recoil or loss of control of the electric tool.
Special safety information for grinding/san-
ding and cutting-off
a) Use only grinding/sanding wheels that
have been approved for your electric tool
and the safety hood designed for these
grinding/sanding wheels. Grinding/sanding
wheels which are not designed for the electric
tool cannot be shielded adequately and are
unsafe.
b) The safety hood must be securely faste-
ned to the electric tool and adjusted so
that it off ers maximum safety, in other
words it prevents the smallest possible
part of the grinding/sanding wheel from
striking the operator. The safety hood helps
to protect the operator from broken pieces,
accidental contact with the cutting-off wheel,
and sparks which could ignite clothing.
c) Grinding/sanding wheels may only be
used for the applications for which they
are recommended. For example: Never
grind/sand a side surface area with a
cutting off wheel. Cutting-off wheels are
designed for removing material with the edge
of the wheel. Applying lateral force to these
cutting-off wheels can cause them to break.
d) Always use undamaged clamping fl anges
of the correct size and shape for the
grinding/sanding wheel you have selec-
ted. Suitable fl anges support the grinding/
sanding wheel and thus reduce the risk of the
grinding/sanding wheel breaking. Flanges for
cutting-off wheels may diff er from the fl anges
for other grinding/sanding wheels.
e) Do not used worn grinding/sanding
wheels from larger electric tools. Grinding/
sanding wheels for larger electric tools are
not designed for the higher speeds of smaller
electric tools and may break.
f) Off set grinding wheels must be fi tted
such that their grinding face does not
project beyond the level of the guard
hood edge. An incorrectly fi tted grinding
wheel that projects beyond the level of the
guard hood edge cannot be adequately shiel-
ded.

Other special safety information for cutting-
off wheels
a) Avoid blocking the cutting-off wheel or
applying excessive contact pressure.
Do not make any excessively deep cuts.
Overloading the cutting-off wheel will increa-
se the stress on it and its susceptibility to jam
or block and therefore the possibility of recoil
or of the grinding wheel breaking.
b) Avoid the area in front of and behind the
rotating cutting-off wheel. If you move the
cutting-off wheel in the workpiece away from
yourself, in the event of recoil the electric tool
and the rotating wheel may be catapulted
directlytowards you.
c) If the cutting-off wheel jams or you inter-
rupt your work, switch off the tool and
hold it still until the wheel has reached a
complete standstill. Never attempt to pull
the cuttingoff wheel out of the cut whilst
it is still rotating, otherwise it may suff er
recoil. Find and rectify the cause of the jam.
d) Do not switch the electric tool on again
whilst it is inside the workpiece. Allow
the cuttingoff disk to reach its full speed
before you continue the cut with care.
Otherwise the wheel may catch, jump out of
the workpiece or cause recoil.
e) Support panels or large workpieces to
reduce the risk of recoil by a jammed
cuttingoff wheel. Large workpieces may sag
under their own weight. The workpiece must
be supported on both sides of the wheel both
near the cut and also at the edge.
f) Be particularly careful with "pocket cuts"
in existing walls or in areas which you
cannot see clearly. As the cutting-off disk
enters the cut it may suff er recoil if it cuts into
gas or water pipes, electric cables or other
objects.
Do not lose these safety instructions.
