Start-up
Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
u
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the charger. Chargers marked 230 V can
also be operated at 220 V.
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-
u
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.
Check the cutting disc before using it. The cutting disc
u
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 breath-
ing in this dust can trigger allergic reactions and/or cause
respiratory illnesses in the user or in people in the near vicin-
ity.
Certain kinds of metal dust are hazardous, especially in com-
bination with alloys such as zinc, aluminium or chrome. Ma-
terials containing asbestos may only be machined by special-
ists.
– 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.
