wires by applying excessive load to the brush The wire
bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
If the use of a guard is specified for wire brushing, do
u
not allow any interference of the wire wheel or brush
with the guard. Wire wheel or brush may expand in dia-
meter due to work load and centrifugal forces.
Additional safety information
Wear safety goggles.
The protective guard must not be used for
cutting. With a suitable adapter, the protective
guard can also be used for cutting.
Hold the power tool firmly with both hands
and make sure you have a stable footing. The
power tool can be more securely guided with
both hands.
For application tools with an internal thread, such as
u
brushes and diamond annular cutters, attention must
be paid to the max. thread length of the grinding
spindle. The spindle end must not touch the base of the
application tool.
Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are
u
hidden in the work area or call the local utility com-
pany for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead
to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to
explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property dam-
age or may cause an electric shock.
Do not touch grinding and cutting discs until they have
u
cooled down. The discs can become very hot while work-
ing.
Release the On/Off switch and set it to the off position
u
when the power supply is interrupted, e. g., in case of
a power failure or when the mains plug is pulled. This
prevents uncontrolled restarting.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
u
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by
hand.
Store the application tools inside buildings, in a dry,
u
frost-free room at a uniform temperature.
Remove the application tools before transporting the
u
power tool. This will allow you to avoid damage.
Bonded cutting and grinding discs have an expiration
u
date, after which the discs must no longer be used.
