STATUS SH 125 E UniOne 03052901 [8/60] Additional safety rules

b) Oset grinding discs must be tted so that the grinding surface does not protrude over

the level of the blade guard edge. An improperly tted grinding disc which protrudes over

the level of the blade guard edge cannot be properly guarded.

c) The blade guard must be securely mounted on the power tool and adjusted to ensure

maximum safety so that the smallest possible amount of the grinding tool is open to the

operator. The blade guard is designed to protect the operator from fragments, accidental

contact with the grinding tool and sparks that could ignite clothing.

d) Grinding tools should only be used for the recommended applications.

For example: Never grind with the side surface of a cutting disc. Cutting discs are designed

to remove material with the edge of the disc. Any lateral application of force on these

grinding tools can lead to a breakage.

e) Always use an undamaged clamping ange of the correct size and shape for the selected

grinding disc. Suitable anges support the grinding disc and reduce the risk of disc

breakage. Flanges for cutting discs can be dierent to anges for other grinding discs.

f) Do not use worn grinding discs from larger power tools. Grinding discs for larger power

tools are not designed for the higher rotational speeds of smaller power tools and can

break.

Additional special safety instructions for abrasive cutting

a) Avoid any blockage to the cutting disc or high contact pressure. Do not make any

excessively deep cuts. Overloading the cutting disc increases the stress and likelihood of

canting or blocking and thus the possibility of a kickback or a breakage of the grinding tool.

b) Avoid the area in front of and behind the rotating cutting disc. When you move the

cutting disc away from yourself in the workpiece, it is possible, in the event of a kickback,

that the electrical tool along with the rotating disc is thrown out directly towards you.

b) If the cutting disc jams or you stop working, switch the tool o and hold it steadily in

the workpiece until the disc has completely stopped turning. Never attempt to pull a

rotating cutting disc out of a cut. This could lead to kickback. Identify and remove the

cause of the jam.

d) Do not switch the power tool back on while it is located in the workpiece. Allow the

cutting disc to reach its full speed before you carefully continue the cut. Otherwise, the disc

can jam, jump out of the workpiece or cause a kickback.

e) Support boards or large workpieces to reduce the risk of the cutting disc jamming and

causing a kickback. Large workpieces can bend under their own weight. The workpiece

must be supported on both sides of the disc: both in the vicinity of the cutting disc and also

at the edge.

f) Be particularly careful when making pocket cuts into existing walls or other obscured

areas. The inserted cutting disc may cut into gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or other

objects that can cause kickback.
