j. Hold the power tool by insulated grip-
ping surfaces only, when performing
an operation where the cutting acces-
sory may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord.
Cutting accessory contact-
ing a “live” wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and
could give the operator an electric
shock.
k. Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory.
If you lose control, the cord
may be cut or snagged and your hand
or arm may be pulled into the spinning
accessory.
l. Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete
stop.
The spinning accessory may grab
the surface and pull the power tool out
of your control.
m. Do not run the power tool while carry-
ing it at your side.
Accidental contact
with the spinning accessory could snag
your clothing, pulling the accessory into
your body.
n. Regularly clean the power tool’s air
vents.
The motor’s fan will draw the
dust inside the housing and excessive
accumulation of powdered metal may
cause electrical hazards.
o. Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials.
Sparks could
ignite these materials.
p. Do not use accessories that require
liquid coolants.
Using water or other
liquid coolants may result in electrocu-
tion or shock.
4. Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is the sudden reaction of a
wedged or locked spinning attachment
such as a grinding or sanding disc or a wire
brush etc. This causes the spinning attach-
ment to come to a sudden stop, which will
force the electric tool against the rotating
direction of the attachment.
If, for instance, a cutting disc becomes
locked or jammed in the work piece, the
edge of the disc may fracture inside the
work piece and cause a violent kickback.
The disc will then move away from or
towards the operator, depending on the
direction of rotation on the locking point.
This may also shatter the disc.
Kickback is caused by wrong or inappropri-
ate use of the tool and can be avoided by
following the safety advice below.
a. Hold the electric tool tightly with both
hands and assume a position, in which
you can compensate a kickback. If
present, use the accessory handle to
be able to control kickback and coun-
termovement of the running motor.
With the necessary precautions the
operator can control all forces of kick-
back and countermovement.
b. Keep your hand away from the spin-
ning attachment.
A kickback can throw
the attachment onto your hand.
c. Keep your body out of the area into
which the tool is thrown by a kickback.
The tool is thrown into the direction
reverse to the direction of the disc at the
locking point.
d. Use extreme care when working
around edges or sharp corners. Make
sure the attachment cannot become
locked into or bounce back from the
work piece.
Rotating discs tend to lock
into or bounce back from edges and
corners. This may cause kickback or
loss of control.
e. Do not attach a saw chain woodcarv-
ing blade or toothed saw blade.
Such
blades create frequent kickback and
loss of control.
5. Safety warnings specific for
grinding and abrasive cutting-off
operations
a. Use only discs intended for your elec-
tric tool and the protective hood
intended for these discs.
Discs not
intended for the electric tool cannot be
covered in a suitable way and are
unsafe.
b. The grinding surface of centre
depressed wheels must be mounted
below the plane of the guard lip.
An
improperly mounted wheel that projects
through the plane of the guard lip can-
not be adequately protected.
