Special safety instructions for
grinding and cutting
a) Use only grinders which have been
approved for your electric tool and the
protective hood intended for these grin-
ders. Grinders which are not intended
for the electric tool may not be suffici-
ently shielded and are unsafe.
b) The protective hood must be securely
attached to the electric tool and adjus-
ted so that the greatest level of safety
is reached, i.e., the smallest possible
amount of the grinder is exposed to the
operator. The protective hood should
protect the operator from broken bits
and accidental contact with the grinder.
c) Grinders may only be used for the
recommended attachment options. For
example: Never grind with the side
surface of a cutting disc. Cutting discs
are for cutting material using the edge
of the disc. Pushing sideways on these
grinders can break them.
d) Always use undamaged clamping flan-
ges of the correct size and shape for
the grinding disc you selected. Suitable
flanges support the grinding disc and
thus reduce the danger of the grinding
disc breaking. Flanges for cutting discs
can be distinguished from flanges for
other grinding discs.
e) Do not use worn grinding discs for
larger electric tools. Grinding discs for
larger electric tools are not set up for
the higher rotation speeds of smaller
electric tools and can break.

Other special safety instructions
for cutting grinding
a) Avoid blocking the cutting disc or pres-
sing down too hard. Do not make any
excessively deep cuts. Overloading the
cutting disc increases wear and its ten-
dency to tilt or block and, with that, to
kickback or break the grinder.
b) Avoid the area in front of and behind
the rotating cutting disc. When you
move the cutting disc by itself in the
workpiece, in the event that the electric
tool kicks back with the rotating disc, it
can spin directly towards you.
c) If the cutting disc jams, or you interrupt
your work, switch the device off and
hold it until the disc has come to a full
stop. Never try to pull the cutting disc
out of the cut while it is still running,
because it can kick back. Identify and
correct the cause of the jamming.
d) Do not switch the electric tool on again
as long as it is in the workpiece. Allow
the cutting disc to first reach its full
rotational speed before you carefully
resume with the cutting. Otherwise, the
disc may catch, spring away from the
workpiece or cause a kickback.
e) Support plates or workpieces to reduce
the risk of kickback from a jammed cut-
ting disc. Large workpieces may bend
under their own weight. The workpiece
must be supported on both sides of the
disc, near the cutting disc as well as
also at the edge.
f) Be particularly careful for pocket cuts in
existing walls or other areas where you
cannot see what is there. The cutting
disc may cause a kickback when it cuts
into gas or water lines, electrical lines
or other hidden objects.
