jammed cutting disc. Large workpieces may
bend under their own weight. The workpiece
must be supported to both sides of the cutting
disc and particularly near the cutting disc and
at the workpiece edge.
f) Be particularly careful when pocket cutting in
existing walls or other areas where you can-
not see what you are cutting into. The cutting
disc plunged into the surface could cut through
gas or water pipes, electricity cables or other
objects and cause kickback.
Special safety advice for
abrading using sandpaper
■ Do not use over-sized sanding sheets. Follow
the manufacturer's recommendations for
sanding sheet size. Sanding sheets that project
beyond the backing pad could cause injury
in addition to jamming, tearing of the sheet or
kickback.

Special safety advice for polishing

■ Do not use the polishing bonnet if it has
any loose parts, in particular the fastening
cords. Tuck the fastening cords away or trim
them. Loose fastening cords rotating with the
attachment could catch your fi ngers or become
trapped in the workpiece.
Special safety advice for working with
wire brushes
a) Bear in mind that wire brushes lose pieces of
wire during normal use. Do not overload the
wires by applying too much pressure. Flying
pieces of wire can very easily penetrate thin
clothing and / or skin.
b) Use a guard, if recommended, but make
sure that the wire brush does not come into
contact with the guard. The diameters of disc
brushes and cup brushes can increase due to
contact pressure and centripetal forces.

Safety advice for angle grinders

■ DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Do not
operate the device if the mains lead or mains
plug is damaged.
■
DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Do not
touch the mains lead if it becomes damaged
or cut through while you are using the device.
PWS 230 A1
Pull the plug out of the mains socket immediate-
ly and have the device repaired by a suitably
qualifi ed person or at your service centre.
■ DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Do not oper-
ate the device if it is damp and do not use it in a
damp environment.
■ DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! If you
use the device outdoors, always connect it
through a residual current device (RCD) with
a maximum trip current of 30 mA. If using an
extension lead, always use one that is approved
for outdoor use.
■ Do not suspend or carry the device by the
mains lead. Always work with the mains lead
leading away from the rear of the device.
Otherwise the device could be damaged.
■ Grinding discs must be carefully kept and han-
dled in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions. Otherwise they could be damaged.
■ Make sure that abrasive consumables and tools
are attached in accordance with the manufac-
turer's instructions and advice. Otherwise they
could become detached from the device and
result in injury and / or damage to property.
■ Ensure that any spacers supplied and
required for the use of certain abrasive con-
sumables and tools are installed.
■ Do not use separate reducing bushes or
adapters in order to make grinding discs with
a larger bore fi t.
■ When using abrasive consumables and tools
with a threaded insert make sure that the
tread is long enough for the spindle length.
Otherwise the grinding discs could become
detached from the device and result in injury
and / or damage to property.
■ Do not allow the end of the spindle to contact the
base of the hole in the abrasive consumable.
■
Do not work in areas where there may be
concealed electricity cables or gas or water
pipes. Use a suitable detector or ask your
local utility service providers. Contact with
electricity cables can lead to fi re or electric
shock. Damaging a gas pipe can lead to an
explosion. Penetration of a water pipe can lead
to property damage or to electric shock.
