j) Hold the power tool only by the insulated
gripping surfaces when performing an opera-
tion where the accessory tool may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a
live cable may also cause metal parts of the
appliance to become live and may result in an
electric shock.
k) Always hold the power tool firmly. When
running up to full speed, the torque of the
motor can cause the power tool to twist.
l) If possible, use clamps to hold the workpiece
in position. Never hold a small workpiece in
one hand and the power tool in the other
while you are using it.
By clamping small work-
pieces, you keep both hands free for better
control of the power tool. When cutting round
workpieces such as dowels, rods or pipes, be
aware that these can roll away and this can
cause the tool to jam and be thrown towards
you.
m) Hold the power cord away from any rotating
accessories.
If you lose control of the appli-
ance, the cord may get cut or caught and your
hand or arm could get caught in the rotating
accessory tool.
n) Never put the power tool down until the
accessory tool has come to a complete stand-
still.
The rotating accessory tool could come
into contact with the surface and cause you to
lose control of the power tool.
o)
When changing accessory tools or changing
settings, tighten the collet nut, the chuck or
other fixing elements tightly.
Loose fastening
elements can shift unexpectedly and lead to
loss of control; unsecured, rotating components
will fly off violently.
p) Do not leave the power tool running whilst
carrying it.
Accidental contact between your
clothing and the rotating accessory tool could
lead to a physical injury.
q) Clean the ventilation slits of your power tool
regularly.
The engine fan draws dust into the
housing and a strong accumulation of metal
dust can cause electrical hazards.
r) Do not use the power tool in the vicinity of flam-
mable materials.
Sparks can ignite such materials.
s) Do not use any accessory tools which require
liquid coolant.
The use of water or other liquid
coolants may lead to an electric shock.

for all applications
Kickback and corresponding safety
instructions
Kickback is a sudden reaction caused when a
rotating accessory tool, e.g. grinding disc, abrasive
band, wire brush, etc. catches or jams. Catching
or jamming leads to an abrupt stop of the rotating
accessory tool. If this happens, an uncontrolled
power tool will turn rapidly against the direction
of rotation of the accessory tool.
If, for example, a grinding disc catches or jams, the
edge of the grinding disc that is projecting into the
workpiece can get caught and break off the grind-
ing disc or cause a kickback. The grinding disc can
then fly in the direction of the operator or away
from him, depending on the direction of rotation of
the disc at the blockage. This can also break grind-
ing discs.
A kickback is caused by incorrect use or misuse
of the power tool. This can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as described below.
a)
Hold the power tool firmly in both hands and
position your body and arms so they can
absorb the force of a kickback.
By taking
adequate precautions, the operator can stay in
control of the kickback forces.
b) Take special care when working around
corners, sharp edges, etc. Avoid allowing the
accessory tool to bounce back from the work-
piece or jam in the workpiece.
The rotating
accessory tool is more likely to jam in corners or
sharp edges or if it rebounds off them. This can
cause a loss of control or kickback.
