e) Support panels or any oversized work-
piece to minimize the risk of wheel pinch-
ing and kickback. Large workpieces tend
to sag under their own weight. Supports
must be placed under the workpiece near
the line of cut and near the edge of the
workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
f) Use extra caution when making a "pock-
et cut" into existing walls or other blind
areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas
or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects
that can cause kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding
Operations:
a) Do not use excessively oversized sand-
ing disc paper. Follow manufacturer's
recommendations,
sanding paper. Larger sanding paper ex-
tending beyond the sanding pad presents
a laceration hazard and may cause snag-
ging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire
Brushing Operations:
a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown
by the brush even during ordinary op-
eration. Do not overstress the wires by ap-
plying excessive load to the brush. The wire
bristles can easily penetrate light clothing
and/or skin.
b) If the use of a guard is recommended for
wire brushing, do not allow any interfer-
ence of the wire wheel or brush with the
guard. Wire wheel or brush may expand in
diameter due to work load and centrifugal
forces.

Operation
These power tools are supplied from single-
phase alternating current mains only. They
are double insulated according to EN 60745,
IEC 60745-1 and can be connected to grounded
or not grounded sockets. This power tool is ra-
dio suppressed in compliance with EMC Direc-
tive 2004/108/EC.
This power tool is designed for cutting, grinding
and brushing mainly metals without using wa-
ter.
PRIOR TO INITIAL OPERATION
▪ The machine may be delivered with the wheel
guard mounted at the factory. Ensure that the
wheel guard is mounted properly and fixed
reliably prior to the initial and any following
operation.
▪ The machine may be delivered with the wheel
mounted at the factory. Ensure that the wheel
is mounted properly and fixed reliably prior to
the initial and any following operation.
▪ Make sure the power supply voltage corre-
sponds to the value indicated on the name
plate with technical data of the tool.
▪ Always check the position of ON/OFF switch.
The power tool must be connected to the
power supply socket only when this switch is
in OFF position. If the plug is connected to
a receptacle while the power switch is in the
ON position, the power tool will start operat-
ing immediately, which could cause a serious
accident.
▪ Make sure that the cord and the plug are in
order. If the replacement of the supply cord is
necessary, this has to be done by the manu-
facturer or his agent in order to avoid a safety
hazard.
