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 kick-
back.
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 existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding wheel may cut gas or water
pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can
cause kickback.
Additional safety instructions for wire
brushing operations
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.
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.
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.
Further safety warnings
Use elastic spacers/liners when these are
provided with the grinding accessory.
Make sure that the application tools are
mounted in accordance with the manufactur-
ers 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 during opera-
tion.
When using application tools with a threaded
insert, take care that the thread in the appli-
cation tool is long enough to hold the spindle
length of the power tool. The thread in the
application tool must match the thread on the
spindle.
Incorrectly mounted application
tools can loosen during operation and cause
injuries.
Do not direct the power tool against yourself,
other persons or animals.
Danger of injury
from sharp or hot application tools.
Beware of any concealed electric cables, gas
or water conduits.
Check the working area
before commencing work, e. g. with a metal
detector.
Use a stationary extraction system, blow out
ventilation slots frequently and connect a
residual current device (RCD) on the line side.
When working metal under extreme operat-
ing conditions, it is possible for conductive
dust to settle in the interior of the power
tool. The total insulation of the power tool
can be impaired.
Do not rivet or screw any name-plates or
signs onto the power tool.
If the insulation is
damaged, protection against an electric shock
will be ineffective. Adhesive labels are recom-
mended.
Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory.
Accessory may kickback over
your hand.
Do not position your body in the area where
power tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kick-
back will propel the tool in direction opposite
to the wheel’s movement at the point of snag-
ging.
Always work with the auxiliary handle.
The
auxiliary handle ensures reliable guiding of
the power tool.
Before putting into operation, check the
power connection and the power plug for
damage.
Recommendation: The tool should always be
supplied with power via a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) with a rated current of
30 mA or less.
