Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
The accessory may kickback over your hand.
Do not position your body in the area where power
tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will pro-
pel the tool in the 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 acces-
sory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a ten-
dency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss
of control or kickback.
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or
toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control.
Safety warnings specific for grinding and abrasive
cutting off operations
Use only wheel types that are recommended for
your power tool and the specific guard designed
for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power
tool was not designed cannot be adequately
guarded and are unsafe.
The protection guard must be safely fastened to the
power tool and adjusted in such a manner that a
maximum on safety is achieved, meaning, that the
smallest possible part of the grinding accessory faces
openly toward the operator. The protection guard is
supposed to protect the operator against fragments
and accidental contact with the grinding accessory.
Wheels must be used only for recommended appli-
cations. For example: Do not grind with the side of a
cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended
for peripheral grinding; side forces applied to these
wheels may cause them to shatter.
Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of
correct size and shape for your selected wheel.
Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reduc-
ing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for
cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel
flanges.
Do not use worn down wheels from larger power
tools. A wheel intended for a larger power tool is not
suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and
Additional safety warnings specific for
abrasive cutting off operations
Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive
depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the
loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of
the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or
wheel breakage.
Do not position your body in line with and behind
the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of
operation, is moving away from your body, the pos-
sible kickback may propel the spinning wheel and
the power tool directly at you.
When the 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 work-
piece. 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 work-
piece.
Support panels or any oversized workpiece to min-
imize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback.
Large workpieces tend to sag under their own
weight. Supports must be placed under the work-
piece 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
When sanding, do not use excessively oversized
sanding disc paper. Follow the manufacturers' rec-
ommendations 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 cen-
trifugal forces.
Additional safety instructions
Wear ear protectors with impact drills. Exposure
to noise can cause hearing loss.
Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of
control can cause personal injury.
When working with the machine, always hold it
firmly with both hands and provide for a secure
stance. The power tool is guided more secure with
both hands.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely
than by hand.
Take protective measures when dust can develop
during working that is harmful to one's health,
combustible or explosive. Example: Some dusts are
regarded as carcinogenic. Wear a dust mask and
work with dust/chip extraction when connectable.
Keep your workplace clean. Material mixtures are
particularly dangerous. Dust of light metal can be
inflammable or explode.
Do not work materials containing asbestos. Asbes-
tos is considered carcinogenic.
