Start-up
- Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the power source must match the voltage specified on the rating plate of the power tool.
- Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a residual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current of 30 mA or less.
- Check the cutting disc before using it. The cutting disc must be fitted properly and be able to rotate freely. Carry out a test run for at least 30 seconds with no load. Do not use cutting discs that are damaged, run untrue or vibrate during use. Damaged cutting discs can shatter and cause injuries.
The dust from materials such as lead paint, minerals and metal can be harmful to human health. Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reactions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in people in the near vicinity.
Certain kinds of metal dust are hazardous, especially in combination with alloys such as zinc, aluminium or chrome. Materials containing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.
- Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
- It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
The regulations on the materials being machined that apply in the country of use must be observed.
The cutting disc can become blocked by dust, chips or fragments of the workpiece in the recess of the base plate (11).
- Switch the power tool off and pull the mains plug out of the socket.
- Wait until the cutting disc has come to a complete stop.
- Tilt the power tool backwards so that small pieces of the workpiece can fall out of the opening designed for this purpose.
If necessary, use a suitable tool to remove all the pieces of workpiece.
- Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can easily ignite.
Position of the operator (see figure F)
- Do not stand in front of the power tool in line with the cutting disc. Always stand to the side of the cutting disc. If the cutting disc breaks, your body is more protected from possible splinters in this position.
Switching on/off
- To start the tool, press the on/off switch (2) and keep it pressed.
- To switch off, release the on/off switch (2).
