Supplementary safety instructions
for grinding and abrasive cutting
Special safety instructions for grinding and
abrasive cutting:
a) Use only the grinding accessories approved
for your power tool and only for the recom-
mended applications. 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 a
breakage.
b) Use only undamaged mandrels of the correct
size and length and without undercut on the
shoulder for conical and straight pencil grind-
ers. Using an appropriate mandrel reduces the
risk of breakages.
c) Avoid cutting disc jams or excessive contact
pressure. Do not make any excessively deep
cuts. Overloading the cutting disc increases the
stress and likelihood of tilting or blocking and
thus the possibility of a setback or a breakage
of the grinding tool.
d) Avoid putting your hand in the area in front
of or behind the rotating cutting disc. When
you move the cutting disc away from your hand,
it is possible, in the event of a kickback, that the
power tool along with the rotating disc could be
thrown out directly towards you along with the
rotating disc.
e) If the cutting disc jams or you stop working,
switch the tool off and hold it steady until the
disc has completely stopped turning. Never
attempt to pull a rotating cutting disc out of a
cut. This could lead to a kickback. Identify and
remove the cause of the jam.
f) Do not switch the power tool back on for
as long as it is in the workpiece. Allow the
cutting disc to reach its full speed before you
carefully continue the cut. Otherwise, the disc
may jam, jump out of the workpiece or cause
kickback.

g) Support panels or large workpieces to
reduce the risk of the cutting disc jamming
and causing a kickback. Large workpieces can
bend under their own weight. The workpiece
must be supported on both sides, namely in the
vicinity of the cut, and also at the edge.
h) Be particularly careful when making plunge
cuts into existing walls or other obscured ar-
eas. The inserted cutting disc may cut into gas
or water pipes, electrical wiring or other objects
that can cause kickback.
Supplementary safety instructions
for working with wire brushes
Special safety instructions for working with
wire brushes:
a) Be aware that the wire brush loses wire
bristles even during normal operation. Do not
overstress the wires by applying excessive
pressure to the brush. The wire bristles can
easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b) Allow the brush to run at working speed for
at least one minute before applying it to the
workpiece. Ensure that no one is standing in
front of or in line with the brush during this
time. Loose pieces of wire could fly off during
the run-in period.
c) Aim the rotating steel brush away from your-
self. When working with these brushes, small
particles and minute pieces of wire can fly off
at great speed and pierce skin.
