– When possible keep grinding discs in
their original packaging, or in special
containers or on special shelves.
VIBRATION AND NOISE
ATTENUATION
To reduce the effects of noise and vibrations
you should limit the time in use, use the
low-vibration and low-noise modes, and
wear personal safety equipment. Observe the
following to minimise the risk of exposure to
vibrations and loud noise:
– Only use the power tool for the
purpose it was designed for, and in
accordance with these instructions.
– Make sure that the power tool is in
good condition and well maintained.
– Use the right accessories for the
power tool and make sure they are in
good condition.
– Keep a firm grip on the handles/
gripping surface.
– Maintain the power tool in
accordance with these instructions
and make sure it is well lubricated
(where applicable).
– Plan the work schedule to spread the
use of tools with heavy vibrations
over a longer period.
EMERGENCY MODE
Familiarise yourself with the use of this power
tool with the help of these instructions.
Commit the safety instructions to memory and
follow them to the letter. This will help you to
avoid risks and dangerous situations.
• Always pay attention when using this
power tool, so that you can detect and
handle risks at an early stage.
• The guard must be firmly fixed to the
power tool and positioned for maximum
safety, so that the smallest possible part
of the disc is exposed to the user. The
guard helps to protect the user against
broken-off fragments of disc, accidental
contact with the disc, and sparks that
could set fire to clothing.
• Discs must only be used for the
recommended applications. For example:
Do not grind with the side of a cutting
disc. Abrasive cutting discs are intended
for grinding with the outer edges. If lateral
forces are applied to these discs, they can
shatter.
• Always use undamaged disc flanges of the
right size and shape for the disc you have
chosen. Correct disc flanges support the
disc and therefore reduce the risk of the
disc breaking. Flanges for cutting discs can
differ from flanges for grinding discs.
• Do not use worn down discs from a larger
power tool. Discs from larger power tools
are not suitable for the higher speeds of
small tools and can shatter.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
BONDED GRINDING DISCS
Grinding discs can break and are sensitive to
impact and pressure. For this reason take the
following precautions when handling grinding
discs:
– Do not drop grinding discs or subject
them to knock and blows.
– Do not use damaged grinding discs
or discs that have been dropped.
– Avoid damaging the centre hole.
– Do not subject grinding discs to
heavy weights; do not put anything
on top of them.
– Store grinding discs flat, or upright in
a dry and frost-free place.
