the plane of the rotating attachment tool and allow the device to run for 1 min. at the highest rotational speed.
Damaged tools usually break during this test period.
• The allowable rotation speed of the attachment tools must be at least as high as the highest rotation speed
indicated on the power tool. Accessories that run faster than the allowable speed can break and fly apart.
• Ensure that you and all persons in the vicinity keep out of the plane of the rotating disk. The protective guard is
designed to protect the operator from flying debris and accidental contact with the abrasive surface.
• Grinders may only be used for the recommended attachment options. For example: Never grind using the side
surfaces of the grinding discs. Grinding using the side surfaces can cause the grinding disc to burst and fly apart.
• Always use undamaged clamping flanges of the correct size and shape for the grinding disc you selected. Suitable
flanges support the grinding disc and thus reduce the danger of the grinding disc breaking.
• The outside diameter and thickness of the attachment tool must correspond to the dimensions indicated for your
power tool. Attachment tools which are wrongly dimensioned cannot be sufficiently shielded or controlled.
• The grinding discs and flanges must fit the grinding spindle of your power tool precisely. Disks that do not fit the
grinding spindle precisely rotate unevenly, vibrate sharply and can lead to loss of control.
• Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on the application, use full face shields, eye protection or safety
goggles. In so far as it is appropriate, wear dust masks, ear protection, gloves or special aprons which keep small
grinding and material particles away from you. Eye protection must be worn to protect against foreign matter
flying around during the various applications. Dust or breathing masks should filter the dust that is created during
operation. If you are exposed to loud noise for a long time, you may suffer hearing loss.
• Ensure that other people are at a safe distance to your working area. Anyone who enters the working area should
wear personal protective equipment. Broken bits from the piece being worked or broken attachment tools can fly
away and cause injuries even beyond the direct working area.
• Keep the connection cable away from the rotating attachment tool. If you lose control of the device, the connection
cable can become separated or caught and your hand or arm may be pulled into the rotating attachment tool.
• Clean the ventilation slits of your power tool routinely. The motor air pulls dust into the housing and, should too
much metallic dust collect, could cause electrical hazards.
• Never use the power tool near flammable material. Never use the power tool when it is standing on a flammable
surface such as wood. Sparks could ignite this material.
• Do not use attachment tools which require liquid coolant. Using water or another coolant could lead to
electrical shock.
• Keep the mains cable and extension cable away from the grinding disc. In the event that it is damaged or severed,
immediately disconnect the plug from the socket. Do not touch the cable before it has been disconnected from the
mains. Risk of electric shock. The replacement of the plug or the connection line must always be executed by the
manufacturer of the electric tool or his/her customer service in order to avoid any hazards.
