Additional Safety Warnings Specific for Abrasive Cutting-Off
Operations:
a) Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut.
Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility
to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of
kickback or wheel breakage.
b) Do not position your body in line with and behind the ro-
tating 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 remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while the
wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate
and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let
the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter the cut. The
wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in
GB
the workpiece.
e) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize
the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. 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 exis-
ting walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas
or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations:
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper.
Follow manufacturers recommendations, when selecting
sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond the san-
ding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging,
tearing of the disc or kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing Operations:
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 penetrate 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.
Additional Safety and Working Instructions
When grinding metal, flying sparks are produced. Take care that
no persons are endangered. Because of the danger of fire, no
combustible materials should be located in the vicinity (spark
flight zone). Do not use dust extraction.
Avoid flying sparks and sanding dust hit your body.
Never reach into the danger area of the machine when it is
running.
Immediately switch off the machine in case of considerable
vibrations or if other malfunctions occur. Check the machine in
order to find out the cause.
Under extreme conditions (e.g. smooth-grinding metals with
the arbour and vulcanized fibre grinding wheel), significant
contamination can build up on the inside of the angle grinder. For
safety reasons, in such conditions a ground fault interrupter must

be connected in series. If the ground fault interrupter trips the
machine must be sent for service.
Chips and splinters must not be removed while the machine is
running.
Do not let any metal parts enter the airing slots - danger of short
circuit!
MAINS CONNECTION
Connect only to single-phase AC system voltage as indicated on
the rating plate. It is also possible to connect to sockets without an
earthing contact as the design conforms to safety class II.
Appliances used at many different locations including wet room
and open air must be connected via a residual current device (FI,
RCD, PRCD) of 30mA or less.
Only plug-in when machine is switched off.
Inrush currents cause short-time voltage drops. Under unfavoura-
ble power supply conditions, other equipment may be affected. If
the system impedance of the power supply is lower than 0,2 Ohm,
disturbances are unlikely to occur.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The angle grinder is intended for grinding and cutting metal,
stone and ceramic materials as well as sanding and wire brushing.
Use the cutting guard from the accessories range for cutting
application.
Please refer to the instructions supplied by the accessory
manufacturer.
The machine is suitable only for working without water.
WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
For accessories intended to be fitted with threaded hole wheel,
ensure that the thread in the wheel is long enough to accept the
spindle length.
Always use and store the cutting and grinding wheels according
to the manufacturer's instructions.
Always use the correct guard for cutting and grinding.
The grinding surface of the centre depressed wheels must be
mounted min. 2 mm below the plane of the guard lip.
The adjusting nut must be tightened before starting to work with
the machine.
Always use the auxiliary handle.
The workpiece must be fixed if it is not heavy enough to be steady.
Never move the workpiece towards the rotating wheel by hand.
ELECTRONICS
The built-in electronic will keep a constant speed even under
increased load.
In case of overload, the rotational speed is being reduced until
machine stops.
The machine has an overload and anti-kickback safety function
and stops if it is overloaded.
Please note that the machine will automatically accelerate back to
its original operating speed if the load is removed from it.
RESTART PROTECTION
Machines with a lockable switch are supplied with a restart
cutout. This prevents the machine restarting by itself after a
power failure. When resuming work, switch the machine off and
then switch it back on again.
