Special safety instructions for
grinding and abrasive cutting
a) Use only the grinding accessories approved for
your power tool and the appropriate blade
guard for these grinding tools. Grinding tools
which are not designed for the power tool
cannot be sufficiently shielded and are unsafe.
b) Offset grinding discs must be fitted so that the
grinding surface does not protrude over the
level of the blade guard edge. An improperly
fitted grinding disc which protrudes over the
level of the blade guard edge cannot be prop-
erly guarded.
c) The blade guard must be securely mounted
on the power tool and adjusted to ensure
maximum safety so that the smallest possible
amount of the grinding tool is exposed to the
operator. The blade guard is designed to
protect the operator from fragments, accidental
contact with the grinding tool and sparks that
could ignite clothing.
d) Grinding tools should only be used for the
recommended applications. For example:
Never grind with the side surface of a cutting
disc. Cutting discs are designed to remove
material with the edge of the disc. Any lateral
application of force on these grinding tools can
lead to breakage.
e) Always use an undamaged clamping flange
of the correct size and shape for the selected
grinding disc. Suitable flanges support the
grinding disc and reduce the risk of disc
breakage. Flanges for cutting discs can be
different to flanges for other grinding discs.
f) Do not use worn grinding discs from larger
power tools. Grinding discs for larger power
tools are not designed for the higher rotational
speeds of smaller power tools and can break.

Additional special safety instructions
for abrasive cutting
a) Avoid any blockage to the cutting disc or
high contact pressure. Do not make any
excessively deep cuts. Overloading the cutting
disc increases the stress and likelihood of tilting
or jamming and thus the possibility of kickback
or breakage of the grinding tool.
b) Avoid the area in front of and behind the
rotating cutting disc. When you move the cutting
disc away from yourself in the workpiece, it is
possible, in the event of a kickback, that the
power tool along with the rotating disc might be
thrown out directly towards you.
b) If the cutting disc jams or you stop working,
switch the tool off and hold it steadily in the
workpiece until the disc has completely
stopped turning. Never attempt to pull a
rotating cutting disc out of a cut. This could
lead to kickback. Identify and remove the
cause of the jam.
d) Do not switch the power tool back on while it
is located in the workpiece. Allow the cutting
disc to reach its full speed before you care-
fully continue the cut. Otherwise, the disc can
jam, jump out of the workpiece or cause kick-
back.
e) Support boards or large workpieces to reduce
the risk of the cutting disc jamming and
causing a kickback. Large workpieces can bend
under their own weight. The workpiece must be
supported on both sides of the disc: both in the
vicinity of the cutting disc and also at the edge.
f) Be particularly careful when making pocket
cuts into existing walls or other obscured
areas. The inserted cutting disc may cut into gas
or water pipes, electrical wiring or other objects
that can cause kickback.
