J Do not use separate reducing bushes or adapt-
ers in order to make grinding discs with a larg-
er bore fit.
J When using abrasive consumables and tools
with a threaded insert make sure that the tread
is long enough for the spindle length.
J Do not work in areas where there may be con-
cealed electricity cables or gas or water pipes.
Use a suitable detector or ask your local utility
service providers. Contact with electricity
cables can lead to fire or electric shock. Dam-
aging a gas pipe can lead to an explosion.
Penetration of a water pipe can lead to proper-
ty damage or to electric shock.

Danger of fire from flying
sparks! Cutting or grinding metal
creates flying sparks. For this rea-
son, always make sure that nobody is placed in
any danger and that there are no inflammable
materials near the working area.
J m Warning! Noxious fumes! Working
with harmful / noxious dusts represents a risk to
the health of the person operating the device
and to anyone near the work area.
J
Wear ear protectors, safety glasses,
breathing/dust mask and protective
gloves.
J For longer periods of cutting or grinding metal
or stone materials which give rise to dusts that
are hazardous to health, the device must be
connected to a suitable external dust extraction
device.
J m Warning! Danger of electric shock
from metal dust!
Grinding or cutting metal can result in electri-
cally conductive dust being deposited inside
the device. In these circumstances the inside of
the motor compartment must be blown out at
frequent intervals with compressed air, vacuum
extraction used and the device operated
through a residual current device (RCD) with a
maximum trip current of 30 mA.
J Ensure that there is adequate ventilation when
working on plastic, paint, varnish etc.
J Do not soak the materials or the surface you
are about to work on with liquids containing
solvents.
J Wear close-fitting clothing and keep long hair
inside a hairnet or suitable headwear.
J For safety reasons this device must always be
used with the auxiliary handle
5
in place.
J The adjustable disc guard cover
6
must
always be in place when working with rough-
ing, grinding or cutting discs.
J Use the vacuum dust extraction facility if your
work generates high amounts of dust. Use
suction devices particularly approved for the
purpose.
J Use permitted consumables and tools only.
Check that the speed given on the discs is
greater or equal to the rated speed of the
device.
J Take note of the direction of rotation and
always hold the device in such a way that the
sparks and grinding debris are thrown away
from your body.
J Make sure that the dimensions of the disc are
suitable for the device and that the disc is of a
type that fits properly on to the mounting flange
9
.
Advice on use
Note! Discs must be used only for their recom-
mended purposes, otherwise they could disinte-
grate, become damaged or cause accidents.
Roughing discs
Never use cutting discs for
roughing or grinding!
J Move the angle grinder using even pressure to
and fro over the workpiece.
J 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 hard-
er materials.
