Delivery Scope

Special protection guards, application tools, and other accessories shown or described are not part of the standard delivery scope. A complete overview of accessories can be found in the accessories program.

Intended Use

The machine is intended for roughing metal, stone, and ceramic materials, and for drilling tiles.

For cutting with bonded abrasives, a special cutting guard (accessory) must be used.

When cutting stone, provide for sufficient dust extraction.

Together with the hand guard (accessory), the machine can be used for brushing and grinding/sanding with elastic sanding plates.

The machine is suitable only for working without water.

Technical Data and Noise/Vibration Information

The technical data and measured noise/vibration values are listed on pages 231-232 of the original manual. These values are typically valid for a nominal voltage of 230 V but may vary for different voltages or country-specific models.

The vibration emission level has been measured according to EN 60745 and can be used for comparison. It represents the main applications of the tool, but may differ based on application, accessories, or maintenance. Estimation of exposure should also consider times when the tool is not in use.

Additional safety measures to protect the operator from vibration effects include maintaining the tool and accessories, keeping hands warm, and organizing work patterns.
