with this power tool can not be su昀케ciently
shielded and are unsafe.
► The protec琀椀ve and extrac琀椀on hood must be
mounted on the power tool securely. The pro-
tec琀椀ve and extrac琀椀on hood is designed to pro-
tect the machine operator from 昀氀ying debris
and accidental contact with the grinding disk.
► Diamond cup disks must only be used for
their recommended applica琀椀ons. For exam-
ple: Never grind edges with a diamond cup
disk. Diamond cup disks are designed to grind
o昀昀 material with the underside of the diamond
segments. Lateral stresses on these grinding
disks may cause them to break.
► Only use undamaged clamping 昀氀anges in the
correct size and shape for the diamond cup
disk of your choice. Appropriate 昀氀anges will
support the diamond cup disk and will there-
fore lower the risk of breaking.
► Never use worn diamond cup disks of larger
power tools. Diamond cup disks for larger
power tools are not designed for the higher ro-
ta琀椀onal speeds of smaller power tools and can
break.
Recoil and associated safety notes
► Recoil is the sudden reac琀椀on of a hooked
or blocked rota琀椀ng tool insert, e.g. grinding
disk, cup wheel, wire brush, etc. A hooking
or blocking of the insert will cause a sudden
stop of the rota琀椀ng tool insert. As a result,
the power tool will be accelerated uncontrol-
lably in the opposite direc琀椀on of the rotat-
ing tool insert at the loca琀椀on of the blockage.
If e.g. a grinding disk is hooked or blocked inside
the workpiece, the edge of the grinding disk
submerged in the workpiece may get caught
and thus break the grinding disk or cause a re-
coil. The grinding disk will then move towards
the operator or away, depending on the rota-
琀椀onal direc琀椀on of the disk at the blockage loca-
琀椀on. This may cause the grinding disk to break.
A recoil is the result of incorrect or erroneous
handling of the power tool. Appropriate pre-
ven琀椀ve measures - as described below - will
help prevent a recoil.
► Hold the power tool 昀椀rmly and posi琀椀on your
body and arms in such a way as to be able to
compensate any recoil. Always use the second
handle (where available) to ensure a 昀椀rm grip
on the tool and greatest possible control in
the event of a recoil, and best possible reac-
琀椀on during the run-up of the tool. The operator
will be able to compensate for the recoil force
provided appropriate preven琀椀ve measures are
taken.
► Never posi琀椀on your hand in close proximity of
rota琀椀ng tool inserts. A recoil could cause the
tool insert to move across your hand.
► Posi琀椀on your body away from the area into
which the power tool would move in case of
a recoil. A recoil will drive the power tool in
the opposite direc琀椀on of the movement of the
grinding disk at the blockage loca琀椀on.
► Work with par琀椀cular cau琀椀on in the area of cor-
ners, sharp edges, etc. Prevent the tool inserts
bouncing o昀昀 the workpiece or ge琀ng stuck.
The rota琀椀ng tool insert is prone to ge琀ng stuck
at corners, sharp edges, or when it bounces o昀昀
a surface. This could cause a loss of control or
a recoil.
► Do not use chain disks or toothed disks. These
tool inserts o昀琀en create a recoil ac琀椀on or loss of
control over the power tool.
