b) Keep your hands away from rotating
insertion tools. The insertion tool may move
over your hand in the event of a kickback.
c) Keep your body away from the area where
the power tool may move in the event of a
kickback. Kickbacks always move the power
tool in opposite direction to the movement of
the grinding disk at the spot where it blocks.
d) Corners, sharp edges, etc. must be
processed with special care. Make sure that
the insertion tool does not bounce back from
or get trapped on the work piece. The rotating
insertion tool tends to jam in corners, at sharp
edges or when it bounces back. This may cause
the loss of control or a kickback.
e) Do not use chain rings or toothed saw
blades. These insertion tools frequently cause
kickbacks or the loss of control of your power
tool.
4.8 Additional safety notes regarding
grinding with sandpaper – Special safety
notes regarding grinding with sandpaper
a) Do not use oversized abrasive sheets;
always observe the manufacturer's
specifications for abrasive sheet dimensions.
Abrasive sheets protruding the grinding plate
may cause injury or result in the blocking
or tearing apart of the abrasive sheet or in
kickbacks.
4.9 Additional safety notes
a) Connect a vacuum cleaner to the supplied
adapter before starting your operations.
b) Attention! Keep away grinding dust from
open fire. Dust may be explosive.
c) Always wear goggles and a dust mask when
grinding, in particular during overhead work
and when processing critical materials! When
grinding certain materials (e.g. lead paint,
22
certain types of wood and metal) harmful or
noxious dust may be generated. Touching or
breathing in such dust may imply risks for the
operator or people in the vicinity.
