4. When using the angle grinder with a cutting disc for cutting, never guide the angle grinder horizontally, but always cut vertically or diagonally
5. At the beginning of the work, the angle grinder should be started before the workpiece is touched with the disc.
   6 When working with the angle grinder, always wear safety glasses to protect your eyes. Further wearing of protective clothing such as gloves and hearing protection is also strongly recommended.
6. Always use a protective shield closed at the sides when working with abrasives.
7. Always use the auxiliary handle when working with the angle grinder.
8. Before touching the accessories after work is completed, allow them to cool down.
9. After work, please clean the spindle and all mounted parts. Attention: do not use water - the angle grinder can be seriously damaged.
