mage or install undamaged bits and
cutters. After you have inspected and
installed the bits and cutters, keep your-
self and any other persons in the vicinity
away from the plane of the rotating bits
and cutters and run the device at ma-
ximum rotational speed for one minute.
Damaged bits and cutters usually break
during this test time.
h) Wear protective equipment. Depending
on the application, use full face protec-
tion, eye protection or protective gog-
gles. If appropriate, wear a dust mask,
hearing protection, protective gloves or a
special apron capable of stopping small
abrasive and material particles. The eyes
are to be protected from fl ying debris ge-
nerated during various operations. Dust
masks or respirators must fi lter the dust
generated during the operation. If you are
exposed to loud noise for a long time, you
may suffer hearing loss.
i) Keep other people at a safe distance
away from your work area. Anyone who
enters the working area must wear per-
sonal protective equipment. Fragments of
the work piece or broken bits and cutters
can fl y away and cause injuries even bey-
ond the immediate area of work.
j) Hold the device only by its insulated grip
surfaces if you perform work where the
bits and cutters could contact hidden
power cables or your own mains cable.
Contact with a live cable can energize metal
device parts and cause electric shock.
k) Keep the mains cable away from rota-
ting bits and cutters. If you lose control of
the device, the mains cable could be cut or
snagged, and your hand or your arm could
get pulled into the rotating bits and cutters.
l) Never set down the power tool until the bits
and cutters come to a complete stop. Tur-
ning bits and cutters grab the depositing sur-
face and pull the power tool out of your control.
m) Do not allow the power tool to run while you
are carrying it. Your clothing could get snagged
accidentally in the rotating bits and cutters,
causing the power tool to pierce your body.
n) Regularly clean the ventilation slits of
your power tool. The motor fan sucks dust
into the housing and a strong accumulation
of metal dust can cause electrical hazards.
o) Do not use the power tool in the vicinity
of combustible materials. Sparks could
ignite these materials.
p) Do not use bits and cutters that require
liquid coolants. The use of water or other
liquid coolants can cause electric shock.
Additional safety guidelines on grinding and
abrasive cutting
a) Special safety guidelines on grinding
and abrasive cutting:
b) Use only the grinding tools approved for
your power tool and the protective guard
designed for these grinding tools. Grin-
ding tools that are not designated for the
power tool cannot be adequately guarded
and are therefore unsafe.
c) The protective guard must be attached
securely to the power tool and adjusted
in such a way as to achieve maximum
safety, i.e. the smallest possible part of
the grinding tool is open to the operator.
The protective guard is meant to protect the
operator from fragments and accidental
contact with the grinding tool.
d) Grinding tools may only be used for the
recommended applications. For examp-
le: Never grind with the lateral surface of
a cutting disc. Cutting discs are intended
for removing material with the edge of the
disc. Lateral forces on these grinding tools
can shatter them.
e) Always use undamaged clamping fl an-
ges in the correct size and shape for
your selected sanding disc. Suitable fl an-
ges support the sanding disc and reduce the
danger of sanding disc breakage. Flanges
for cutting discs can differ from other san-
ding disc fl anges.
f) Do not use worn sanding discs from lar-
ger power tools. Sanding discs for larger
power tools are not designed for higher ro-
tational speeds of smaller power tools and
can shatter.
