Additional Safety Instructions - Hilti AG 500-7SE Mode D'emploi

the possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool
directly at you.
▶ When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason,
switch off the power tool and hold the power tool motionless until
the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the
cut-off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise
kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate
the cause of wheel binding.
▶ Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel
reach full speed and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind,
walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
▶ Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of
wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their
own weight. Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the line
of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
▶ Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut" into existing walls or
other blind areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes,
electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
Safety warnings specific for sanding operations:
▶ Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow man-
ufacturers recommendations, when selecting sanding paper. Larger
sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration
hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
Safety warnings specific for wire brushing operations:
▶ Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even during
ordinary operation. Do not overstress the wires by applying excessive
load to the brush. The wire bristles can easily penetrate light clothing
and/or skin.
▶ If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing, do not allow
any interference of the wire wheel or brush with the guard. Wire wheel
or brush may expand in diameter due to work load and centrifugal forces.
Safety warnings specific for polishing operations:
▶ Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing bonnet or its attach-
ment strings to spin freely. Tuck away or trim any loose attachment
strings. Loose and spinning attachment strings can entangle your fingers
or snag on the workpiece.
