applied to these wheels may cause them to shat-
ter.
e. Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are
of correct size and shape for your selected
wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel
thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from
grinding wheel flanges.
f. Do not use worn down wheels from larger pow-
er tools. Wheel intended for larger power tool is
not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool
and may burst.

ations
Additional Safety Warnings Specific for Abrasive
Cutting-Off Operations:
a. Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply exces-
sive pressure. Do not attempt to make an exces-
sive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel
increases the loading and susceptibility to twist-
ing or binding of the wheel in the cut and the pos-
sibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
b. Do not position your body in line with and behind
the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point
of operation, is moving away from your body, the
possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel
and the power tool directly at you.
c. When wheel is binding or when interrupting a
cut for any reason, switch off the power tool and
hold the power tool motionless until the wheel
comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to re-
move the cut-off wheel from the cut while the
wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may oc-
cur. Investigate and take corrective action to
eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
d. Do not restart the cutting operation in the work-
piece. Let the wheel reach full speed and care-
fully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk
up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the
workpiece.
e. Support panels or any oversized workpiece to
minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kick-
back. Large workpieces tend to sag under their
own weight. Supports must be placed under the
workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge
of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
f. Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut"
into existing walls or other blind areas. The pro-
truding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, elec-
trical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.

Additional safety instructions for wire brushing
operations
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing Oper-
ations:
a. Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the
brush even during ordinary operation. Do not
overstress the wires by applying excessive load
to the brush. The wire bristles can easily pene-
trate light clothing and/or skin.
b. If the use of a guard is recommended for wire
brushing, do not allow any interference of the
wire wheel or brush with the guard. Wire wheel
or brush may expand in diameter due to work
load and centrifugal forces.
Further safety information
– The power tool is not permitted for operation in
damp and wet environments, if it is raining or
snowing or there is fog, and in an explosive envi-
ronment.
– Only use the approved extension cable and cable
connections for outdoor applications.
– Do not carry the power tool by the cable.
– Only insert the connector of the connection cable
in the socket when the power tool is switched off.
– Always remove the mains plug from the socket
before you replace the cutting disc or perform
other settings at the power tool.
– Only guide the power tool into the material when
it is switched on (running).
– For safety reasons, the workpiece must be
clamped in a vice or other clamping device. A
clamped workpiece frees up both hands for oper-
ating the power tool.
– Cutting or grinding stone or masonry is only per-
mitted with the use of a guide block.
– Do not work on ladders.
– People under 16 years of age are prohibited from
working with the power tool.
– Do not use quick clamping nuts for clamping the
cutting disc.
– During the installation ensure that the direction
of rotation marked on the label and/or the dia-
mond tool by the arrow corresponds to the direc-
tion of rotation of the power tool used.
– The flange and the safety clamping nut must be
tightened to a minimum tightening torque of 20
Nm.
– Use suitable tools with corresponding specifica-
tions for the materials being processed - see in-
formation on the diamond disc and the
packaging.
