• Wear personal safety equip-
ment. Depending on the ap-
plication, use full face shields,
eye protection or safety gog-
gles. In so far as it is appro-
priate, wear dust masks, ear
protection, gloves or special
aprons which keep small
grinding and material par-
ticles away from you. Eyes
should be protected from the
foreign matter which can
be caused to fly 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 protec-
tive 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 cord away from the
rotating attachment tool. If
you lose control of the device,
the power cord can become
separated or caught and your
hand or arm may be pulled
into the rotating attachment
tool.
• Never put the electric tool
down before the attachment
tool has come to a full stop.
The rotating attachment tool
can come into contact with the
surface upon which it is set,
88
whereby you could lose control
of the electric tool.
• Never allow the electric tool
to run while you are carrying
it. Your clothing may acciden-
tally come into contact with
the rotating attachment tool
and get caught and the at-
tachment tool could drill into
your body.
• Clean the ventilation slots of
your electric tool routinely.
The motor air pulls dust into
the housing and, should too
much metallic dust collect,
could cause electrical ha-
zards.
• Never use the electric
tool near flammable
material. Sparks could igni-
te this material.
• Do not use attachment tools
which require liquid coolant.
Using water or another liquid
coolant could lead to electri-
cal shock.
Additional safety
instructions
• Only use grinding discs whe-
re the indicated rotational
speed is at least as high as
what has been specified on
the name plate of the device.
• Carry out a visual inspection
of the grinding disc before use.
Do not use any damaged or
deformed grinding discs. Re-
place any damaged or worn
grinding discs.
• Make sure that the sparks
produced by grinding do not
present a danger, e.g. reach
