Immediately switch off the machine in case of 

considerable vibrations or if other malfunctions occur. 

Check the machine in order to find out the cause.
Under extreme conditions (e.g. smooth-grinding 

metals with the arbour and vulcanized fibre grinding 

disk), significant contamination can build up on the 

inside of the angle grinder. For safety reasons, in 

such conditions a ground fault interrupter must be 

connected in series. If the ground fault interrupter trips 

the machine must be sent for service.
Chips and splinters must not be removed while the 

machine is running.

RESIdUAl RISKS

Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still 

impossible to completely eliminate certain residual 

risk factors. The following hazards may arise and the 

operator should pay special attention to avoid the 

following:

Injury caused by thrown-off particles

Metal or abrasive particles may enter the eyes and 

cause severe permanent damage. Wear goggles 

approved for grinding operations whenever you use 

the product.

Injury caused by vibration

Limit exposure.

Injury caused by dust

Wear appropriate dust control mask with filters suitable 

for protecting against particles from the material being 

worked on and abrasive particles from the grinding 

disc. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in the work area. 

Ensure adequate ventilation.

Injury from contact with the grinding disc

The disc and workpiece will become hot during 

use. Wear gloves when changing discs or touching 

workpiece. Keep hands away from the grinding area at 

all times. Clamp the workpiece whenever possible.

Injury caused by noise

Prolonged exposure to noise will increase the risk of 

hearing damage, and the effects are cumulative. When 

using power tools for any extended period of time, 

wear hearing protection.

MAINS cONNEctION

Connect only to single-phase AC system voltage as 

indicated on the rating plate. It is also possible to 

connect to sockets without an earthing contact as the 

design conforms to safety class II. 
Appliances used at many different locations including 

wet room and open air must be connected via a 

residual current device (FI, RCD, PRCD) of 30mA or 

less.
Only plug-in when machine is switched off.

Do not let any metal parts enter the airing slots - 

danger of short circuit!
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be 

replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorised 

service centre to avoid a safety hazard. Contact 

authorised service centre.
Inrush currents cause short-time voltage drops. 

Under unfavourable power supply conditions, other 

equipment may be affected. If the system impedance of 

the power supply is lower than 0,2 Ohm, disturbances 

are unlikely to occur.
