Cutting-off wheels are designed to remove
material with the edge of the wheel.
If a lateral force is applied to these sanding
tools, they may shatter.
Always use undamaged clamping flanges

in the correct size and shape for the
grinding disc you have selected.
Suitable flanges support the grinding
disc and therefore reduce the risk of the
grinding disc breaking. Flanges for cutting-
off wheels may differ from the flanges for
other grinding discs.
Do not use worn grinding discs from larger

electric power tools.
Grinding discs for larger electric power
tools are not designed for the higher
speeds of smaller electric power tools and
may break.
Special safety instructions for cut-off
grinding:
Avoid blocking the cutting-off wheel or

exerting too high contact pressure.
Do not make excessively deep cuts.
Overloading the cutting-off wheel
increases its stress and the susceptibility
to twisting or blocking and therefore the
possibility of a kickback or the grinding tool
breaking.
Avoid the area in front of and behind the

rotating cutting-off wheel.
When you move the cutting-off wheel
in the workpiece away from yourself,
a kickback may cause the electric power
tool and rotating wheel to be ejected
directly towards you.
If the cutting-off wheel jams or you

interrupt work, switch the power tool off
and hold it steady until the wheel has
come to a standstill.
Never attempt to pull the still rotating
cutting-off wheel out of the cut, otherwise
a kickback may occur. Establish and
eliminate the cause of the jam.
Do not switch the electric power tool on

again while it is in the workpiece. First let
the cutting-off wheel reach full speed
before you carefully continue cutting.
Otherwise, the wheel may jam, jump out of
the workpiece or cause a kickback.
16
Be particularly careful when making

"pocket cuts" in existing walls or other
secluded areas.
When the cutting-off wheel is inserted,
it may cause a kickback if it cuts into gas
or water lines, electric cables or other
objects.
Support plates or large workpieces to

prevent the risk of a kickback due to the
cutting-off wheel jamming.
Large workpieces may sag under their
own weight. The workpiece must be
supported on both sides of the wheel,
namely near the separating cut and along
the edge.
Special safety instructions for sanding
(L 3406 VRG):
Do not use excessively oversized sanding

disc paper. Follow manufacturers
recommendations, when selecting
sanding paper.
Larger sanding paper extending beyond
the sanding pad presents a laceration
hazard and may cause snagging, tearing
of the disc or kickback.
Special safety instructions for polishing
(L 3406 VRG):
Do not allow any loose portion of the

polishing bonnet or its attachment strings
to spin freely. Tuck away or trim any loose
attachment strings.
Loose and spinning attachment strings
can entangle your fingers or snag on the
workpiece.
Special safety instructions when working
with wire brushes (L 3406 VRG):
Note that the wire brush loses pieces of

wire even under normal conditions of use.
Do not overload the wires by applying
excess contact pressure.
Ejected pieces of wire can penetrate thin
clothing and/or skin very easily.
If a guard is recommended, prevent the

guard and wire brush from touching each
other.
The diameter of plates and cup brushes
may increase due to contact pressure and
centrifugal forces.
