Safety instructions for all
applications
Special safety instructions for grinding and
abrasive cutting:
a) This power tool is to be used as a grinder and
abrasive cutting appliance. Please follow all
safety instructions, instructions, diagrams and
data that you receive with the appliance.
If you do not observe the following instructions,
this can lead to an electrical shock, fire and/or
serious injuries.
b) This power tool is not suitable for sandpaper
sanding, working with a steel brush or bur-
nishing. Using the power tool for applications
for which it is not designed can lead to hazards
and injuries.
c) Do not use any accessories that have not been
specifically provided or recommended by the
manufacturer for this power tool. Just because
you can attach the accessories to your power
tool does not guarantee they are safe to use.
d) The maximum speed of the accessory tool
used must be at least as high as the maximum
speed specified for the power tool. Accessories
that rotate faster than the permissible rate can
break and throw pieces into the air.
e) The external diameter and thickness of the
accessory tool used must comply with the
dimensions of the power tool. Incorrectly
dimensioned accessory tools cannot be suffi-
ciently shielded or controlled.
f) Attachment tools with a thread insert must
match the thread of the grinding spindle ex-
actly. For attachment tools that are mounted
using a flange, the diameter of the hole on
the attachment tool must correspond to the
width of the fitment on the flange. Accessory
tools that cannot be fitted precisely onto the
power tool will rotate unevenly, vibrate severely
and can lead to a loss of control.
g) Never use damaged attachment parts. Check
accessory tools such as grinding discs before
each use for chips or cracks, grinding plates
for cracks, wearing or excessive wear and
tear and wire brushes for loose or broken
wires. If the power tool or the accessory tool

in use is dropped, check to see if it is dam-
aged or use an undamaged accessory tool.
When you have checked and inserted the
accessory tool, ensure that you and any other
people in the vicinity remain outside of the
level of the rotating accessory tool and allow
the tool to rotate at maximum speed for one
minute. Damaged accessories usually break
during the test period.
h) Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on the application, ensure that
you use full face protection, eye protection
or goggles. Use a dust mask, hearing pro-
tection, protective gloves or special apron to
protect yourself from grindings and material
particles as required. Protect your eyes from
flying debris that may be created during certain
applications. Dust or filter masks must be used
to filter any dust created by the application. If
you are exposed to loud noise for any length
of time, you may suffer hearing loss.
i) Ensure that other people remain at a safe
distance from your workspace. Anyone who
enters the workspace must wear personal
protective equipment.
Fragments of the workpiece or broken acces-
sory tools can fly off and cause injury – even
outside the immediate working area.
j) Hold the power tool only by the insulated
handles when you are carrying out work
in which the accessory tool may come into
contact with concealed power cables. Contact
with a live cable can also make metal parts of
the appliance live and could result in an electric
shock.
k) Keep the power cord away from any rotating
accessories. If you lose control of the appli-
ance, the cord may get caught or cut and your
hand or arm could get caught in the rotating
accessory tool.
l) Never put the power tool down until the
accessory tool being used has come to a
complete standstill. The rotating accessory
tool can come into contact with the surface and
cause you to lose control of the power tool.
