 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 control torque reactions
or kickback forces, if proper precautions
are taken.
 Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
 Do not position your body in the area
where power tool will move if kickback
occurs.
Kickback propels the electric power tool
in the direction opposite to the movement
of the sanding disc at the point of pinching.
 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.
This causes a 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.
Special safety instructions for
grinding and cut-off grinding:
 Use only those sanding tools authorised
for use with your electric power tool and
the guard designated for this sanding tool.
Sanding tools, which are not designated
for use with the electric power tool, cannot
be adequately shielded and are unsafe.
 The guard must be attached securely
to the electric power tool and adjusted
to ensure maximum safety, i.e. the smal-
lest possible part of the sanding tool
is exposed to the operator.
The guard should protect the operator
from fragments and accidental contact
with the sanding tool.
 Sanding tools may be used for the recom-
mended applications only.
For example: Never grind with the side
area of a cutting-off wheel.

Cutting-off wheels are designed to remove
material with the edge of the wheel. If a lateral
force is applied to these sanding tools, they
may shatter.
 Always use undamaged clamping flanges
in the correct size and shape for the
grinding disc you have selected.
Suitable flanges support the grinding disc and
therefore reduce the risk of the grinding disc
breaking. Flanges for cutting-off wheels may
differ from the flanges for other grinding discs.
 Do not use worn grinding discs from larger
electric power tools.
Grinding discs for larger electric power tools
are not designed for the higher speeds of
smaller electric power tools and may break.
Special safety instructions for cut-off
grinding:
 Avoid blocking the cutting-off wheel
or exerting too high contact pressure.
Do not make excessively deep cuts.
Overloading the cutting-off wheel increases
its stress and the susceptibility to twisting
or blocking and therefore the possibility
of a kickback or the grinding tool breaking.
 Avoid the area in front of and behind
the rotating cutting-off wheel.
When you move the cutting-off wheel in the
workpiece away from yourself, a kickback
may cause the electric power tool and rotating
wheel to be ejected directly towards you.
 If the cutting-off wheel jams or you inter-
rupt work, switch the power tool off and
hold it steady until the wheel has come
to a standstill.
Never attempt to pull the still rotating cutting-
off wheel out of the cut, otherwise a kickback
may occur. Establish and eliminate the cause
of the jam.
 Do not switch the electric power tool on
again while it is in the workpiece. First let
the cutting-off wheel reach full speed
before you carefully continue cutting.
Otherwise, the wheel may jam, jump out
of the workpiece or cause a kickback.
 Be particularly careful when making
"pocket cuts" in existing walls or other
secluded areas.
When the cutting-off wheel is inserted, it may
cause a kickback if it cuts into gas or water
lines, electric cables or other objects.
