Safety instructions for abrasive saws

a)  

The blade guard, which is a part of the power 
tool, must be attached securely and set in a 
way that ensures maximum safety, i.e. the 
smallest possible amount of the grinding tool 
is exposed to the operator. Ensure that you 
and anyone else in the vicinity remain outside 
of the range of the rotating grinding disc. 

The 

blade guard is designed to protect the operator 
from fragments and accidental contact with the 
grinding tool .

b)  

Use only diamond-coated cutting discs for 
your power tool.

 Just because you can attach 

the accessories to your power tool does not 
guarantee they are safe to use .

c)  

The permissible speed of the accessory tool 
used must be at least as high as the maximum 
speed specified for the power tool.

 Accessories 

that rotate faster than the permissible rate can 
break and throw pieces into the air .

d)  

Grinding tools should only be used for the 
recommended applications. For example: 
Never grind with the side surface of a cutting 
disc.

 Cutting discs are designed to remove 

material with the edge of the disc . Any lateral 
application of force on these grinding tools can 
lead to a breakage .

e)  

Always use an undamaged clamping flange 
of the correct size and shape for the selected 
grinding disc.

 Suitable flanges support the 

grinding disc and reduce the risk of a disc 
breakage .

f)  

The external diameter and thickness of the 
attachment part used must comply with the 
dimensions of the power tool.

 Incorrectly  

dimensioned accessory tools cannot be suffi-
ciently shielded or controlled .

g)  

Grinding discs and flanges must fit precisely 
onto the grinding spindle of your power tool.

Accessory tools which do not fit precisely on 
the grinding spindle of the power tool will rotate 
unevenly, vibrate severely and can lead to a 
loss of control .

h)  

Do not use damaged grinding discs. Check 
the grinding discs for chips and cracks before 
each use. If the power tool or grinding disc is 
dropped, check to see if either is damaged, 
or use an undamaged grinding disc. After 
checking and inserting the grinding disc, 
ensure that you and any other people in the 
vicinity remain outside of the range of the 
rotating grinding disc and allow the tool to 
rotate at maximum speed for one minute.

Damaged grinding discs usually break during 
this test period .

i)  

Wear personal protective equipment.  
Depending on the application, ensure that 
you use full face protection, eye protection 
or goggles. If required, use a dust mask, ear 
muffs, protective gloves or a special apron to 
protect you from grindings and material par-
ticles.

 Protect your eyes from flying debris that 

may be created during certain applications . 
Dust or filter masks must be used to filter any 
dust created by the application . Long-term expo-
sure to loud noise can cause a hearing loss .

j)  

Ensure that other people remain at a safe dis-
tance to your workspace. Anyone who enters 
the workspace must wear personal protective 
equipment.

 Fragments of the workpiece or bro-

ken accessory tools can fly off and cause injury 
– even outside the immediate working area .

k)  

Hold the appliance only by its insulated grip-
ping surfaces when you are performing work 
during which the power tool may hit hidden 
power lines or its own power cord.

 Contact 

with a live cable can also make metal parts of 
the appliance live and could result in an electric 
shock .

l)  

Keep the power cord away from rotating 
tools

 . If you lose control of the appliance, the 

cord may get cut or caught and your hand or 
arm could get caught in the rotating accessory 
tool .

m)  

Never remove the power tool before the 
accessory tool has come to a complete stop.

The rotating accessory tool could come into 
contact with the surface and cause you to lose 
control of the power tool .
