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 accumula-
tion 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.

Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocu-
tion or shock.
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating
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 accessory's rotation at the point of the
binding.For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pin-
ched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering
into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material cau-
sing 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 incorrect operating procedu-
res or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precau-
tions 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 du-
ring 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 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 too-

thed 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 grinding surface of centre depressed wheels must

be mounted below the plane of the guard lip. An impro-
perly mounted wheel that projects through the plane of the
guard lip cannot be adequately protected.
The guard must be securely attached to the power tool

and positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount
of wheel is exposed towards the operator. The guard helps
to protect the operator from broken wheel fragments, acciden-
tal contact with wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing.
Wheels must be used only for recommended applicati-

ons. For example: do not grind with the side of 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 cor-

rect size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper
wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibi-
lity 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.

Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable for the
higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
Additional Safety Warnings specific for Abrasive
Cutting-Off Operations
Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pres-

sure. 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 rota-

ting wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation, is mo-
ving away from your body, the possible kickback may propel
the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for

any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the po-
wer tool motionless until the wheel comes to a comple-
te stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the
cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may oc-
cur. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the
cause of wheel binding.
Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece.

Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter
the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the po-
wer tool is restarted in the workpiece.
Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize

the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces
tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed
under the workpiece 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 exi-

sting walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel
may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that
can cause kickback.
Additional safety instructions
The mains voltage and the voltage specifications on the ra-

ting plate must correspond.
Do not press the spindle lock until the grinding tool stops.

Noise and vibration
NOTE
Values for the A-weighted sound pressure level and for the
total vibration values can be found in the table on page 5.
The noise and vibration values have been determined in accor-
dance with EN 60745.
CAUTION!
The indicated measurements refer to new power tools.
Daily use causes the noise and vibration values to change.
NOTE
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has
been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in
EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another.
It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The
declared vibration emission level represents the main applications
of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with
different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission
may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over
the total working period.
However if the tool is used for different applications, with different
accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may dif-
fer. This may significantly decrease the exposure level over the to-
tal working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the
effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories,
keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
CAUTION!
Wear ear protection at a sound pressure above 85 dB(A).
