Further safety directions

KICKBACK
Kickback is the sudden reaction from a
chopping or blocked grinder attachment
such as a grinding disc, grinding plate,
wire brush etc. Chopping or blocking
leads to sudden stopping of the rotating
attachment. This causes an uncontrolled
electric tool to accelerate in a direction
counter to the rotational direction of the
attachment tool. If, for example, a grind-
ing disc cuts into the workpiece or blocks
it, the edge of the grinding disc that digs
into the workpiece can get caught and,
through that, break off the grinding disc
or cause a kickback. The grinding disc
then moves towards or away from the
operator, depending on the direction of
rotation of the disc at the blocked spot.
Here, the grinding discs can also break. A
kickback is caused by wrongly or incor-
rectly operating the electric tool. It can be
avoided by suitable cautionary measures,
such as described below.
a) Hold the electric tool very
firmly and bring your body and your
arm into a position in which you can
resist the kickback force. Always
use the supplemental handle if avail-
able to give you the best control over
kickback force or reaction time during
acceleration. The operator can mas-
ter the kickback and reaction force
through suitable precautions.
b) Never bring your hands near a ro-
tating attachment tool. The attach-
ment tool can run over your hand in
the kickback.
c) Keep your body away from the area
in which the electric tool would
move during a kickback. The kick-
back drives the electric tool in the
counter-direction to the rotation of the
grinding disc at the blocked spot.
d) Work particularly cautiously in
corner areas or where there are
sharp corners etc. Prevent the at-
tachment tools from recoiling from the
workpiece and jamming. The rotating
attachment tool tends to jam when
near corners, sharp edges or when it
recoils from such. This causes a loss
of control or kickback.
e) Do not use chain or toothed saw
blades. Such attachment tools fre-
quently cause a kickback or loss of
control over the electric tool.
SPECIAL SAFETy INSTRUCTIONS
FOR GRINDING AND CUTTING
a) Use only grinders which have been
approved for your electric tool and
the protective hood intended for
these grinders. Grinders which are
not intended for the electric tool may
not be sufficiently shielded and are
unsafe.
b) Depressed centre grinding wheels
must be pre-mounted in such a way
that their grinding surface does not
protrude over the level of the edge
of the protective cover. An incor-
rectly mounted grinding wheel which
protrudes beyond the level of the edge
of the protective cover cannot be ad-
equately shielded.
c) The protective hood must be se-
curely attached to the electric tool
and adjusted so that the greatest
level of safety is reached, i.e., the
smallest possible amount of the grind-
er is exposed to the operator. The
