• Grinding wheels must only be used for the work intended for
them. For example, never grind with the side surface of a cut-
off wheel. Cut-off wheels are designed to remove material with the
edge of the disc. The effect of lateral forces on these grinding wheels
may break them.
• Always use undamaged clamping flanges of the correct size
and shape for the selected grinding wheel. Proper flanges
support the grinding wheel and thus reduce the danger of the wheel
breaking. Flanges for cut-off wheels may differ from those for other
grinding wheels.
• Do not use used grinding wheels from larger power tools.
Grinding wheels for larger power tools are not designed for the
higher RPM that is a characteristic of smaller power tools and may
therefore break.
Additional special safety instructions for grinding wheel cutting
• Avoid jamming of the cutting disc or too much pressure. Do not
make excessively deep cuts. Overloading the cutting disc
increases the load on the blade and its tendency to jam or block and
thus the possibility of discarding or breaking.
• Avoid the area in front of and behind the rotating cutting disc.
Moving the cutting disc in the workpiece away from you may cause
the power tool to fly off with the rotating disc directly towards you in
the event of a kickback.
• In the event of a jammed cutting disc or a stoppage, switch off
the power tool and wait until the disc has come to a complete
stop. Never attempt to pull the still-moving disc out of the
cutting area, as this may cause recoil. The cause of the jam must
be detected and removed.
• Do not restart the power tool while it is in the material. The
cutting wheel should reach its full speed before continuing to
cut. Otherwise, the grinding wheel may catch, jump off the
workpiece or cause recoil.
• Plates or large objects should be supported before machining
to reduce the risk of kickback caused by a jammed disc. Large
workpieces may bend under their own weight. The workpiece should
be supported on both sides, both near the cutting line and at the
edge.
• Take special care when cutting holes in walls or operating in
other invisible areas. The cutting disc plunging into the material
may cause the tool to recoil if it encounters gas pipes, water pipes,
electrical cables or other objects.
Special safety instructions for sanding with sandpaper
• Do not use oversized sheets of sandpaper. When choosing the size
of the sandpaper, follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
Sanding paper protruding beyond the sanding plate can cause injury
and can also lead to the paper becoming blocked or torn, or to recoil.
Special safety instructions for polishing
• Do not allow the loose part of the polishing fur or its fastening cords
to rotate freely. Block or trim loose attachment cords. Loose and
rotating attachment cords can entangle fingers or catch on the
workpiece. Special safety instructions for working with wire brushes
• It should be taken into account that even with normal use, there is a
loss of pieces of wire through the brush. Do not overload the wires
by applying too much pressure. Airborne pieces of wire can easily
pierce through thin clothing and/or skin.
• If a guard is recommended, prevent the brush from coming into
contact with the guard. The diameter of plate and pot brushes can
increase through pressure and centrifugal forces.
Additional safety instructions
• On tools designed to accommodate tapped grinding wheels, check
that the length of the grinding wheel thread is appropriate to the
length of the spindle thread.
• The workpiece must be secured. Clamping the workpiece in a
clamping device or vise is safer than holding it in your hand.
• Do not touch the cutting and grinding discs before they have cooled
down.
• When using a quick-action flange, ensure that the inner flange
fitted to the spindle is fitted with a rubber O-ring and that this
ring is not damaged. Also ensure that the surfaces of the outer
flange and inner flange are clean.
• Use the quick-action flange only with abrasive and cutting
discs. Use only undamaged and properly functioning flanges.
• In the event of a temporary mains power failure or after removing
the plug from the power socket with the switch in the " on" position,
the switch must be unlocked and set to the off position before
restarting.
ATTENTION: The device is intended for indoor operation. Despite the
inherently safe design, the use of safety measures and additional
protective measures, there is always a risk of residual injury during
operation.

CONSTRUCTION AND APPLICATION
The angle grinder is a class II insulated hand-held power tool. The
machine is driven by a single-phase commutator motor, the speed of
which is reduced via a geared angle gear. It can be used for both
grinding and cutting. This type of power tool is widely used for removing
all types of burrs from the surface of metal parts, surface treatment of
welds, cutting through thin-walled pipes and small metal parts, etc.
With the appropriate accessories, the angle grinder can be used not
only for cutting and grinding but also for cleaning e.g. rust, paint
coatings, etc.
Its areas of use include a wide range of repair and construction work
not only related to metals. The angle grinder can also be used to cut
and grind building materials, e.g. brick, paving stones, ceramic tiles,
etc.
The appliance is designed for dry use only, not for polishing. Do not
misuse the power tool Misuse.
• Do not handle materials containing asbestos. Asbestos is
carcinogenic.
• Do not work with materials whose dusts are flammable or
explosive. When working with the power tool, sparks are generated
which may ignite the vapours emitted.
• Cut-off wheels must not be used for grinding work. Cut-off
wheels work with the side face and grinding with the front face of
such a wheel may cause damage to the wheel resulting in a risk of
personal injury to the operator.
