Quick-clamping nut

To change the abrasive tool easily without having to use any
additional tools, you can use the quick-clamping nut (11) in-
stead of the clamping nut (9).
The quick-clamping nut (11) may be used only for
u
grinding or cutting discs.
Only use quick-clamping nuts (11) that are in good work-
ing order and not damaged.
When screwing on, make sure that the printed side of the
quick-clamping nut (11) is not facing the grinding disc;
the arrow must be pointing towards the index mark (24).

Dust/Chip Extraction

The dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of

Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reac-

people in the near vicinity.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as
carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.
– Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the ma-
terial wherever possible.
– Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
– It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
