Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants
may result in electrocution or shock.
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or
any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes
rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in
turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be
forced in the direction opposite of the acces-
sory's rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or
pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel
that is entering into the pinch point can dig into
the surface of the material causing the wheel to
climb out or kick out. The wheel may either
jump toward or away from the operator, depen-
ding on direction of the wheel's movement at
the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also
break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/
or incorrect operating procedures or conditions
and can be avoided by taking proper precautions
as given below.
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position
your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback
forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided,
for maximum control over kickback or torque
reaction during start-up. The operator can cont-
rol torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
Never place your hand near the rotating acces-
sory. 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 too-
thed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kick-
back and loss of control over the power tool.
Special safety warnings for sanding with
sanding discs
Do not use oversized sanding sheets; follow the
manufacturer's instructions on sanding-sheet
size. Sanding sheets extending beyond the san-
ding pad can cause injuries, as well as blocking or
tearing of the sanding sheet, or lead to kickback.
Safety Warnings specific for Polishing
operations
Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing
bonnet or its attachment strings to spin freely.
Tuck away or trim any loose attachment strings.
Loose and spinning attachment strings can ent-
angle your fingers or snag on the workpiece.
Special safety warnings for working with
wire brushes
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the
brush even during ordinary operation. Do not over-
stress the wires by applying excessive load to the
brush. The wire bristles can easily penetrate light
clothing and/or skin.
When using a wheel guard is recommended, pre-
vent the wheel guard and wire bristles from tou-
ching each other. The diametres of disc and cup
brushes can increase due to the brushing pres-
sure and centrifugal forces.
Additional safety warnings
Use elastic spacers/liners when these are provi-
ded with the polishing accessory.
Make sure that the application tools are mounted
in accordance with the manufacturers instruc-
tions. The mounted application tools must be able
to rotate freely. Incorrectly mounted application
tools can become loose during operation and be
thrown from the machine.
Handle polishing/brushing accessories carefully
and store them according to the manufacturer's
instructions. Damaged polishing/brushing acces-
sories can develop cracks and burst during ope-
ration.
When using application tools with a threaded
insert, take care that the thread in the application
tool is long enough to hold the spindle length of
the power tool. The thread in the application tool
must match the thread on the spindle. Incorrectly
mounted application tools can loosen during
operation and cause injuries.
Application tools with threaded insert must
exactly fit the thread size of the spindle. For appli-
cation tools mounted by flanges, the arbour hole
of the application tool must fit the mounting hole
diameter of the flange. Application tools that are
