CAUTIon! DAngER oF FIRE!
Ensure that the material being
ground and the grinder itself
do not overheat. Always empty the dust
container before taking a break from work.
Grinding dust in the dust sack, microfilter, paper
sack (or in the filter sack or filter of the vacuum
cleaner) can ignite automatically under unfa-
vour-able conditions such as flying sparks when
metal is being ground. There is a par-ticular
hazard if the grinding dust is mixed with paint
or polyurethane residues or other chemical
substances and the material being ground is hot
after being worked on for a prolonged period.

ing of materials that can produce harmful / tox-
