Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
Safety instructions for abrasive cutting appliances
• 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.
• Use only diamond-coated cutting discs for your
power tool. Just because you can attach the acces-
sories to your power tool, does not ensure they are
safe to use.
• The maximum speed of the accessory tool used
must be at least as high as the maximum speed
specified for the power tool. Accessories which
rotate faster than the maximum permissible rate can
break and throw pieces into the air.
• Grinding tools should only be used for the re-
commended 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.
• Always use an undamaged clamping flange of
the correct size and shape for the selected grin-
ding disc. Suitable flanges support the grinding disc
and reduce the risk of disc breakage.
• The external diameter and thickness of the ac-
cessory tool used must comply with the dimen-
sions of your power tool. Incorrectly dimensioned
accessory tools cannot be sufficiently shielded or
controlled.
• Grinding discs and flanges must fit precisely
onto the grinding spindle of your power tool.
Accessory tools which do not fit precisely on the
grinding spindle of the power tool will rotate uneven-
ly, vibrate severely and can lead to a loss of control.
• 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 drop-
ped, check to see if it either are 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 mi-
nute. Damaged grinding discs usually break during
this test period.
• Wear personal protective equipment. Depending
on the application, ensure that you use full face
protection, eye protection or goggles. If requi-
red, 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
can suffer a hearing loss.
• Ensure that other people remain at a safe dis-
tance to your workspace. Anyone who enters
the workspace must wear personal protective
equipment. Fragments of the workpiece or broken
accessory tools can fly off and cause injury – even
outside the immediate working area.
• Hold power tool by the insulated gripping sur-
faces, when performing an operation where the
accessory tool may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. Contact with a „live" wire may make ex-
posed metal parts of the power tool „live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
• Keep the power cord away from any rotating ac-
cessories. If you lose control of the appliance, the
cord may get cut or caught and your hand or arm
could get caught in the rotating accessory tool.
• Never put the power tool down until the acces-
sory tool has come to a complete standstill. The
rotating accessory tool could come into contact with
the surface and cause you to lose control of the
power tool.
• Do not leave the power tool running whilst carry-
ing it. Accidental contact between your clothing and
the rotating accessory tool could cause your clothing
to get caught and the accessory tool to penetrate a
part of your body.
• Clean the ventilation slits of your power tool re-
gularly. The engine fan draws dust into the housing
and a strong accumulation of metal dust can cause
electrical hazards.
• Do not use the power tool in the vicinity of flam-
mable materials. Sparks can ignite such materials.
• Do not use any accessory tools which require
liquid coolant. The use of water or other liquid
coolants may lead to electric shock.

Kickback and corresponding safety instructions
Kickback - causes and corresponding safety instruc-
tions
• Kickback is a sudden reaction caused when a ro-
tating grinding disc catches or jams. Catching or
jamming causes the rotating accessory tool to stop
abruptly. If this happens, an uncontrolled power tool
turns rapidly against the direction of rotation of the
accessory tool caught in the blockage.
• If, for example, a grinding disc catches or jams, the
edge of the grinding disc that is projecting into the
workpiece can get caught and break off the grinding
disc or cause a kickback. The grinding disc can then
fly in the direction of the operator or away from him,
depending on the direction of rotation of the disc at
the blockage. This can also break grinding discs.
