move away from or towards the operator, depending on the
direction of rotation on the locking point. This may also shatter
the disc.
 Kickback is caused by wrong or inappropriate use of the tool
and can be avoided by following the safety advice below.
 Hold the electric tool tightly with both hands and assume a
position, in which you can compensate a kickback. If present,
use the accessory handle to be able to control kickback and
countermovement of the running motor. With the necessary
precautions the operator can control all forces of kickback and
countermovement.
 Keep your hand away from the spinning attachment. A
kickback can throw the attachment onto your hand.
 Keep your body out of the area into which the tool is thrown
by a kickback. The tool is thrown into the direction reverse to
the direction of the disc at the locking point.
 Use extreme care when working around edges or sharp
corners. Make sure the attachment cannot become locked
into or bounce back from the work piece. Rotating discs tend
to lock into or bounce back from edges and corners. This may
cause kickback or loss of control.
Additional Safety Notes for Grinding and Cutting
 Always use the safety hood intended for the kind of attach-
ment you are using. The safety hood must be securely at-
tached and be adjusted in such a way that the highest possi-
ble degree of safety is achieved, e.g. the smallest possible
part of the spinning attachment pointing to the operator is
free. The safety hood is intended to protect the operator from
flying debris, fragments of a fractured disc and accidental
contact with the attachment.
