•
Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
•
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.
•
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.
Additional safety instructions for grinding
•
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 grinding surface of the 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 cannot be
adequately protected.
•
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, accidental contact with wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing.
•
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 reinforced 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.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The network voltage must conform to the voltage indicated on the tool name plate. Under no
circumstances should the tool be used when the power supply cable is damaged. A damaged cable
must be replaced immediately by an authorized Customer Service Center. Do not try to repair the
damaged cable yourself. The use of damaged power cables can lead to an electric shock.
WARNING: Never operate a damaged machine. Always tag a damaged machine and take it out of
service until repairs can be made.
