Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or
any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes
rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in
turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be
forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’s
rotation at the point of the binding. For example,
if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the
workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering
into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the
material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out.
The wheel may either jump toward or away from
the operator, depending on direction of the wheel’s
movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive
wheels may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below.
a)
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary
handle, if provided, for maximum control over
kickback or torque reaction during startup.
The operator can control torque reactions or
kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b)
Never place your hand near the rotating acces
sory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
c)
Do not position your body in the area where
power tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite
to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.
d)
Use special care when working corners, sharp
edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the
accessory.
Corners, sharp edges or bouncing
have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory
and cause loss of control or kickback.
e)
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or
toothed saw blade.
Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control.
Electrical safety
Always check that the voltage of the power
supply corresponds to the voltage on the
rating plate.
• Do not use the machine if the mains cable or
the mains plug is damaged.
•
Only use extension cables that are suitable for
the power rating of the machine with a minimum
thickness of 1.5 mm

. If you use an extension
cable reel, always fully unroll the cable.

Vibration level
The vibration emission level stated in this instruc-
tion manual has been measured in accordance
with a standardized test given in EN 62841; it may
be used to compare one tool with another and as
a preliminary assessment of exposure to vibration
when using the tool for the applications mentioned.
• Using the tool for different applications, or with
different or poorly maintained accessories, may
significantly increase the exposure level.
• The times when the tool is switched off or when
it is running but not actually doing the job, may
significantly reduce the exposure level.
Protect yourself against the effects of vibration by
maintaining the tool and its accessories, keeping
your hands warm, and organizing your work patterns.
