way that the sparks and grinding de-
bris are thrown away from your body.
Otherwise there could be danger of injury.
Make sure that the dimensions of the
disc are suitable for the device and
that the disc is of a type that fits prop-
erly on to the mounting flange

Q
Advice on use
Note! Discs must be used only for their recom-
mended purposes, otherwise they could disintegrate,
become damaged or cause accidents.
Roughing:
Never use cutting discs for
roughing or grinding!
Move the angle grinder using even
pressure to and fro over the workpiece.
Hold the roughing or grinding disc at
a flat angle to the workpiece when
working on a soft material. Use a
slightly steeper angle for harder ma-
terials.
Disc-cutting:
Never use roughing or
grinding discs for cutting!
Only use certified fibre-reinforced cut-
ting or grinding discs approved for use at
circumferential speeds of not less than 80 m / s.
CAUTION! The disc continues to rotate after
the device has been switched off. Do not at-
tempt to slow it down by pressing on the side
of the disc.
Securely support the workpiece. Use
clamps or a vice to grip the workpiece firmly.
This is much safer than holding it in your hand.
Switch the device off and allow it to
come to a complete standstill before
you put it down.
Unlock the ON / OFF switch immedi-
ately if a power failure occurs or the
plug is pulled out of the mains socket.
Place the switch in the OFF position.
This prevents the device from being inadvertent-
ly started up again.
Use the device for dry cutting or dry
grinding only.
The auxiliary handle 6 must be in place
whenever the device is being used.
Do not work on materials containing
asbestos. Asbestos is a known carcinogen.
A tip! Using the device safely.
DANGER! Always guide
the device through the
workpiece against the di-
rection of rotation of the
disc. If you work in the other direction there is
the risk of kickback. The device may be forced
out of the cut.
Always switch on the device before
placing it against the workpiece. After
cutting or grinding, always lift the device from
the workpiece before switching it off.
When working always hold the device
securely with both hands (see Fig. D).
Always keep proper footing and balance.
For the best grinding performance move the
device evenly to and fro over the workpiece
maintaining an angle of 15° to 30° (between
grinding disc and workpiece).
When working on inclined surfaces do
not press the device hard down on to
the workpiece. If the speed slows greatly,
use less pressure. This will allow you to work
more effectively and safely. If the device sudden-
ly stops due to it becoming retarded or trapped,
pull the mains plug from the socket immediately.
Cutting: Advance the device at an
appropriate rate. Do not incline the
cutting disc.
Roughing, grinding and cutting discs
get hot during use – allow them to
cool fully before touching them.
Never use the device for a purpose
for which it was not intended.
Before you insert the mains plug into
the socket, always check that the de-
vice is switched off.
