other grinding/sanding wheels.
e) Do not used worn grinding/sanding wheels
from larger electric tools.
Grinding/sanding
wheels for larger electric tools are not designed
for the higher speeds of smaller electric tools and
may break.
Other special safety information for cutting-off
wheels
a) Avoid blocking the cutting-off wheel or
applying excessive contact pressure. Do not
make any excessively deep cuts.
Overloading
the cutting-off wheel will increase the stress on it
and its susceptibility to jam or block and therefore
the possibility of recoil or of the grinding wheel
breaking.
b) Avoid the area in front of and behind the
rotating cutting-off wheel.
If you move the
cutting-off wheel in the workpiece away from
yourself, in the event of recoil the electric tool and
the rotating wheel may be catapulted directly
towards you.
c) If the cutting-off wheel jams or you interrupt
your work, switch off the tool and hold it still
until the wheel has reached a complete
standstill. Never attempt to pull the cutting-
off wheel out of the cut whilst it is still
rotating, otherwise it may suffer recoil.
Find
and rectify the cause of the jam.
d) Do not switch the electric tool on again whilst
it is inside the workpiece. Allow the cutting-
off disk to reach its full speed before you
continue the cut with care.
Otherwise the
wheel may catch, jump out of the workpiece or
cause recoil.
e) Support panels or large workpieces to
reduce the risk of recoil by a jammed cutting-
off wheel.
Large workpieces may sag under their
own weight. The workpiece must be supported on
both sides of the wheel both near the cut and also
at the edge.
f)
Be particularly careful with “pocket cuts” in
existing walls or in areas which you cannot
see clearly.
As the cutting-off disk enters the cut
it may suffer recoil if it cuts into gas or water
pipes, electric cables or other objects.
