Do not position your body in the area where 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.
Use special care when working corners, sharp edges,
etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory.
Cor-
ners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag
the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kick-
back.
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or
toothed saw blade.
Such blades create frequent kick-
back and loss of control over the power tool.
Safety warnings specific for grinding and abra-
sive cutting-off operations
Use only wheel types that are recommended for your
power tool and the specific guard designed for the
selected wheel.
Wheels for which the power tool was
not designed cannot be adequately guarded and are
unsafe.
The grinding surface of the centre depressed wheels
must be mounted below the plane of the guard lip.
An
improperly mounted wheel that projects through the
plane of the guard lip cannot be adequately protected.
The guard must be securely attached to the power tool
and positioned for maximum safety, so the least
amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator.
The
guard helps to protect operator from broken wheel
fragments, accidental contact with wheel and sparks
that could ignite clothing.
Wheels must be used only for recommended applica-
tions. For example: do not grind with the side of the cut-
off wheel.
Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for
peripheral grinding; side forces applied to these wheels
may cause them to shatter.
Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of cor-
rect size and shape for your selected wheel.
Proper
wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the pos-
sibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels
may be different from grinding wheel flanges.
Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools.
Wheels intended for larger power tools are not suita-
ble for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
Additional safety warnings specific for abrasive
cutting off operations
Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pres-
sure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut.
Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and sus-
ceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut
and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
Do not position your body in line with and behind the
rotating wheel.
When the wheel, at the point of oper-
ation, is moving away from your body, the possible
kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power
tool directly at you.
When wheel is binding 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 com-
plete 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 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 minimize
the risk of wheel pinching and kickback.
Large work-
pieces 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
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
Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper.
Follow manufacturers recommendations, when select-
ing 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 wire brushing oper-
ations
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 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.
Further safety warnings
Do not wear easily flammable clothing. Sparks could
cause such clothing to ignite.
Use elastic spacers/liners when these are provided with
the grinding accessory.
Offset grinding discs must be mounted in such a man-
ner that their grinding surface is 2 mm below the bot-
tom edge the of the wheel guard.
Grinding accessories
that do not meet these requirements cannot be ade-
quately covered off and are not permitted.
Make sure that the application tools are mounted in
accordance with the manufacturers instructions. The
mounted application tools must be able to rotate freely.
Incorrectly mounted application tools can become
loose during operation and be thrown from the
machine.
Handle grinding accessories carefully and store them
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Damaged
grinding accessories can develop cracks and burst dur-
ing operation.
