For Your Safety

Working safely with this machine
is possible only when the operat-
ing and safety information are
read completely and the instruc-
tions contained
strictly followed. In addition, the
general safety instructions in the
enclosed booklet must be fol-
lowed. Before using for the first
time, ask for a practical demon-
stration.
If the mains cable is damaged or cut
through while working, do not touch
the cable but immediately pull the
mains plug. Never use the machine
with a damaged cable.
Wear protective glasses and ear
protection.
Wear protective gloves and sturdy
shoes.
When necessary, also wear an
apron.
Never allow children to use the machine.
When working with the machine, always hold it
firmly with both hands and provide for a secure
stance.
Always direct the cable to the rear away from
the machine.
Connect machines that are used in the open
via a residual current device (RCD) with an ac-
tuating current of 30 mA maximum. Use only
extension cables that are approved for outdoor
use.
Always switch off the machine and allow to
come to a stop before placing it down.
Insert the mains plug only when the machine is
switched off.
For mains failure or when the main plug is
pulled, unlock the On/Off switch immediately
and turn it to the Off position. This prevents un-
controlled restarting.
The machine must be used only for dry cutting/
grinding.
For all work with the machine, the auxiliary
handle 4 must be mounted.

For work with roughing or cutting discs, the
protective guard 8 must be mounted. For work
with the rubber sanding plate 14 or with the cup
brush 17/disc brush/flap disc, mounting the
hand protector 13 (optional extra) is recom-
mended.
Use a vacuum cleaner for drawing off the dust
when working with stone and wear a dust
mask. The vacuum cleaner must be approved
for masonry dust. When cutting stone, use the
cutting guide.
Do not work with materials containing asbes-
tos.
Use only grinding tools with a permissible
speed at least as high as the no-load speed of
the machine.
Check grinding tools before use. The grinding
tool must be properly mounted and turn freely.
Perform a test run for at least 30 seconds with-
out load. Do not use damaged, out-of-round or
vibrating grinding tools.
Protect the grinding tool from impact, shock
and grease.
Apply the machine to the workpiece only when
switched on.
Keep hands away from rotating grinding tools.
Pay attention to the direction of rotation. Al-
ways hold the machine so that sparks and
grinding dust fly away from the body.
When grinding metal, flying sparks are pro-
duced. Take care that no persons are endan-
gered. Due to danger of fire, no combustible
materials should be located in the vicinity
(spark flight zone).
Be careful when cutting grooves, e. g. in load-
carrying walls: See information on structures.
Be careful of hidden electrical lines or gas and
water pipes. Check the working area, e. g. with
a metal detector.
Blocking the cutting disc leads to jerking reac-
tion forces on the machine. In this case switch
off the machine immediately.
Pay attention to the dimensions of the grinding
disc. The mounting hole diameter must fit the
mounting flange 9 without play. Do not use re-
ducer pieces or adapters.
Never use cutting discs for rough grinding. Do
not exert any lateral pressure on the cutting
discs.
Observe the manufacturer's instructions for
mounting and using grinding tools.
