• Unlock the on/off switch and move it to the off
position if the power supply is interrupted, e.g.
by a power failure or unplugging the mains plug.
This prevents an uncontrolled restart.
• Only use the electric tool for dry grinding. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
• Only run the electric tool against the workpiece
when it is switched on and only switch it off after
you have lifted it off the workpiece. The electric
tool may move suddenly.
• Make sure that no persons are endangered by
flying sparks. Remove combustible materials
from the vicinity. When grinding metals, flying
sparks occur.
• Do not use worn, torn or heavily clogged grind-
ing tools. Damaged grinding tools can tear, be
thrown away and injure someone.
• Do not use cutting or grinding discs or cup
brushes. The electric tool is not suitable for use with
these insert tools. There is a danger of injury!
• Always use the supplied suction hose and a
suitable dust extraction unit when operating the
electric tool. Using a dust extraction unit can re-
duce hazards caused by dust.
• Attention: Risk of fire! Avoid overheating the
grinding material and the grinder. Always empty
the dust tank before work breaks. Grinding dust
in the dust bag, microfilter, paper bag (or in the filter
bag or filter of the vacuum cleaner) can self-ignite
under unfavourable conditions, such as flying sparks
when grinding metals.
There is a particular danger if the grinding dust is
mixed with paint, polyurethane residues or other
chemical substances and the sanding material is hot
after working for a long time.
• Hold the electrical tool firmly with both hands
and ensure firm footing. It is safer to guide the
electrical tool with two hands.
• Wear hearing protection, safety goggles, dust
mask and gloves if necessary. Use at least a
particle filtering half mask of class FFP 2 as a
dust mask.
• Use a dust extraction unit when machining
stone. The vacuum cleaner must be permitted to
extract stone dust. The use of these devices re-
duces dust hazards.

• Do not touch insert tools until they have cooled
down. The insert tools become very hot when work-
ing.
• Wear protective gloves when changing the in-
sert tools. Insert tools become warm during pro-
longed use.
• Do not machine materials that release hazard-
ous substances, e.g. beech wood or oak wood
dust, rock dust or asbestos. These substances
are considered carcinogenic.
• Inform yourself about the valid regulations/laws
regarding the handling of dusts hazardous to
health in your country.
• Never touch the grinding tool when it is running.
There is a danger of injury.
• If necessary, use scaffolding to work on. When
working on a ladder, it is not possible for you to have
a firm footing.
Warning! This power tool generates an electromagnetic
field during operation. This field can impair active or
passive medical implants under certain conditions. In
order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries,
we recommend that persons with medical implants
consult with their physician and the manufacturer of
the medical implant prior to operating the power tool.
8. Residual risks
The machine has been built according to the state-of-
the-art and the recognised technical safety require-
ments. However, individual residual risks can arise
during operation.
• Health hazard due to electrical power, with the use
of improper electrical connection cables.
• Furthermore, despite all precautions having been
met, some non-obvious residual risks may still re-
main.
• Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety infor-
mation" and the "Proper use" together with the oper-
ating manual as a whole are observed.
• Avoid accidental starting of the machine: the oper-
ating button may not be pressed when inserting the
plug in an outlet.
• Keep your hands away from the work area, when the
machine is in operation.
