Additional safety rules for grinders
• Your grinder has been designed for grinding and
cutting masonry and steel.
Do not cut or grind light metal with a
magnesium content exceeding 80%
since this type of metal is flammable.
• Do not use any accessories other than fibre
reinforced grinding and cutting discs.
• Use the grinding and cutting discs recommended
by the manufacturer only.
• The max. allowable speed of the grinding wheel
or cutting disc must always be equal to or
greater than the no-load speed of the tool
specified on the nameplate.
• Do not cut workpieces requiring a maximum
depth of cut exceeding that of the cutting disc.
• Do not use grinding and cutting discs that do not
conform to the dimensions stated in the technical
data. Do not use any spacers to make a disc fit
onto the spindle.
• Inspect grinding and cutting discs before each
use. Do not use chipped, cracked or otherwise
defective discs.
• If provided, ensure that blotters are used when
the disc is fitted onto the spindle.
• When applying a threaded hole disc, ensure that
the thread is long enough to accept the spindle.
• Ensure that the grinding or cutting disc is
mounted correctly before use.
• Let the tool run at no-load in a safe position for at
