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 warnings
a) Wear safety goggles. When working with the machine,
always hold it firmly with both hands and provide for a
secure stance. The power tool is guided more secure with both
hands.
b) Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping
devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
c) Do not work materials containing asbestos. Asbestos is
considered carcinogenic.
d) Take protective measures when dust can develop during
working that is harmful to one's health, combustible or
explosive. Example: Some dusts are regarded as carcinogenic.
Wear a dust mask and work with dust/chip extraction when
connectable.
e) Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials are particularly
dangerous. Dust from light alloys can burn or explode.
f) Never use the machine with a damaged cable. Do not touch
the damaged cable and pull the mains plug when the cable
is damaged while working. Damaged cables increase the risk
of an electric shock.
g) Connect machines that are used in the open via a residual
current device (RCD). Use suitable detectors to determine
if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local
utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can
lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to
explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or
may cause an electric shock.
h) When working stone, use dust extraction. The vacuum
cleaner must be approved for the extraction of stone dust.
Using this equipment reduces dust-related hazards.
i) Use a cutting guide when cutting stone. Without sideward
guidance, the cutting disc can jam and cause kickback.
Symbols
The following symbols can be important for the operation of your
power tool. Please memorise the symbols and their meanings. The
correct interpretation of the symbols helps you operate the power
tool better and more secure.
