Safety warnings specific for sanding 
operations
f
Do not use excessively oversized sanding 
disc paper. Follow manufacturer’s recom-
mendations, 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.
Safety warnings specific for wire brush-
ing operations
f
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by 
the brush even during ordinary operation. 
Do not overstress the wires by applying ex-
cessive load to the brush. 
The wire bristles 
can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
f
If the use of a guard is recommended 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.
Additional safety warnings
Wear safety goggles.
f
Use suitable detectors to determine if utility 
lines are hidden in the work area or call the 
local utility company for assistance. 
Contact 
with electric lines can lead to fire and electric 
shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explo-
sion. Penetrating a water line causes property 
damage or may cause an electric shock.
f
Release the On/Off switch and set it to the 
off position when the power supply is inter-
rupted, e. g., in case of a power failure or 
when the mains plug is pulled. 
This prevents 
uncontrolled restarting.
f
When working stone, use dust extraction. 
The vacuum cleaner must be approved for 
the extraction of stone dust. 
Using this 
equipment reduces dust-related hazards.
f
Use a cutting guide when cutting stone. 
Without sideward guidance, the cutting disc 
can jam and cause kickback.
f
When working with the power tool, always 
hold it firmly with both hands and provide 
for a secure stance. 
The power tool is guided 
more secure with both hands.
f
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped 
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more 
secure than by hand.
f
Keep your workplace clean. Blends of mate-
rials are particularly dangerous. Dust from 
light alloys can burn or explode.
f
Do not use the power tool with a damaged 
cord. Do not touch the damaged cord and 
pull the plug from the outlet when the cord 
is damaged while working. 
Damaged cords 
increase the risk of an electric shock.
Functional Description
Read all safety warnings and all in-
structions. 
Failure to follow the 
warnings and instructions may result 
in electric shock, fire and/or serious 
injury.
While reading the operating instructions, unfold 
the graphics page for the tool and leave it open.
Intended Use
The power tool is intended for cutting, roughing, 
and brushing metal and stone materials without 
using water.
For cutting metal, a special protection guard for 
cutting (accessory) must be used.
For cutting stone, a special extraction hood for 
cutting with cutting guide (accessory) must be 
used.
With approved sanding tools, the machine can be 
used for sanding with sanding discs.
