e) Do not use chains or toothed chain or toothed
saw blade. Such tools often cause a kickback or
loss of control of the power tool.
Safety notes regarding grinding with sandpaper
a) Do not use oversized abrasive sheets; al-
ways observe the manufacturer‘s specifica -
tions for abrasive sheet dimensions.
Abrasive sheets protruding the grinding plate
may cause injury or result in the blocking or tear-
ing apart of the abrasive sheet or in kickbacks.
Additional safety notes
a) Connect a vacuum cleaner to the supplied
adapter before starting your operations.
b) Attention! Keep away grinding dust from open
Iire. Dust may be explosive.
c) Always wear goggles and a dust mask when
grinding, in particular du ring overhead work
and when processing critical materials!
When grinding certain materials (e .g.lead paint,
certain types of wood and metaI) harmful or nox
-
ious dust may be generated. Touching or breath-
ing in such dust may imply risks for the operator
or people in the vicinity.
Notes regarding vibration and noise emissions
Reduce noise emissions and vibrations to a mini-
mum!
1. Only use power tools which are free of defects.
2. Maintain and clean the power tool on a regular
basis.
3. Adjust your way of working to the power tool.
4. Do not overload your power tool.
5. Have your power tool inspected, if necessary.
6. Switch off the power tool when it is not in use.
Remaining risks
Even if you use this power tool in compliance with the
regulations, there are still remaining risks. The follow-
ing risks may occur due to the type and design of the
power tool:
a) Damage caused to your health resulting from
hand/arm vibrations if the power tool is used over
a Ionger period of time or if it is not properly used
and maintained.
b) Injury and damage to property caused by flying
off insertion tools which are unexpectedly ex -
pelled from the power tool due to sudden dam-
age, wear or incorrect insertion.
c) Burns and cuts if the insertion tools are touched
directly after use and/or with your bare hands.
m
WARNING! This electric tool generates an
electromagnetic field during operation. This field
can impair active or passive medical implants
under certain conditions. In order to prevent the
risk of serious or deadly injuries, we recommend
that persons with medical implants consult with
their physician and the manufacturer of the medical
implant prior to operating the electric tool.
m) Switch oft the power tool while you carry it
around.
Your clothes may be trapped when unintentionally
getting in contact with the rotating insertion tool
and the insertion tool may penetrate your body.
n) The ventilation slots of your power tool must
be cleaned on a regular basis.
The motor fan sucks in dust, and the accumula-
tion of metal dust may cause electrical risks.
o) Do not use the power tool in the vicinity of
inflammable materials.
Sparks may ignite these materials.
p) Do not use insertion tools which require liq-
uid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may cause
electric shock.
Further safety notes for all applications &
kickback
A kickback is the sudden reaction caused by rotating in-
sertion tools such as a grinding disk, grinding plate, wire
brush, etc. which has got caught or which blocks. Getting
caught or blocking results in the immediate stop of the
rotating insertion tool. This accelerates the uncontrolled
power tool against the rotary direction of the insertion tool.
lf for example a grinding disk gets caught or blocks
in the work piece, the edge of the grinding disk which
penetrates the work piece may get caught, the grind-
ing disk will make a sudden movement or cause a
kickback. As a result, the grinding disk moves towards
the operator or away from the operator, depending on
the rotary direction of the disk when it blocks. This
may also cause the fracture of grinding disks.
Kickbacks are the result of the improper or incorrect
use of power tools.
Kickbacks can be avoided when observing the follow-
ing precautionary measures.
a) Hold the power tool firmly in your hands and bring
your body and arms in a position which allows
you to adequately react to kickback forces. Al-
ways use the additional handle, if available. This
ensures you the utmost control of kickback forc-
es or reaction torques when starting your power
tool. When taking appropriate precautions, the
operator is in the position to control kickback and
reaction forces.
b) Keep your hands away from rotating insertion
tools. The insertion tool may move over your
hand in the event of a kickback.
c) Keep your body away from the area where the
power tool may move in the event of a kickback.
Kickbacks always move the power tool in op-
posite direction to the movement of the grinding
disk at the spot where it blocks.
d) Corners, sharp edges, etc. must be processed
with special care. Make sure that the insertion
tool does not bounce back from or get trapped
on the work piece. The rotating insertion tool
tends to jam in corners, at sharp edges or when
it bounces back. This may cause the loss of con-
trol or a kickback.
