4.1 Safety Warnings Common for Grinding,

Sanding, Wire Brushing or Cutting-Off Operations: a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander, wire brush, hole cutter or cut- off tool. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. b) Operations such as polishing are not to be performed with this power tool. Operations for which the power tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury. c) Do not convert this power tool to operate in a way which is not specifically designed and specified by the tool manufacturer. Such a conversion may result in a loss of control and cause serious personal injury. d) Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and specified by the tool manufacturer. Just because an accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation. e) The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart. f) The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled. g) The dimensions of the accessory mounting must fit the dimensions of the mounting hardware of the power tool. Accessories that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control. h) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If the power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating accessory and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this test time.

i) Wear personal protective equipment.

Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high- intensity noise may cause hearing loss. j) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of the workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly

away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation. k) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock. l) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory. m) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control. n) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body. o) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards. p) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials. q) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.

4.2 Kickback and related warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad. brush or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory, which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation at the point of the binding. For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kickback. The wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions. Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below. a) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the power tool and position your body and arms to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use the auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken. b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand. c) Do not position your body in the area where the power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging. d) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback. e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade, segmented diamond wheel with a peripheral gap greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.

4.3 Safety warnings specific for grinding and

cutting-off operations: a) Use only wheel types that are specified for your power tool and the specific guard designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe. b) The grinding surface of centre depressed wheels must be mounted below the plane of the guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel that projects through the plane of the guard lip cannot be adequately protected. c) The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator. The guard helps to protect the operator from broken wheel fragments, accidental contact with wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing. d) Wheels must be used only for specified applications. For example: do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter. e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges. f) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools. Wheels intended for larger power tools are not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst. g) When using dual purpose wheels always use the correct guard for the application being performed. Failure to use the correct guard may not provide the desired level of guarding, which could lead to serious injury.

4.4 Additional safety warnings specific for

cutting-off operations: a) Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessively deep cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.ENGLISH en

b) Do not position your body in line with and behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation, is moving away from your body, the possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you. c) When the wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold it motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding. d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece. e) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel. f) Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback. g) Do not attempt to do curved cutting. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage, which can lead to serious injury.

4.5 Safety warnings specific for sanding

operations: a) Use proper sized sanding disc paper. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations, when selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending too far beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.

4.6 Safety warnings specific for wire

brushing operations: 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 specified 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.

4.7 Additional Safety Instructions:

WARNING – Always wear protective goggles. Use elastic cushioning layers if they have been supplied with the grinding media and if required. WARNING – Always wear protective goggles. Wear ear protectors. WARNING – Always operate the power tool with two hands. Do not use the guard for cutting-off operations. When working with cut-off wheels, always use the parting safety guard for safety reasons. Do not use any segmented diamond cut-off wheels with segment slits >10 mm. Only negative segment cutting angles are permitted. Use bonded cut-off wheels only if these are reinforced. Use elastic cushioning layers if they have been supplied with the sanding media and if required. Observe the specifications of the tool or accessory manufacturer! Protect wheels from grease or impact! Accessories must be stored and handled with care in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Never use cut-off wheels for roughing work or deburring! Do not apply pressure to the side of the cut-off wheels. The workpiece must lay flat and be secured against slipping, e.g. using clamps. Large workpieces must be sufficiently supported. If accessories with threaded inserts are used, the end of the spindle may not touch the base of the hole on the grinding tool. Make sure that the thread in the accessory is long enough to accommodate the full length of the spindle. The thread in the accessory must match the thread on the spindle. See page 3 and chapter 14. Technical Specifications for more information on the spindle length and thread. Use of a suitable fixed extractor system is recommended. Always install an RCD with a maximum trip current of 30 mA upstream. If the angle grinder is shut down via the GFCI, it must be checked and cleaned. See chapter 9. Cleaning. Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools must not be used. Avoid damage to gas or water pipes, electrical cables and load-bearing walls (static). Pull the plug out of the socket before making any adjustments, converting or servicing the machine. A damaged or cracked additional handle must be replaced. Never operate a machine with a defective additional handle. A damaged or cracked safety guard must be replaced. Never operate a machine with a defective safety guard. Do not switch on the machine if tool parts or guard devices are missing or defective.ENGLISHen

