ADDITIONAL SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
Kickback is a sudden reaction caused when a rotating
accessory tool, e.g. grinding disc, abrasive band, wire
brush, etc., catches or jams. Catching or jamming
leads to an abrupt stop of the rotating accessory
tool. If this happens, an uncontrolled power tool will
turn rapidly against the direction of rotation of the
accessory tool.
If, for example, a grinding disc catches or jams,
the edge of the grinding disc that is projecting into the
workpiece can get caught and break off the grinding
disc or cause a kickback. The grinding disc can then
fly in the direction of the operator or away from him,
depending on the direction of rotation of the disc at the
blockage. This can also break grinding discs.
A kickback is caused by incorrect use or misuse of
the power tool. This can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below.
a) Hold the power tool firmly in both hands and position
your body and arms so they can absorb the force of
a kickback. By taking adequate precautions, the
operator can stay in control of the kickback forces.
b) Take special care when working around corners,
sharp edges, etc. Avoid allowing the accessory tool
to bounce back from the workpiece or jam in the
workpiece. The rotating accessory tool is more likely
to jam in corners or sharp edges or if it rebounds off
them. This can cause a loss of control or kickback.
c) Do not use toothed saw blades. Such accessories
often cause a kickback or loss of control over the
power tool.
d) Always move the accessory tool in the same
direction in the material in which the cutting edge
leaves the material (in other words, the same direction
in which the dust is thrown out).
Guiding the power tool in the wrong direction will
cause the cutting edge of the accessory tool to jump
out of the workpiece which can lead to the accessory
tool being pulled in this direction.
e) Always fix the workpiece when using rotary files,
cutting discs, high-speed milling tools or hard-metal
tools. Even a minimal tilting in the groove can cause
these tools to jam and lead to a kickback. When the
cutting disc jams, it usually breaks. When a rotary file,
high-speed milling tool or hard-metal milling tool jams,
the accessory tool can jump out of the groove and lead
to loss of control of the power tool.
Supplementary safety instructions for grinding and
abrasive cutting
Special safety instructions for grinding and abrasive
cutting
a) Use only the grinding accessories approved for your
power tool and only for the recommended applications.
Example: Never grind with the side surface of a cutting
disc. Cutting discs are designed to remove material
with the edge of the disc. Any lateral application of
force on these grinding tools can lead to breakage.
b) Use only undamaged mandrels of the correct size
and length and without undercut on the shoulder
for conical and straight pencil grinders. Using an
appropriate mandrel reduces the risk of breakages.
c) Avoid cutting disc jams or excessive contact
pressure. Do not make any excessively deep cuts.
Overloading the cutting disc increases the stress and
likelihood of tilting or jamming and thus the possibility
of kickback or breakage of the grinding tool.
d) Avoid putting your hand in the area in fron of or
behind the rotating cutting disc. When you move the
cutting disc away from your hand, it is possible, in the
event of a kickback, that the power tool along with the
rotating disc could be thrown out directly towards you.
e) If the cutting disc jams or you stop working, switch
the tool off and hold it steady until the disc has
completely stopped turning. Never attempt to pull a
rotating cutting disc out of a cut. This could lead to
kickback. Identify and remove the cause of the jam.
f) Do not switch the power tool back on as long as it is
in the workpiece. Allow the cutting disc to reach its full
speed before you carefully continue the cut. Otherwise,
the disc may jam, jump out of the workpiece or cause
kickback.
g) Support panels or large workpieces to reduce
the risk of the cutting disc jamming and causing a
kickback. Large workpieces can bend under their own
weight. The workpiece must be supported on both
sides, namely in the vicinity of the cut, and also at the
edge.
h) Be particularly careful when making "pocket cuts"
into existing walls or other obscured areas. The
inserted cutting disc may cut into gas or water pipes,
electrical wiring or other objects that can cause
kickback.
Supplementary safety instructions for working with
wire brushes
Special safety instructions for working with wire
brushes:
a) Be aware that the brush can lose wire bristles even
during normal operation. Do not overstress the wires
by applying excessive pressure to the brush. The wire
bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b) Allow the brush to run at working speed for at least
one minute before applying it to the workpiece. Ensure
that no one is standing in front of or in line with the
brush during this time. Loose pieces of wire could fly
off during the run-in period.
c) Aim the rotating steel brush away from yourself.
When working with these brushes, small particles and
minute pieces of wire can fly off at great speed and
pierce skin.
