Safety instructions for pneumatic tools
Hold the machine correctly:
Be prepared to counteract the
usual or sudden movements –
keep both hands ready.
Make sure that your body is
balanced and that you are
standing on a stable surface.
Activate a startup or shutdown
control device in the event of
power outage.
Use only those lubricants
recommended by the manufac-
turer.
Goggles must be worn; gloves
and protective clothing are
recommended.
A hard hat must be worn for
overhead work.
Specify the runout time when
this is longer than 5 s; it is
recommended urgently to
place the pneumatic angle
grinder in a protected place.
For abrasive cutting work, the
workpiece must be supported
in such a manner that the part-
ing slit maintains a constant
or increasing width during the
whole work.
If the parting disc jams in a
parting slit, the pneumatic angle
grinder must be switched OFF
and the parting disc loosened.
Before resuming operation,
check that the parting disc has
been secured properly and is

GB/CY
not damaged.
Grinding and parting discs
may not be used for face
grinding (exception: face
grinding wheels). Pneumatic
angle grinders may not be
used at circumferential speeds
greater than the maximum val-
ue specified for an abrasive.
The operating personnel must
make sure that there is nobody
standing nearby.
Personal protective equip-
ment such as suitable gloves,
aprons, and hard hats must be
used.
The sparks generated by
parting work may ignite cloth-
ing and cause serious burns.
Make sure that the sparks do
not contact clothing. Wear fire
retardant clothing, and make
sure that there is a pail of wa-
ter nearby.
HAZARDS FROM REPEATED
MOVEMENTS
Using a pneumatic angle
grinder for work related ac-
