Safety / Preparing for use
J
Check the electrical power tool for damage.
Before the electrical power tool is used any fur-
ther, carefully check the safety equipment or
any slightly damaged parts to see that they are
still working properly. Check that all moving
parts on the tool are working properly, can
move freely and are not damaged. All parts
must be correctly attached and fulfil all the
requirements necessary to allow the electrical
power tool to operate properly. Damaged
safety equipment and components should be
repaired or replaced at a competent electrical
equipment repair centre unless otherwise indi-
cated in the operating instructions. Damaged
switches must be replaced at a Customer Service
Centre. Never use an electrical power tool that
cannot be switched on and off properly.
Advice on structural engineering matters
Slots in load-bearing walls:

purposes, otherwise they could disintegrate, become
damaged or cause accidents.
Roughing discs
Never use cutting discs for
roughing or grinding!
J

Cutting discs
Never use roughing or grinding
discs for cutting!
m Danger! Always guide the
device through the workpiece
against the direction of rotation
of the disc. If you work in the
other direction there is the risk of kickback. The
device may be forced out of the cut.
Original accessories /
Q
attachments
J
Use only the accessories and attachments de-
tailed in the operating instructions. The use of
parts or accessories other than those recom-
mended in the operating instructions could
lead to you suffering an injury.
Preparing for use
Q
Take note of the mains voltage. The mains voltage
at the mains socket must match that shown on the
rating plate on the device. Devices marked with
230 V can also be operated at 220 V.
Attaching the disc guard cover
Q
using the quick-release fastener
J
Pull the mains plug out of the mains socket be-
fore you carry out any task on the device.
m Danger of injury! Always use the angle
grinder with the disc guard cover in place. The
disc guard cover must be securely attached to
the angle grinder. To ensure the highest level of
safety while using the device, ensure that the
smallest possible area of the grinding or cutting
tool is exposed to the operator at all times. The
disc guard cover is there to protect the operator
from pieces breaking off and accidental contact
with the grinding or cutting tool.
