Page 15 GB/IE/CY 5 Introduction The following pictogrammes / symbols are used in these operating instructions: Read the operating instructions! W Watts (effective power) Always heed warning labels and safety instructions!Hazardous voltage ­ danger to life! Protection category II power tool; double insulated Wear hearing protection, dust protection mask, protective glasses and protective gloves. Explosive material! Keep children and other unauthorised personnel at a safe distance when using electrical tools. Water entering an electrical device increases the risk of electric shock. [. . . ] J Do not work in areas where there may be concealed electricity cables or gas or water pipes. Penetration of a water pipe can lead to property damage or to electric shock. For this reason, always make sure that nobody is placed in any danger and that there are no inflammable materials near the working area. Working with harmful / noxious dusts represents a risk to the health of the person operating the device and to anyone near the working area. 10 GB/IE/CY J Wear hearing protection, protective glasses, a dust protection mask and protective gloves. J For longer periods of cutting or grinding wood, metal or stone materials that give rise to dusts that are hazardous to health, connect the device to a suitable external vacuum dust extraction device. J Connect a suitable vacuum dust extraction device when you are working on stone or masonry. The vacuum dust extraction device must be one approved for use with stone dusts. Machining metal can result in electrically conductive dust being deposited inside the device. In these circumstances the inside of the motor compartment must be blown out at frequent intervals with compressed air, vacuum dust extraction used and the device operated through a residual current device (RCD) with a maximum trip current of 30 mA. J Ensure that there is adequate ventilation when machining surfaces containing plastic or covered with paint, varnish etc. J Do not soak the materials or the surface you are about to work on with liquids containing solvents. The heat generated during abrasion can give rise to poisonous vapours or gases that are hazardous to health. J Wear close-fitting clothing and keep long hair inside a hairnet or suitable headwear. J For safety reasons this tool must always be used with the auxiliary handle in place. J The adjustable disc guard cover must always be in place when working with roughing / grinding or cutting discs. J Use the vacuum dust extraction facility if your work generates large amounts of dust. Use vacuum dust extraction devices particularly approved for the purpose. Check that the speed given on the discs is greater than or equal to the rated no-load speed of the device. J Ensure that the dimensions of the abrasive consumable or tool matches the grinder. J Take note of the direction of rotation and always J Safety hold the device in such a way that the sparks and grinding debris are thrown away from your body. Make sure that the dimensions of the disc are suitable for the device and that the disc is of a type that fits properly on to the mounting flange. Avoid abrading paints containing lead or other substances hazardous to health. [. . . ] After replacing a disc let the device run under no-load conditions for 30 seconds as a safety check. Pay attention to see that the arrow showing the direction of rotation on the roughing / grinding or cutting discs (including diamond cutting discs) corresponds with the direction of rotation of the device (see arrow on the head of the device). j Q Attaching the auxiliary handle m Caution!For safety reasons this device must always be used with the auxiliary handle 6 in place. J Pull the mains plug out of the mains socket before you carry out any task on the device. [. . . ]
