reached, i.e., the smallest possib-
le amount of the grinder is expo-
sed to the operator.Theprotective
hood should protect the operator from
broken bits and accidental contact with
the grinder.
d) Grinders may only be used for
the recommended attachment
options. For example: Never
grind with the side surface of a
cutting disc.Cuttingdiscsareforcut-
ting material using the edge of the disc.
Pushing sideways on these grinders can
break them.
e) Always use undamaged clamping
fl anges of the correct size and
shape for the grinding disc you
selected.Suitablefl angessupportthe
grinding disc and thus reduce the danger
of the grinding disc breaking. Flanges for
cutting discs can be distinguished from
fl angesforothergrindingdiscs.
f) Do not use worn grinding discs
for larger electric tools. Grinding
discs for larger electric tools are not
set up for the higher rotation speeds of
smaller electric tools and can break.
Other special safety
instructions for cutting
grinding
a) Avoid blocking the cutting disc
or pressing down too hard. Do
not make any excessively deep
cuts. Overloading the cutting disc
increases wear and its tendency to tilt
or block and, with that, to kickback or
break the grinder.
b) Avoid the area in front of and
behind the rotating cutting disc.
When you move the cutting disc by itself
in the workpiece, in the event that the
electric tool kicks back with the rotating
disc, it can spin directly towards you.
c) If the cutting disc jams, or you
interrupt your work, switch the
device off and hold it until the
disc has come to a full stop. Ne-
ver try to pull the cutting disc
out of the cut while it is still run-
ning, because it can kick back.
Identify and correct the cause of the
jamming.
d) Do not switch the electric tool
on again as long as it is in the
workpiece. Allow the cutting
disc to fi rst reach its full rotatio-
nal speed before you carefully
resume with the cutting. Other-
wise, the disc may catch, spring away
from the workpiece or cause a kick-
back.
e) Support plates or workpieces to
reduce the risk of kickback from
a jammed cutting disc. Large
workpieces may bend under
their own weight.Theworkpiece
must be supported on both sides of the
disc, near the cutting disc as well as
also at the edge.
f) Be particularly careful for po-
cket cuts in existing walls or
other areas where you cannot
see what is there.Thecuttingdisc
may cause a kickback when it cuts into
gas or water lines, electrical lines or
other hidden objects.
