the power tool.
• Do not run the tool while carrying it next
to you. Unintentional contact with the
rotating accessory can cause it to catch in
your clothes and pull it towards your body.
• Clean the ventilation grilles on the tool at
regular intervals. The motor fan sucks dust
into the tool casing and the accumulation
of metal powder can result in the risk of
electric shock.
• Do not use the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks can ignite
these materials.
• Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. The use of water or other liquid
coolants can cause an electric shock.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Kickback and other warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction when a rotating
disc, backing pad, brush or other accessory
jams or catches on something. Jamming or
catching will cause the rotating accessory to
block suddenly, which in turn can force the
power tool in the opposite direction to the
rotating accessory. For example, if a grinding
disc pinches or sticks in the workpiece, the
edge of the disc that goes in at the sticking
point could dig into the material and cause
the disc to recoil and kick back. The disc can
jump either towards or away from the user,
depending on the direction of rotation of
the disc when it jams. Grinding discs can also
break in these situations. Kickback is a result
of the incorrect use of the power tool, and/or
incorrect procedures and working conditions.
Kickback can be avoided by observing the
safety measures described below:
– Keep a firm grip on the tool and
position your body and arm so you
can resist the force of a sudden
kickback. Always use the support
handle, if there is one, for maximum
control of the kickback or torque
response when starting the tool. The
user can control torque response and
kickback if the appropriate
precautions are taken.
– Never put your hands near the
rotating accessory. Kickback can
cause the accessory to touch your
hand.
– Keep your body away from the area
where the power tool will go if there
is a kickback. Kickback forces the tool
in the opposite direction to the
rotation of the disc.
– Take extra care when working on
corners and sharp edges, etc. Avoid
letting the accessory bounce or
catching. Corners, sharp edges and
bouncing can cause the rotating
accessory to catch and cause the user
to lose control of the tool, or cause it
to kick back.
SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR
GRINDING AND ABRASIVE CUTTING
• Use only the types of disc recommended
for your power tool and the specific guard
designed for your chosen disc. Discs that
the tool is not designed for cannot be
properly protected and are therefore not
safe.
• The grinding surface on discs with a
recessed centre must be fitted below the
plane of the protective flange. An
incorrectly fitted disc that projects through
the plane of the guard flange cannot be
properly protected.
• The guard must be firmly fixed to the
power tool and positioned for maximum
safety, so that the smallest possible part
of the disc is exposed to the user. The
guard helps to protect the user against
broken-off fragments of disc, accidental
contact with the disc, and sparks that
could set fire to clothing.
