisprotectedfromthe
grinding disc as much as possible.
● Makesurethattheworkpieceisproperly
supportedorxed.
● 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ammable
materials.Riskofre.
● 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
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.

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
