tion . Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may
cause hearing loss .
• Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area .
Anyone entering the work area must wear personal
protective equipment . Fragments of workpiece or of a
broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond
immediate area of operation .
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
when performing an operation where the cutting acces-
sory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord . Cutting
accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock .
• Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory . If you
lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your
hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning wheel .
• Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has
come to a complete stop . The spinning wheel may grab
the surface and pull the power tool out of your control .
• Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side .
Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could
snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body .
• Regularly clean the power tool's air vents . The motor's
fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive
accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical
hazards .
• Do not operate the power tool near flammable materi-
als . Sparks could ignite these materials .
• Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants . Us-
ing water or other liquid coolants may result in electro-
cution or shock .
Kickback and related warnings
• Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged ro-
tating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory .
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 accesso-
ry'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 entering 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 pinch-
ing . Abrasive wheels may also break under these condi-
tions . Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below .
• 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 . Ac-
cessory may kickback over your hand .
• Do not position your body in the area where power tool
will move if kickback occurs . Kickback will propel the
tool in 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 accessory . Corners,
sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency 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 kick-
back and loss of control .
Safety warnings specific for polishing
operations
• Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing bonnet
or its attachment 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 .
Safety warnings specific for sanding operations
• Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper . Fol-
low manufacturers 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 .
Additional safety warnings
• Wear safety goggles .
• Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are
hidden in the work area or call the local utility company
for assistance . Contact with electric lines can lead to
fire and electric shock . Damaging a gas line can lead
to explosion . Penetrating a water line causes property
damage or may cause an electric shock .
• Release the On/Off switch and set it to the off position
when the power supply is interrupted, e . g ., in case of
a power failure or when the mains plug is pulled . This
prevents uncontrolled restarting .
• Do not touch grinding and cutting discs before they
have cooled down . The discs can become very hot while
working .
• Secure the workpiece . A workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than
by hand .
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Make sure that the machine is not live when carry-
ing out maintenance work on the motor .
