tal contact with the grinding disk.
► Diamond cup disks must only be used for their
recommended applica琀椀ons. For example: Never
grind edges with a diamond cup disk. Diamond
cup disks are designed to grind o昀昀 material with
the underside of the diamond segments. Lateral
stresses on these grinding disks may cause them
to break.
► Only use undamaged clamping 昀氀anges in the cor-
rect size and shape for the diamond cup disk of
your choice. Appropriate 昀氀anges will support the
diamond cup disk and will therefore lower the risk
of breaking.
► Never use worn diamond cup disks of larger pow-
er tools. Diamond cup disks for larger power tools
are not designed for the higher rota琀椀onal speeds
of smaller power tools and can break.
Recoil and associated safety notes
► Recoil is the sudden reac琀椀on of a hooked or
blocked rota琀椀ng tool insert, e.g. grinding disk, cup
wheel, wire brush, etc. A hooking or blocking of the
insert will cause a sudden stop of the rota琀椀ng tool
insert. As a result, the power tool will be accelerat-
ed uncontrollably in the opposite direc琀椀on of the
rota琀椀ng tool insert at the loca琀椀on of the blockage.
If e.g. a grinding disk is hooked or blocked in-
side the workpiece, the edge of the grinding disk
submerged in the workpiece may get caught
and thus break the grinding disk or cause a re-
coil. The grinding disk will then move towards
the operator or away, depending on the rota-
琀椀onal direc琀椀on of the disk at the blockage loca-
琀椀on. This may cause the grinding disk to break.
A recoil is the result of incorrect or erroneous han-
dling of the power tool. Appropriate preven琀椀ve
measures - as described below - will help prevent
a recoil.
► Hold the power tool 昀椀rmly and posi琀椀on your
body and arms in such a way as to be able to com-
pensate any recoil. Always use the second handle
(where available) to ensure a 昀椀rm grip on the tool
and greatest possible control in the event of a re-
coil, and best possible reac琀椀on during the run-up
of the tool. The operator will be able to compen-
sate for the recoil force provided appropriate pre-
ven琀椀ve measures are taken.
► Never posi琀椀on your hand in close proximity of
rota琀椀ng tool inserts. A recoil could cause the tool
insert to move across your hand.
► Posi琀椀on your body away from the area into which
the power tool would move in case of a recoil.
A recoil will drive the power tool in the opposite
direc琀椀on of the movement of the grinding disk at
the blockage loca琀椀on.
► Work with par琀椀cular cau琀椀on in the area of cor-
ners, sharp edges, etc. Prevent the tool inserts
bouncing o昀昀 the workpiece or ge琀�ng stuck. The
rota琀椀ng tool insert is prone to ge琀�ng stuck at cor-
ners, sharp edges, or when it bounces o昀昀 a sur-
face. This could cause a loss of control or a recoil.
► Do not use chain disks or toothed disks. These
tool inserts o昀琀en create a recoil ac琀椀on or loss of
control over the power tool.

Additional safety instructions

► Wear protec琀椀ve goggles and hearing
protec琀椀on.
►
Do not touch the diamond cup disk un-
琀椀l it has cooled down. Diamond cup disks become
very hot during opera琀椀on.
► Use a dust extractor when grinding stone. The
dust extractor must be cer琀椀昀椀ed for stone dust
extrac琀椀on. The use of these devices reduces the
hazards of dust.
► Do not grind any materials or workpieces con-
taining asbestos.
► Grip the power tool 昀椀rmly with both hands while
working and ensure a safe and 昀椀rm stance. The
power tool must be held 昀椀rmly in both hands.
► Secure the workpiece. A workpiece held in a
clamping device or bench vise is be琀琀er secured
than when held by hand.
► Avoid any blockage of the diamond cup disk or
excessive contact pressure during grinding. Exces-
sive stresses on the grinding disk increases its load
and its vulnerability, i.e. it can easier get stuck or
blocked and the risk of recoil or breakage of the
grinding disk is increased.
► Switch o昀昀 the power tool if the diamond cup disk
gets blocked or you need to interrupt your work
for any reason. Hold the power tool steady un琀椀l
the disk has come to a complete stands琀椀ll.
► Do not switch the power tool back on while it is
in contact with the workpiece. Allow the grinding
disk to reach its full speed before recommencing
work.
► Only use the power tool with the protec琀椀ve hood
opened along wall edges. The protec琀椀ve hood
must always be closed when working on 昀氀at areas.
► Check the device, cable and plug before each use.
Any damage detected must only be repaired by
a cer琀椀昀椀ed electrician. Connect the wall plug only
with the machine switched o昀昀.
► When working outdoors, operate the machine
with a residual current operated circuit-breaker
(RCD) with max. 30 mA. If the grinder is shut down
via the RCD, it must be checked and cleaned.
► Pull the mains plug and check that the main
switch is in OFF posi琀椀on if you leave the machine
una琀琀ended, e.g. during installa琀椀on or removal
