▪ When operating in dusty environment, the ven-

tilation slots must be kept clean. If it should be-

come necessary to clear dust, first disconnect

the tool from the mains supply (remove the

battery) use non metallic objects to clean the

dust and avoid damaging internal parts. The

power tool will overheat under deteriorated

cooling due to the clogged with dust ventila-

tion slots.

Further safety instructions for all operations

Kickback and Related Warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged

rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other acces-

sory. 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

accessory'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 enter-

ing 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,

depending 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 in-

correct operating procedures or conditions and can be

avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.

a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and posi-

tion your body and arm to allow you to resist

kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle,

if provided, for maximum control over kick-

back or torque reaction during start-up. The

operator can control torque reactions or kickback

forces, if proper precautions are taken.

b) Never place your hand near the rotating acces-

sory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.

c) Do not position your body in the area where

power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kick-

back will propel the tool in direction opposite to the

wheel's movement at the point of snagging.

d) 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.

e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade

or toothed saw blade. Such blades create fre-

quent kickback and loss of control.

▪ Fix the machined piece in vice or in another ap-

propriate way.

Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Opera-

tions:

a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc

paper. Follow manufacturer's recommenda-

tions, when selecting sanding paper. Larger

sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad

presents a laceration hazard and may cause snag-

ging, tearing of the disc or kickback.

Safety Warnings Specific for Polishing Opera-

tions:

a) Do not allow any loose portion of the polish-

ing bonnet or its attachment strings to spin

freely. Tuck away or trim any loose attach-

ment strings. Loose and spinning attachment

strings can entangle your fingers or snag on

the workpiece.

Additional Safety Warnings

▪ Before removing the battery release the ON/OFF

switch and place it in OFF position. This prevents

uncontrolled startup of the machine upon inserting the

battery and avoids activation of the built-in non-self

starting safety (NVR).

▪ When working stone, use dust extraction. The

vacuum cleaner must be approved for the extrac-

tion of stone dust. Using this equipment reduces

dust-related hazards.

▪ While operating the machine, always hold it firmly

with both hands and provide for a secure stance.

The power tool is guided more securely with both

hands.

▪ Use clamps or a vice to secure your work when-

ever possible.

▪ Keep work area clean. Blends of materials are par-

ticularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys can burn or

explode.

▪ Always use correct SPARKY battery pack (the

one supplied with tool or a replacement pack ex-

actly like it). Never install any other battery pack.

It will ruin your tool and may create a hazardous con-

dition.
