either jump toward or away from the operator,
depending on direction of the wheel’s movement
at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may
also break under these conditions. Kickback is
the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given
below.
a. Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arm to allow you
to resist kickback forces.
The operator can
control kickback forces, if proper precautions
are taken.
b. Use special care when working corners,
sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and
snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp
edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag
the rotating accessory and cause loss of
control or kickback.
c. Do not attach a toothed saw blade. Such
blades create frequent kickback and loss of
control.
d. Always feed the bit into the material in
the same direction as the cutting edge
is exiting from the material (which is the
same direction as the chips are thrown).
Feeding the tool in the wrong direction causes
the cutting edge of the bit to climb out of the
work and pull the tool in the direction of this
feed.
e. When using rotary files, cut-off wheels,
high-speed cutters or tungsten carbide
cutters, always have the work securely
clamped. These wheels will grab if they
become slightly canted in the groove, and can
kickback. When a cut-off wheel grabs, the
wheel itself usually breaks. When a rotary file,
high-speed cutter or tungsten carbide cutter
grabs, it may jump from the groove and you
could lose control of the tool.
f. Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory. The accessory may kickback over
your hand.
g. Do not position your body in the area
where the power tool will move if kickback
occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in
direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at
the point of snagging.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR
GRINDING AND ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF
OPERATIONS
a. Use only wheel types that are
recommended for your power tool and
only for recommended applications. For
example: do not grind with the side of a
cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are
intended for peripheral grinding. Side forces
applied to these wheels may cause them to
shatter.
b. For threaded abrasive cones and plugs
use only undamaged wheel mandrels with
an unrelieved shoulder flange that are of
correct size and length. Proper mandrels
will reduce the possibility of breakage.
c. Do not “jam” a cut-off wheel or apply
excessive pressure. Do not attempt
to make an excessive depth of cut.
Overstressing the wheel increases the loading
and susceptibility to twisting or snagging of
the wheel in the cut and the possibility of
kickback or wheel breakage.
d. Do not position your hand in line with and
behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel,
at the point of operation, is moving away from
your hand, the possible kickback may propel
the spinning wheel and the power tool directly
at you.
e. When wheel is pinched, snagged or when
interrupting a cut for any reason, switch
off the power tool and hold the power
tool motionless until the wheel comes to
a complete stop. Never attempt to remove
the cut-off wheel from the cut while the
wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may
occur. Investigate and take corrective action
to eliminate the cause of wheel pinching or
snagging.
f. 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.
g. Support panels or any oversized
workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel
pinching and kickback. Large workpieces
tend to snag 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.
h. Use extra caution when making a “pocket
cut” into existing 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
a. Do not use excessively oversized
sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturers
recommendations, 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 OPERATIONS
a. Do not allow any loose portion of the
polishing bonnet or its attachment strings
to spin freely. Tuck away or trim any loose
attachment strings. Loose and spinning
attachment strings can entangle your fingers
or snag on the workpiece.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR
WIRE BRUSHING OPERATIONS
a. 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.
b. Allow brushes to run at operating speed
for at least one minute before using them.
During this time no one is to stand in front
or in line with the brush. Loose bristles or
wires will be discharged during the run-in
time.
c. Direct the discharge of the spinning wire
brush away from you. Small particles and
tiny wire fragments may be discharged at high
velocity during the use of these brushes and
may become imbedded in your skin.
d. 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.
e. Do not exceed 15000 min
–1
when using
wire brushes.

ENVIRONMENT
DISPOSAL
The machine, accessories and packaging should
be sorted for environmental-friendly recycling.
ONLY FOR EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
Do not dispose of power tools into
household waste!
According the European Guideline
