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 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 cor-
rective 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 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.
Safety warnings specific for sanding
operations
Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc
paper. Follow manufacturers recommenda-
tions, 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 kick-
back.
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
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
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.
This double-insulated power tool is equipped
with a polarized plug (one contact is wider
than the other). The plug will only fit into the
polarized socket outlet in one position. Turn
the plug if it does not fit completely into the
socket outlet. If the plug still does not fit, have
a qualified electrician install a polarized
socket outlet. Do not modify or alter the plug
under any circumstances.
Double-insulated
power tools neither require a three-core
mains cable nor a mains connection with
ground contact.
