discs are for cutting material
using the edge of the disc.
Pushing sideways on these
grinders can break them.
e) Always use undamaged
clamping flanges of the cor-
rect size and shape for the
grinding disc you selected.
Suitable flanges support the
grinding disc and thus reduce
the danger of the grinding
disc breaking. Flanges for
cutting discs can be distingu-
ished from flanges for other
grinding discs.
f) Do not use worn grinding
discs for larger electric tools.
Grinding discs for larger elec-
tric 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 exces-
sively deep cuts. Overloading
the cutting disc increases
wear and its tendency to tilt
or block and, with that, to
kickback or break the grin-
der.
b) Avoid the area in front of and
behind the rotating cutting
disc. When you move the cut-
ting disc by itself in the work-
piece, in the event that the
electric tool kicks back with
GB
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. Never try to pull the cut-
ting disc out of the cut while
it is still running, because it
can kick back. Identify and
correct the cause of the jam-
ming.
d) Do not switch the electric tool
on again as long as it is in
the workpiece. Allow the cut-
ting disc to first reach its full
rotational speed before you
carefully resume with the cut-
ting. Otherwise, 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. The
workpiece 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. The cutting
disc may cause a kickback
when it cuts into gas or water
lines, electrical lines or other
hidden objects.
