f
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary
handle, if provided, for maximum control
over kickback or torque reaction during
start-up.
The operator can control torque re-
actions or kickback forces, if proper precau-
tions are taken.
f
Never place your hand near the rotating ac-
cessory.
Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
f
Do not position your body in the area where
power tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in direction op-
posite to the wheel’s movement at the point
of snagging.
f
Use special care when working corners,
sharp edges, etc. Avoid bouncing and snag-
ging the accessory.
Corners, sharp edges or
bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotat-
ing accessory and cause loss of control or
kickback.
f
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving
blade or toothed saw blade.
Such blades
create frequent kickback and loss of control
over the power tool.
Safety warnings specific for sanding opera-
tions
f
Do not use excessively oversized sanding
disc paper. Follow manufacturers 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 polishing opera-
tions
f
Do not allow any loose portion of the polish-
ing bonnet or its attachment strings to spin
freely. Tuck away or trim any loose attach-
ment strings.
Loose and spinning attach-
ment strings can entangle your fingers or
snag on the workpiece.
Safety warnings specific for wire brushing
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 interfer-
ence 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 utili-
ty 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 explosion. 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
When working with the machine, 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.
