[. . . ] Before reading, unfold both pages containing illustrations and familiarise yourself with all functions of the device. General safety advice for electrical power tools Careful handling and use of electrical power tools . The following pictograms are used in these operating instructions / on the device: Read instruction manual!Watts (effective power) Safety class II Wear hearing protection, dust protection mask, protective glasses and protective gloves. [. . . ] Abrasive consumables intended for larger electrical power tools are not designed for the faster rotational speeds of these smaller electrical power tools and could break. Further special safety advice for disc-cutting Special safety advice relating to grinding and disc-cutting A) Always use the guard designed for the type of abrasive consumable you are using. Always use abrasive consumables approved for use with your electrical power tool. Abrasive consumables not approved for use with your electrical power tool cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe. B) To ensure the highest level of operational safety, the disc guard cover must be attached to the electrical power tool and set in such a way that the smallest possible area of the abrasive consumable is exposed to the operator. The disc guard cover is there to protect the operator from pieces breaking off and accidental contact with the abrasive consumable. C) Abrasive consumables must be used only for their recommended purposes, For example: never grind with the A) Avoid snagging the cutting disc and do not use too much contact pressure. Overloading the cutting disc increases the load and the tendency of the disc to twist or snag in the cut, making kickback or disc breakage more likely. If the cutting disc is moving away from you at the point of constraint in the workpiece, then, in the event of a kickback, the electrical power tool and the rotating disc may be thrown towards you. C) If the cutting disc jams or you stop work for a while, switch the device off and hold it until the disc comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to pull the still rotating cutting disc out of the cut as this could cause kickback. Allow the cutting disc to reach full speed before carefully continuing with the cut. Otherwise the disc could snag, jump out of the workpiece or cause a kickback. General safety advice for electrical power tools e) Support boards or workpieces whilst cutting to reduce the risk of kickback caused by a jammed cutting disc. The workpiece must be supported to both sides of the cutting disc and particularly near the cutting disc and at the workpiece edge. F) Be particularly careful when pocket cutting in existing walls or other areas where you cannot see what you are cutting into. The cutting disc plunged into the surface could cut through gas or water pipes, electricity cables or other objects and cause kickback. The diameters of disc brushes and cup brushes can increase due to contact pressure and centripetal forces. Do not touch the mains lead if it becomes damaged or cut through while you are using the device. Pull the plug out of the mains socket immediately and have the device repaired by a suitably qualified person or at your service centre. Do not operate the device if it is damp and do not use it in a damp environment. If you use the device outdoors, always connect it through a residual current device (RCD) with a maximum trip current of 30 mA. [. . . ] NOTE: Replace a new disc immediately if it runs unevenly or vibrates after being exchanged. 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). Note: Always switch on the angle grinder before bringing it into contact with the workpiece material. [. . . ]
