5.1 Safety precautions for work
procedures comprising abrasive
cutting
Safety warnings for cutters
a) The protection cover supplied with the tool
must be securely attached to the electro-
mechanical tool and positioned for maxi-
mum safety purposes in such a way as to
leave only the smallest possible part of the
disc in the direction of the operator. The op-
erator as well as other persons standing in
the vicinity must position themselves so as
to keep the plane of the rotating disc free.
The protection cover helps to protect the opera-
tor against fragments of the disc material as well
against accidental contact with the disc.
b) This electromechanical tool is to be used
only with diamond cutting discs. The mere
fact that some accessories can be mounted to
the tool, does not guarantee its safe operation.
c) The nominal speed of the accessories must
be at least equal to the nominal speed that
is indicated on the electromechanical tool.
Accessories that are used with higher than their
nominal speeds may break or come apart.
d) Discs must be used for their recommended
use only. For example, it is not allowed to
perform grinding with the side-part of a
cutting disc. Abrasive cutting disc are intended
for circumferential grinding, and lateral forc-
es applied on these discs might result in their
break-up.

they decrease the possibility of disc break-up.
f) Outer diameter and thickness of the discs
must be within the limits of the nominal
diameter for the accessories of the electro-
mechanical tool. Discs of incorrect size cannot

not corresponding to the mounting dimensions
of the electromechanical tool will be unbalanced,
will produce excessive vibrations, and could
cause a loss of control over the tool.
h) Discs showing any signs of damage must
not be used. Before each use, the discs
must be checked for the presence of chips
or cracks. If the tool or disc falls down, it
will be necessary to check these for dam-
age, or mount an undamaged disc. After
checking and mounting a disc, the operator
as well as other persons standing in the
vicinity must position themselves so as to
keep the plane of the rotating disc free, and
the tool shall be kept idling with maximum

shield, integral protective goggles, or
safety goggles must be used. Further, a
dust protection mask, hearing protection,
gloves, and work apron able to stop small
fragments of abrasives or work-piece must
be used as appropriate. The eye protection
