•
Always check that the supply voltage is the same as the
voltage indicated on the nameplate of the tool
•
Always mount auxiliary handle F 2 and protective guard
F 2 ; never use the tool without them
•
Use suitable detectors to find hidden utility lines
or call the local utility company for assistance
(contact with electric lines can lead to fire or electrical
shock; damaging a gas line can result in an explosion;
penetrating a water pipe will cause property damage or
an electrical shock)
•
Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos
is considered carcinogenic)
•
Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some
wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful
(contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic
reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or
bystanders); wear a dust mask and work with a dust
extraction device when connectable
Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic
•
(such as oak and beech dust) especially in conjunction
with additives for wood conditioning; wear a dust
mask and work with a dust extraction device when
connectable
•
Follow the dust-related national requirements for the
materials you want to work with
•
Be careful when cutting grooves, especially in supporting
walls (slots in supporting walls are subject to country-
specific regulations; these regulations are to be observed
under all circumstances)
•
Secure the workpiece (a workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely than
by hand)
•
Do not clamp the tool in a vice
•
Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a
capacity of 16 Amps (U.K. 13 Amps)
DURING USE
•
If the cord is damaged or cut through while working, do
not touch the cord, but immediately disconnect the plug
•
Never use the tool when the cord is damaged; it must be
replaced by a specially prepared cord available through
the service organization.
•
In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction,
immediately switch off the tool and disconnect the plug
AFTER USE
After switching off the tool, never stop the rotation of the
•
accessory by a lateral force applied against it

6 Do not dispose of the tool together with household waste
material
WHEN CONNECTING NEW 3-PIN PLUG (U.K. ONLY):
•

USE
•
Mounting of accessories 2
! disconnect the plug
- clean spindle A and all parts to be mounted
- tighten clamping flange B with spanner C while pushing
spindle-lock button D
! push spindle-lock button D only when spindle A is
at a standstill
- for removing accessories handle vice-versa
! grinding/cutting discs become very hot during
use; do not touch them until they have cooled
down
! never use a grinding/cutting disc without the label
("blotter") which is glued onto it (if provided)
•
Mounting of auxiliary handle F 7
! disconnect the plug
- screw auxiliary handle F on the right, the top, or the left
of the tool (depending on the work to be carried out)
•
Removing/mounting/adjusting of protective guard G 8
! disconnect the plug
! ensure that the closed side of the protective guard
always points to the operator
- if necessary, adjust protective guard G by tightening
screw X which is pre-set at manufacturing (ensure that
the protective guard is closed)
•
Before using the tool
- ensure that accessory is correctly mounted and firmly
tightened
- check if accessory runs freely by turning it by hand
- test-run tool for at least 60 seconds at highest no-load
speed in a safe position
- stop immediately in case of considerable vibration or
other defects and check tool to determine the cause
•
On/off safety switch H 9
- switch on tool 9 a
! be aware of the sudden impact when the tool is
switched on
! before the accessory reaches the workpiece, the
tool should run at full speed
- switch off tool 9 b
! before switching off the tool, you should lift it from
the workpiece
! the accessory continues to rotate for a short time
after the tool has been switched off
•
Grinding q
- move the tool back and forth with moderate pressure
! never use a cutting disc for side grinding
•
Cutting w
- do not tilt the tool while cutting
- always move the tool in same direction as arrow on tool
head, in order to prevent the tool from being pushed out
of the cut in an uncontrolled manner
- do not apply pressure on the tool; let the speed of the
cutting disc do the work
- the working speed of the cutting disc depends on the
material to be cut
- do not brake cutting discs with side pressure
•
Holding and guiding the tool e
- always hold the tool firmly with both hands, so you will
have full control of the tool at all times
! while working, always hold the tool at the grey-
coloured grip area(s) e
- provide for a secure stance
- pay attention to the direction of rotation; always hold the
tool so, that sparks and grinding/cutting dust fly away
from the body
- keep ventilation slots J 2 uncovered
•
Mounting/removing spanner C r
- only applicable if tool is executed with auxiliary handle
with integrated spanner storage
