Safety instructions for abrasive
cutting appliances
a) The blade guard, which is a part of the power
tool, must be attached securely and set in a
way that ensures maximum safety, i.e. the
smallest possible amount of the grinding tool
is exposed to the operator. Ensure that you
and anyone else in the vicinity remain outside
of the range of the rotating grinding disc. The
blade guard is designed to protect the operator
from fragments and accidental contact with the
grinding tool.
b) Use only diamond-coated cutting discs for
your power tool. Just because you can attach
the accessories to your power tool, does not
ensure they are safe to use.
c) The permissible speed of the accessory tool
used must be at least as high as the maximum
speed specified for the power tool. Accesso-
ries that rotate faster than the permissible rate
can break and throw pieces into the air.
d) Grinding tools should only be used for the
recommended applications.
For example: Never grind with the side surface
of a cutting disc. Cutting discs are designed to
remove material with the edge of the disc. Any
lateral application of force on these grinding
tools can lead to breakage.
PTS 500 B2
e) Always use an undamaged clamping flange
of the correct size and shape for the selected
grinding disc. Suitable flanges support the
grinding disc and reduce the risk of disc break-
age.
f) Do not use worn grinding discs from larger
power tools. Grinding discs for larger power
tools are not designed for the higher rotational
speeds of smaller power tools and can break.
g) The external diameter and thickness of the
accessory tool used must comply with the
dimensions of your power tool. Incorrectly
dimensioned accessory tools cannot be suffi-
ciently shielded or controlled.
h) Grinding discs and flanges must fit precisely
onto the grinding spindle of your power tool.
Accessory tools which do not precisely fit on
the grinding spindle of the power tool will rotate
unevenly, vibrate severely and can lead to a
loss of control.
i) Do not use damaged grinding discs. Check
the grinding discs before each use for chips
and cracks. If the power tool or grinding disc
is dropped, check to see if it is damaged,
or use an undamaged grinding disc. After
checking and inserting the grinding disc,
ensure that you and any other people in the
vicinity remain outside of the range of the
rotating grinding disc, and allow the tool to
rotate at maximum speed for one minute.
Damaged grinding discs usually break during
this test period.
j) Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on the application, ensure that
you use full face protection, eye protection
or goggles. If required, use a dust mask, ear
protectors, protective gloves or special apron
to protect you from grindings and material
particles. Eyes should be protected from flying
debris that may be generated during certain
applications. Dust or filter masks must filter
any dust created by the application. If you are
exposed to loud noise for any length of time,
you may suffer hearing loss.
