The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power
tool is restarted in the workpiece .
• Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize
the risk of wheel pinching and kickback . Large workpiec-
es 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 exist-
ing 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
• 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 diam-
eter due to work load and centrifugal forces .
Additional safety warnings
• Wear safety goggles .
• Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hid-
den 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 pre-
vents uncontrolled restarting .
• Do not touch grinding and cutting discs before they have
cooled down . The discs can become very hot while work-
ing .
• Secure the workpiece . A workpiece clamped with clamp-
ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand .
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Make sure that the machine is not live when carrying
out maintenance work on the motor .
• Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth,
preferably after each use . Keep the ventilation slots free
from dust and dirt .If the dirt does not come off use a soft
cloth moistened with soapy water . Never use solvents
such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water, etc . These sol-
vents may damage the plastic parts .
• The machine requires no additional lubrication .
• Should a fault occur, e .g . after wear of a part, please con-
tact your local SBM group GmbH dealer .
