1.3. Other safety information
Recoil is the sudden reaction as a result of a jammed or blocked polishing
disk. Jamming or blocking leads to an abrupt stop of the rotating disk. This
causes acceleration of any uncontrolled electric tools rotating in the opposite
direction to the polishing disk at the point of blockage.
Recoil is the result of incorrect or wrong use of the electric tool. It can be
prevented by suitable precautions, as described below.
a) Hold the electric tool securely and move your body and your arms into a
position in which you can absorb the force created by the recoil. Always
use the additional handle (if there is one) to give you the maximum
possible control over recoil forces or reaction moments whilst the car tool
is operating at full speed.
b) Never move your hand into the vicinity of the polishing disk.
c) Keep your body out the area into which the car tool will be moved if it
suffers recoil.
d) Work with particular care around corners, sharp edges, etc.
