damage to guards and switches and any other
conditions that may affect its operation.
Ensure that the tool will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Do not use the

Do not cut or grind light metal with a
magnesium content exceeding 80%
since this type of metal is flammable.
• Do not use any accessories other than fibre
reinforced grinding and cutting discs.
• Use the grinding and cutting discs
recommended by the manufacturer only.
• The max. allowable speed of the grinding wheel
or cutting disc must always be equal to or
greater than the no-load speed of the tool
specified on the nameplate.
• Do not cut workpieces requiring a maximum
depth of cut exceeding that of the cutting disc.
• Do not use grinding and cutting discs that do
not conform to the dimensions stated in the
technical data. Do not use any spacers to
make a disc fit onto the spindle.
• Inspect grinding and cutting discs before each

the thread is long enough to accept the spindle.

place.
