ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ABRA-
SIVE CUTTING APPLICATIONS
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ABRASIVE CUT-
TING MACHINES
a) The protective cover belonging to the electric
tool must be securely attached and adjusted so
that the highest degree of safety is achieved,
i.e. the smallest possible part of the grinding
wheel is revealed to the operator. Keep your-
self and people nearby out of range of the ro-
tating grinding disc. The protective hood is in-
tended to protect the operator from fragments and
accidental contact with the grinding wheel.
b) Only use attached,
mond-tipped cutting wheels for your electric
tool. Just because the accessory can be attached
to your power tool, it does not assure safe oper-
ation.
c) The rated speed of the accessory must be at
least equal to the maximum speed marked on
the power tool. Accessories that rotate faster
than permitted can break and fly off at high speed.
d) Grinding bodies may only be used for the rec-
ommended applications. For example: Never
grind on the side surfaces of a cutting wheel.
Cutting wheels are designed to remove material
with the edge of the disc. Lateral forces on this
grinding body can break it.
e) Always use undamaged clamping flanges of
the correct size and shape for the grinding
disc selected by you. Suitable flanges support
the grinding disc and reduce the danger of the
grinding disc breaking.
f) Do not use worn grinding discs from large
electric tools. Grinding discs for larger electrics
tools are not designed for the higher speeds of
smaller electric tools and can break.
g) The outside diameter and the thickness of
your accessory must be within the capacity
rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized
accessories cannot be adequately guarded or
controlled.
h) Grinding discs and flanges must fit exactly on
your electrical tool's grinding spindle. Inser-
tion tools that do not fit exactly on your elec-
trical tool's grinding spindle rotate unevenly,
vibrate very strongly and can cause a loss of
control.

i) Do not use damaged grinding discs. Check
the grinding discs for chipping and cracks be-
fore each use. If the electric tool or grinding
disc falls, check whether it is damaged, or use
an undamaged grinding disc. Once you have
checked and used the grinding disc, ensure
that you and all other persons in the vicin-
ity remain outside the plane of the rotating
grinding disc and allow the device to run for
one minute at the maximum speed. Damaged
grinding discs usually break during this test
period.
j) Wear personal protective equipment. Depend-
ing on application, use face shield, safety
goggles or safety glasses. Where appropriate,
wear a dust mask, hearing protection, protec-
tive gloves or a special apron that will keep
small grinding and material particles away
from you. The eye protection must be capable of
stopping flying debris generated by various opera-
tions. Dust or breathing masks must filter the dust
generated during use. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
k) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory
may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate
area of operation.
l) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfac-
es only, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden wir-
ing or its own cord. Contact with a live power line
can also electrify metal device parts and lead to
an electric shock.
m) Position the cord clear of the spinning acces-
sory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or
snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into
the spinning accessory.
n) Never lay the power tool down until the acces-
sory has come to a complete stop. The spinning
accessory may grab the surface and pull the pow-
er tool out of your control.
o) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at
your side. Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.
p) Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The
motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing
and excessive accumulation of powdered metal
may cause electrical hazards.
