4.5 Safety Warnings Specific for sanding
operations, fibre discs and tools for velcro bounded
backing plates:
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding
discs, follow manufacturers
recommendations, when selecting sanding
discs. Larger extending tools beyond the backing pad
presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging,
tearing of the disc or kickback.
4.6 Safety Warnings Specific for Polishing Operations:
Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing bonnet
or its attachment strings to spin freely. Tuck away or
trim any loose attachment strings. Loose and spinning
attachment strings can entangle your fingers or snag on
the workpiece.
4.7 Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing Opera-
tions:
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 brus-
hing, 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.
4.8 Additional Safety Instructions
Use elastic cushioning layers if they have been
supplied with the grinding media and if required. Observe
the specifications of the tool or accessory manufacturer!
Protect the discs from grease or impacts! (When using Ei­
senblätter grinding discs see seperate safety instructions)
Grinding discs must be stored and handled with care in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Never use cutting discs for roughing work! Do not apply
pressure to the side of the cutting discs.
The workpiece must lay flat and be secured against
slipping, e.g. using clamps. Large workpieces must be
sufficiently supported.
If accessories with threaded inserts are used, the end of
the spindle may not touch the base of the hole on the
grinding tool. Make sure that the thread in the tool is long
enough to accommodate the full length of the spindle. The
thread in the tool must match the thread on the spindle.
Use of a fixed extractor system is recommended.
Always install an RCD with a max. trip current of 30 mA
upstream. If the angle grinder is shut down via the RCD, it
must be checked and cleaned. See chapter 8.2 Cleaning.
Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools must not be
used.

Avoid damage to gas or water pipes, electrical
cables and load­bearing walls (static).
Pull the plug out of the socket before making any
adjustments, converting or servicing the machine.
A damaged or cracked additional handle must be
replaced. Never operate a machine with a defective
additional handle.
A damaged or cracked safety guard must be replaced.
Never operate a machine with a defective safety guard.
Secure small workpieces. For example, clamp in a vice.
Reduce dust exposure:
Particles generated when working with this
machine may contain substances that can
cause cancer, allergic reactions, respiratory
diseases, birth defects or other propagation defects. Some
of these substances include: Lead (in paint containing
lead), mineral dust (from bricks, concrete etc.), additives
used for wood treatment (chromate, wood preservatives),
some wood types (such as oak or beech dust), metals,
asbestos. The risk depends on for how long the user or
nearby persons are exposed to the substance. This dust
must not be allowed to enter your body. Do the following
to reduce exposure to these substances: Ensure good ven­
tilation of the workplace and wear appropriate protective
equipment, such as respirators able to filter microscopical­
ly small particles. Observe the relevant guidelines for your
material, staff, application and place of application (e.g.
occupational health and safety regulations, disposal).
Collect the generated particles at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use suitable accessories for special work, thus less par­
ticles enter the environment in an uncontrolled manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
­ Do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons
or on dust deposits.
­ Use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers
­ Ensure good ventilation of the workplace and
keep clean using a vacuum cleaner Sweeping or
blowing stirs up dust
­ Vacuum or wash the protective clothing Do not
blow, beat or brush
