at the highest rotational speed.
Damaged tools usually break during this
test period.
• Wear personal safety equip-
ment. Depending on the applica-
tion, use full face shields, eye
protection or safety goggles.
In so far as it is appropriate,
wear dust masks, ear protec-
tion, gloves or special aprons
which keep small grinding and
material particles away from
you. Eyes should be protected from the
foreign matter which can be caused to
fly during the various applications. Dust
or breathing masks should filter the dust
that is created during operation. If you
are exposed to loud noise for a long
time, you may suffer hearing loss.
• Ensure that other people are at
a safe distance to your work-
ing area. Anyone who enters
the working area should wear
personal protective equipment.
Broken bits from the piece being worked
or broken attachment tools can fly away
and cause injuries even beyond the di-
rect working area.
• Hold the electric tool only by
the insulated gripping surfaces
when performing work in which
the cutting tool may come into
contact with hidden wiring or its
own cord. Contact with a live wire
can also cause a charge in metal parts
of the device and result in an electric
shock.
• Keep the cord away from the ro-
tating attachment tool. If you lose
control of the device, the power cord
can become separated or caught and
your hand or arm may be pulled into
the rotating attachment tool.
• Never put the electric tool down
before the attachment tool has
come to a full stop. The rotating
attachment tool can come into contact
with the surface upon which it is set,
whereby you could lose control of the
electric tool.
• Never allow the electric tool to
run whilst you are carrying it.
Your clothing may accidentally come
into contact with the rotating attachment
tool and get caught and the attachment
tool could drill into your body.
• Clean the ventilation slots of
your electric tool routinely. The
motor air pulls dust into the housing
and, should too much metallic dust col-
lect, could cause electrical hazards.
• Never use the electric tool near
flammable material. Sparks could
ignite this material.
• Do not use attachment tools
which require liquid coolant.
Using water or another liquid coolant
could lead to electrical shock.
Additional safety instructions
• Connect the appliance only to a power
socket with a residual current circuit
breaker of rated residual current no
more than 30 mA.
• Keep power cords and extension cords
away from the disc. If they are dam-
aged or cut through, immediately pull
the plug from the outlet. Do not touch
the cable before it has been discon-
nected from the power supply.
Risk of electric shock!
• The replacement of the plug or the con-
nection line must always be executed
by the manufacturer of the electric tool
or his/her customer service in order to
avoid any hazards.
• Only use grinding discs where the in-
