spinning accessory may catch the surface and pull
the power tool out of your control.
m) Do not run the power tool while carrying 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 draws dust into the housing.
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 electrocution or shock.
3.1 Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged routing or grinding tool or similar
accessory. Pinching or snagging causes the
rotating accessory to come to an abrupt halt, which
in turn forces the uncontrolled power tool in the
direction against the accessory's rotation at the
point of jamming.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions. It can
be avoided by taking proper precautions as given
below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kickback forces. Always use the auxiliary
handle, if provided, maximum control over
kickback or torque reaction during start-up.
The operator can control torque reactions or
kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your for hand near the rotating
accessory. Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where
power tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel the power tool in the direction
against the accessory's movement at the point of
jamming.
d) Use special care when working around
corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and
snagging the accessory. The rotating accessory
tends to jam around corners and sharp edges and
also if bouncing occurs, thus causing loss of control
or kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving
blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of control.
3.2 Safety Warnings Specific for Routing
Operations:
a) Use only routing tools that are
recommended for your power tool and the
specific guard designed for these routing
tools. Routing tools that are not designed for use
with the power tool cannot be guarded properly and
are unsafe.
b) The guard must be securely attached to the
power tool and positioned so as to minimise
exposure of the routing body to the operator
6
and thus maximise safety. The guard helps to
protect the operator from broken fragments,
accidental contact with the routing body and sparks
that could ignite clothing.
c) Do not work on surfaces with exposed steel
reinforcements or similar. Doing so may result in
kickback or loss of control over the power tool.
d) Before commissioning, check that the
routing wheels can move freely. Clean these, if
necessary.
e) Do not use damaged routing wheels.
f) Exercise particular caution when working on
corners, edges and ledges. There is a risk here of
kickback or damaging the router.
g) Routing wheels have sharp edges and may
be very hot after use. Caution! Risk of injury.
3.3 Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding
with Diamond Cup Wheels:
a) 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.
b) 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
the operator from broken fragments, accidental
contact with the wheel and sparks that could ignite
clothing.
c) Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications.
d) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that
are the correct size and shape for your selected
accessories. The correct flanges support the
accessories.
3.4 Additional Safety Instructions
WARNING – Always wear protective
goggles.
Wear a suitable dust protection mask.
Observe the specifications of the accessory
manufacturer! Protect the accessories from grease
and physical impact.
Accessories must be stored and handled with care
in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
The workpiece must lay flat and be secured against
slipping, e.g. using clamps. Large workpieces must
be supported adequately.
If accessories with threaded inserts are used, the
end of the spindle may not touch the base of the
hole on the grinding tool. Make sure that the thread
in the accessory is long enough to accommodate
the full length of the spindle. The thread in the
accessory must match the thread on the spindle.
See page 3 and chapter 14. Technical
Specifications for more information on the spindle
length and thread.
