tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel the
tool in the direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the
point of snagging.
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.
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or
toothed saw blade.
Such blades create frequent kickback
and loss of control over the power tool.
1.3. Additional safety instructions for grinding
and cutting off operations
Use only wheel types that are recommended for your
power tool and the specific guard designed for the
selected wheel.
Wheels for which the power tool was not
designed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
The guard must be securely attached to the power tool
and positioned for maximum safety, so the least
amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator.
The
guard helps to protect operator from broken wheel
fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications.
For example: do not grind with the side of the
cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for
peripheral grinding; side forces applied to these wheels
may cause them to shatter.
Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of
correct size and shape for your selected wheel.
Proper
wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the
possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels
may be different from grinding wheel flanges.
Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools.
Wheels intended for larger power tools are not suitable for
the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
1.4. Additional safety warnings specific for
abrasive cutting off operations
Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive
pressure.
Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of
cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and
susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut
and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
Do not position your body in line with and behind the
rotating wheel.
When the wheel, at the point of operation,
is moving away from your body, the possible kickback may
propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for
any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the
power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a
complete stop.
Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel
from the cut while the wheel is in motion, otherwise
kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective action
to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece.

Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully reenter the cut.
The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is
restarted in the workpiece.
Support panels or any oversized workpiece to
minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback.
Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight.
Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the line
of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of
the wheel.
Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into
existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding wheel
may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that
can cause kickback.
1.5. Safety warnings specific for sanding
operations
Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper.
Follow manufacturers recommendations, when
selecting sanding paper.
Larger sanding paper extending
beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and
may cause snagging, tearing of the disc, or kickback.
1.6. Safety warnings specific for wire brushing
operations
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even
during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the wires by
applying excessive load to the brush. The wire bristles can
easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing, do
not allow any interference of the wire wheel or brush with
the guard. Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter due
to work load and centrifugal forces.
1.7. Additional safety warnings
Wear safety goggles.
Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden
in the work area or call the local utility company for
assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and
electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion.
Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may
cause an electric shock.
Release the On/Off switch and set it to the off position
when the power supply is interrupted, e. g., in case of a
power failure or when the mains plug is pulled.
This
prevents uncontrolled restarting. When working stone, use
dust extraction. The vacuum cleaner must be approved for
the extraction of stone dust. Using this equipment reduces
dust-related hazards.
When working with the machine, always hold it firmly
with both hands and provide for a secure stance.
The
power tool is guided more secure with both hands.
When working with the machine, always hold it firmly
with both hands and provide for a secure stance.
The
power tool is guided more secure with both hands.
Secure the workpiece.
Aworkpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by
hand.
