GB/IE/CY

Cutting discs

Never use roughing or grinding 
discs for cutting! 

J

   Only use certified fibre-reinforced cutting or 

grinding discs approved for use at circumferen-
tial speeds of not less than 80 m/s.

m

Caution!

 The disc continues to rotate after the 

device has been switched off. Do not attempt 
to slow it down by pressing on the side of the 
disc. 

J

   Securely support the workpiece. Use clamps or 

a vice to grip the workpiece firmly. This is much 
safer than holding it in your hand.

J

   Switch the device off and allow it to come to a 

complete standstill before you put it down.

J

   Unlock the ON/OFF switch immediately if a 

power failure occurs or the plug is pulled out of 
the mains socket. Place the switch in the OFF 
position. This prevents the device from being  
inadvertently started up again.

J

   Use the device for dry cutting or dry grinding 

only.

J

   The auxiliary handle 

5

 must be in place 

whenever the device is being used.

J

    Do not work on materials containing asbestos. 

Asbestos is a known carcinogen.

  A tip! Using the device safely.

  m 

 Danger!

 Always guide the  

device through the workpiece 
against the direction of rotation 
of the disc. If you work in the 

 other direction there is the risk of kickback. The 
device may be forced out of the cut.

J

    Always switch on the device before placing it 

against the workpiece. After cutting or grind-
ing, always lift the device from the workpiece 
before switching it off.

J

   When working always hold the device securely 

with both hands (see Fig. D). Always keep 
proper footing and balance.

J

   For the best grinding performance move the de-

vice evenly to and fro over the workpiece main-

taining an angle of 15° to 30° (between 
grinding disc and workpiece).

J

   When working on inclined surfaces do not 

press the device hard down on to the work-
piece. If the speed slows greatly, use less pres-
sure. This will allow you to work more effective-
ly and safely. If the device suddenly stops due 
to it becoming retarded or trapped, pull the 
mains plug from the socket immediately.

J

   Cutting: Advance the device at an appropriate 

rate. Do not incline the cutting disc.

J 

 Roughing, grinding and cutting discs get hot 
during use – allow them to cool fully before 
touching them.

J

   Never use the device for a purpose for which it 

was not intended.

J

   Before you insert the mains plug into the socket, 

always check that the device is switched off.

J

    If a dangerous situation arises, pull the mains 

plug immediately out of the mains socket.  
Ensure that the device and the mains plug are 
easily accessible and can be reached quickly 
in an emergency.

J

   When taking a break from your work, before 

carrying out any tasks on the device itself and 
when you are not using the device, always pull 
the mains plug out of the mains socket. 
Always keep the device clean, dry and free of 
oil or grease.

J

   Remain alert at all times! Always watch what 

you are doing and proceed with caution. Do 
not use the device if you cannot concentrate or 
you are feeling unwell.

  Use

 Operation

Take note of the mains voltage! The voltage must 
agree with that shown on the device’s rating plate 
(equipment shown as 230 V can also be connected 
to 220 V).
