actly. For attachment tools which
are mounted through a fl ange,
the diameter of the hole in the
attachment tool must fi t the
mounting diameter of the fl ange.
Attachment tools which cannot be pre-
cisely attached to the electric tool turn
unevenly, vibrate very strongly and can
ultimately lead to a loss of control.
• Never use damaged attachment
tools. Check attachment tools
such as grinding discs for chip-
ping or cracks, grinding plates
for cracks, wear or strong abrasi-
on and wire brushes for loose or
broken wires before using them.
If the electric tool or the attach-
ment tool falls off, check whether
it is damaged or, use an undama-
ged attachment tool. If you have
checked the attachment tool and
attached it, keep yourself and
any nearby persons beyond the
level of the rotating attachment
tool and allow the device to run
for 1 min. at the highest rotati-
onal speed. Damaged tools usually
break during this test period.
• Wear personal safety equip-
ment. Depending on the appli-
cation, use full face shields, eye
protection or safety goggles. In
so far as it is appropriate, wear
dust masks, ear protection,
gloves or special aprons which
keep small grinding and materi-
al particles away from you. Eyes
should be protected from the foreign

that is created during operation. If you
are exposed to loud noise for a long
time, you may suffer hearing loss.
• Ensure that other people are at
a safe distance to your working
area. Anyone who enters the
working area should wear per-
sonal protective equipment. Bro-
ken bits from the piece being worked

away and cause injuries even beyond
the direct working area.
• Hold the electric tool only by
the insulated gripping surfaces
when performing work in which
the cutting tool may come into
contact with hidden wiring. Con-
tact with a live wire can also cause a
charge in metal parts of the tool and
result in an electric shock.
• Never put the electric tool down
before the attachment tool has
come to a full stop. Therotating
attachment tool can come into contact
with the surface upon which it is set,
whereby you could lose control of the
electric tool.
• Never allow the electric tool to
run while you are carrying it.
Your clothing may accidentally come
into contact with the rotating attachment
tool and get caught and the attachment
tool could drill into your body.
• Clean the ventilation slots of
your electric tool routinely. The
motor air pulls dust into the housing
and, should too much metallic dust coll-
ect, could cause electrical hazards.
• Never use the electric tool near
fl ammable material. Sparks could
ignite this material.
• Do not use attachment tools
which require liquid coolant.
Using water or another liquid coolant
could lead to electrical shock.