Machines with a soft start (indicated by "WE" in the model designation): An electronic error occurs if the machine accelerates to maximum speed very quickly when switched on. Other safety-related electronic functions are no longer available. Have the machine repaired immediately (see 12.). Secure small workpieces. For example, clamp in a vice. When using dual-purpose (combined grinding and cut-off wheels), only the following guard types must be used: type A, type C. See chapter 11. Using the correct guard: Using an incorrect guard can lead to loss of control and serious injuries. Examples for incorrect use: - when using a type A guard for lateral grinding, the guard may interfere with the workpiece causing poor control. - when using a type B guard for cutting-off operations with bonded cut-off wheels, there is an increased risk of exposure to emitted sparks and particles, as well as exposure to wheel fragments in the event of a wheel burst. - when using a type A, B, C guard for cutting-off operations or lateral grinding in concrete or masonry, there is an increased risk of exposure to dust and loss of control resulting in kickback. - when using a type A, B, C guard with a wheel-type wire brush with a thickness greater than the maximum permitted thickness, the wires may catch on the guard leading to breaking of the wires. Always use the matching guard for the accessory. See chapter 11. Reducing dust exposure: WARNING - Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: - Lead from lead-based paints, - crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and - arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals,work in a well- ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. This also applies to dust from other materials, such as some timber types (like oak or beech dust), metals, asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g. allergic reactions, respiratory diseases. Do not let dust enter the body. Observe the relevant guidelines and national regulations for your material, staff, application and place of application (e.g. occupational health and safety regulations, disposal). Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid deposits in the surrounding area. Use suitable accessories for special work. In this way, fewer particles enter the environment in an uncontrolled manner. Use a suitable extraction unit. Reduce dust exposure with the following measures: - do not direct the escaping particles and the exhaust air stream towards yourself or nearby persons or towards dust deposits, - use an extraction unit and/or an air purifier, - ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep it clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or blowing stirs up dust. - Vacuum or wash protective clothing. Do not blow, beat or brush protective gear. See page 2. 1"Quick"clamping nut * 2Support flange * 3Spindle 4W...

8.2 Working Directions

Grinding: Press down the machine evenly on the surface and move back and forth so that the surface of the workpiece does not become too hot. Rough grinding: position the machine at an angle of 30° - 40° for the best working results. Cutting-off operations: Always work against the run of the disc (see illustration). Otherwise there is the danger of the machine kicking back from the cut out of control. Guide the machine evenly at a speed suitable for the material being processed. Do not tilt, apply excessive force or sway from side to side. Sanding: Press down the machine evenly on the surface and move back and forth so that the surface of the workpiece does not become too hot. Wire brushing: Press down the machine evenly. Particles may become deposited inside the power tool during operation. This impairs the cooling of the power tool. Conductive build-up can impair the protective insulation of the power tool and create an electrical hazard. The power tool should be cleaned regularly, often and thoroughly through all front and rear air vents using a vacuum cleaner or by blowing in dry air. Prior to this operation, separate the power tool from the power source and wear protective glasses and suitable dust mask. Ensure appropriate suction is available when blowing out vents. Button (10) for adjusting the handle: Occasionally blow compressed air through the button (when pressed, in all 3 main handle positions). Prior to this operation, separate the power tool from the power source and wear protective glasses and dust mask. Machine with "WE..." in the model designation: - Overload protection: The electronic signal display (6) lights up and the load speed decreases dramatically. The motor temperature is too high! Run the machine in idling until it cools down and the electronic signal display switches off. - Overload protection: The electronic signal display (6) lights up and the load speed decreases slightly. The machine is overloaded. Work with a reduced load until the electronic signal display goes out. - Electronic safety stop: The electronic signal display (6) lights up and the machine was SWITCHED OFF automatically. If the slew rate of the current is too high (for example, if the machine suddenly seizes or kickback occurs), the machine switches off. Switch off the machine at the trigger switch (9). Switch it on again and continue to work as normal. Try to prevent the machine from seizing. See Section 4.2. - Restart protection: The electronic signal display (6) FLASHES and the machine does not start. The restart protection is active. If the mains plug is inserted with the machine switched on, or if the power supply is restored following an interruption, the machine does not start up. Switch the machine off and on again.

- When switched on, the machine accelerates to maximum speed very quickly, i.e. automatic restriction of the starting current does not work (soft start). An electronic error exists. Other safety-related electronic functions are no longer available. Have the machine repaired immediately (see 12.).
