possible area of the abrasive consum-
able is exposed to the operator. The disc
guard cover is there to protect the operator from
pieces breaking off and accidental contact with
the abrasive consumable.
c) Abrasive consumables must be used
only for their recommended purpos-
es, For example: never grind with the
side face of a cutting disc. Cutting discs
are intended for removing material using the
edge of the disc. Sideways forces on these
abrasive consumables can cause them to break.
d) Always use an undamaged mounting
flange of the correct size and shape
for your selected grinding disc. Suitable
flanges support the grinding disc and reduce the
chance of it breaking. Flanges for cutting discs are
different from the flanges for other abrasive discs.
e) Never use worn down abrasive con-
sumables intended for larger electrical
power tools. Abrasive consumables intended
for larger electrical power tools are not designed
for the faster rotational speeds of these smaller
electrical power tools and could break.

advice for disc-cutting
a) Avoid snagging the cutting disc and
do not use too much contact pressure.
Do not attempt to make excessively
deep cuts. Overloading the cutting disc in-
creases the load and the tendency of the disc
to twist or snag in the cut, making kickback or
disc breakage more likely.
b) Avoid the area in front of or behind
the rotating cutting disc. If the cutting disc
is moving away from you at the point of con-
straint in the workpiece, then, in the event of
a kickback, the electrical power tool and the
rotating disc may be thrown towards you.
c) If the cutting disc jams or you stop
work for a while, switch the device
off and hold it until the disc comes to
a complete stop. Never attempt to
pull the still rotating cutting disc out of

the cut as this could cause kickback.
Determine and rectify the reason for the jamming.
d) Do not switch on the device if the cut-
ting disc is in the workpiece. Allow
the cutting disc to reach full speed be-
fore carefully continuing with the cut.
Otherwise the disc could snag, jump out of the
workpiece or cause a kickback.
e) Support boards or workpieces whilst
cutting to reduce the risk of kickback
caused by a jammed cutting disc. Large
workpieces may bend under their own weight.
The workpiece must be supported to both sides
of the cutting disc and particularly near the
cutting disc and at the workpiece edge.
f) Be particularly careful when pocket
cutting in existing walls or other areas
where you cannot see what you are cut-
ting into. The cutting disc plunged into the surface
could cut through gas or water pipes, electricity
cables or other objects and cause kickback.

abrading using sandpaper
D o not use over-sized sanding sheets.
Follow the manufacturer's recommen-
dations for sanding sheet size. Sanding
sheets that project beyond the backing pad
could cause injury in addition to jamming,
tearing of the sheet or kickback.
Special safety
Q
advice for polishing
D o not use the polishing bonnet if it
has any loose parts, in particular the
fastening cords. Tuck the fastening cords
away or trim them. Loose fastening cords rotat-
ing with the attachment could catch your fingers
or become trapped in the workpiece.
