causes an uncontrolled electric tool to accelerate in a direction
counter to the rotational direction of the attachment tool. If, for
example, a grinding disc cuts into the workpiece or blocks it, the
edge of the grinding disc that digs into the workpiece can get
caught and, through that, break off the grinding disc or cause a
kickback. The grinding disc then moves towards or away from the
operator, depending on the direction of rotation of the disc at the
blocked spot. Here, the grinding discs can also break. A kickback
is caused by wrongly or incorrectly operating the electric tool. It
can be avoided by suitable cautionary measures, such as
described below.
a) Hold the electric tool very firmly and bring your body and
your arm into a position in which you can resist the kickback force.
Always use the supplemental handle if available to give you the
best control over kickback force or reaction time during
acceleration. The operator can master the kickback and reaction
force through suitable precautions.
b) Never bring your hands near a rotating attachment tool.
The attachment tool can run over your hand in the kickback.
c) Keep your body away from the area in which the electric
tool would move during a kickback.
The kickback drives the
electric tool in the counter-direction to the rotation of the grinding
disc at the blocked spot.
d) Work particularly cautiously in corner areas or where there
are sharp corners etc.
Prevent the attachment tools from
recoiling from the workpiece and jamming. The rotating
attachment tool tends to jam when near corners, sharp edges or
when it recoils from such. This causes a loss of control or
kickback.
e) Do not use chain or toothed saw blades. Such attachment
tools frequently cause a kickback or loss of control over the
electric tool.
Special safety instructions for grinding and cutting
a) Use only grinders which have been approved for your
electric tool and the protective hood intended for these
grinders
. Grinders which are not intended for the electric tool
may not be sufficiently shielded and are unsafe.
b) Depressed centre grinding wheels must be pre- mounted
in such a way that their grinding surface does not protrude
over the level of the edge of the protective cover.
An
incorrectly mounted grinding wheel which protrudes beyond the
level of the edge of the protective cover cannot be adequately
shielded.
c) The protective hood must be securely attached to the
electric tool and adjusted so that the greatest level of safety
is reached
, i.e., the smallest possible amount of the grinder is
exposed to the operator. The protective hood should protect the
operator from broken bits and accidental contact with the grinder.
d) Grinders may only be used for the recommended
attachment options.
For example: Never grind with the side
surface of a cutting disc. Cutting discs are for cutting material
using the edge of the disc. Pushing sideways on these grinders
can break them.
e) Always use undamaged clamping flanges of the correct
size and shape for the grinding disc you selected.
Suitable
flanges support the grinding disc and thus reduce the danger of
the grinding disc breaking. Flanges for cutting discs can
be distinguished from flanges for other grinding discs.
f) Do not use worn grinding discs for larger electric
tools.
Grinding discs for larger electric tools are not set
up for the higher rotation speeds of smaller electric tools
and can break.
Other special safety instructions for cutting grinding
a) Avoid blocking the cutting disc or pressing down
too hard.
Do not make any excessively deep cuts.
Overloading the cutting disc increases wear and its
tendency to tilt or block and, with that, to kickback or
break the grinder.
b) Avoid the area in front of and behind the rotating
cutting disc.
When you move the cutting disc by itself in
the workpiece, in the event that the electric tool kicks
back with the rotating disc, it can spin directly towards
you.
c) If the cutting disc jams, or you interrupt your work,
switch the device off and hold it until the disc has
come to a full stop
. Never try to pull the cutting disc out
of the cut while it is still running, because it can kick back.
Identify and correct the cause of the jamming.
d) Do not switch the electric tool on again as long as
it is in the workpiece.
Allow the cutting disc to first reach
its full rotational speed before you carefully resume with
the cutting. Otherwise, the disc may catch, spring away
from the workpiece or cause a kickback.
e) Support plates or workpieces to reduce the risk of
kickback from a jammed cutting disc.
Large
workpieces may bend under their own weight. The
workpiece must be supported on both sides of the disc,
near the cutting disc as well as also at the edge.
f) Be particularly careful for pocketcuts in existing
walls or other areas where you cannot see what is
there.
The cutting disc may cause a kickback when it
cuts into gas or water lines, electrical lines or other
hidden objects.
Additional safety instructions for sanding
Special safety instructions for sanding:
•
Do not use overly large sandpaper sheets; follow
the manufactur
er‘s information for sandpaper sizes.
Sandpaper sheets which extend beyond the sanding
plate can cause injuries and can block, tear the
sandpaper, or cause kickback.
Additional safety instructions for working with wire
brushes
Special safety instructions for working with wire brushes:
•
Be aware that the wire brushes also lose wire
pieces during typical use. Do not overload the wires
by pressing down too hard.
Flying wire pieces can very
easily penetrate thin clothing and/or your skin.
•
If a protective hood is recommended, do not allow
the wire brushes and the protective hood to touch
each other.
The diameter of plate and cup brushes can
enlarge if too much pressure and centrifugal force is
exerted.

OPERATION
ASSEMBLY
To prevent accidental starting that could cause
serious personal injury, always disconnect the plug from the
socket.
ASSEMBLING THE SIDE HANDLE(See fig 3)
The side handle (5) can be screwed in the hole on the left and
right.
Select the position which gives the most comfortable and
safe use.
During operation, keep one hand on the rear handle and
the other on the side handle (5).
