kickback may occur.

Investigate and take corrective ac-

tion to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.

Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece.
Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter
the cut.

The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the

power tool is restarted in the workpiece.

Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minim-
ize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback.

Large

workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports
must be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut
and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the
wheel.

Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into ex-
isting walls or other blind areas.

The protruding wheel

may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects
that can cause kickback.

Safety Warnings specific for Sanding operations

Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper.
Follow manufacturers recommendations, when select-
ing sanding paper.

Larger sanding paper extending bey-

ond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and
may cause snagging, tearing of the disc, or kickback.

Safety Warnings specific for Wire Brushing operations

Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush
even during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the
wires by applying excessive load to the brush

The wire

bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.

If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brush-
ing, 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 information

Wear safety goggles.

Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are
hidden in the work area or call the local utility com-
pany for assistance.

Contact with electric lines can lead

to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to
explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property dam-
age or may cause an electric shock.

Do not touch grinding and cutting discs until they have
cooled down.

The discs can become very hot while work-

ing.

Release the On/Off switch and set it to the off position
when the power supply is interrupted, e. g., in case of
a power failure or when the mains plug is pulled.

This

prevents uncontrolled restarting.

Secure the workpiece.

A workpiece clamped with

clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by
hand.

Products sold in GB only:

Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric
plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362).

If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be
cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an au-
thorised customer service agent. The replacement plug
should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible
shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains
socket elsewhere.
