safety gloves or special apron to
protect yourself from splinters and
other particles of material. The eyes
must be protected against any flying
particles which may be generated
during the various applications. Dust
masks or respirators must filter out the
dust generated by the application. If you
are exposed to loud noise for a long
time, you may suffer from hearing loss.
k. Make sure that other people remain
at a safe distance from your working
area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal safety clothing
and equipment. Fragments of the
workpiece or of a broken tool insert may
fly off and cause injuries, even outside
the direct working area.
l. If you are carrying out work in
situations where the tool insert may
make contact with concealed power
lines or its own power cable, only
hold the device by the insulated hand
grips. Contact with a live cable could
result in metal parts of the device also
becoming live and lead to an electric
shock.
m. Keep the power cable and the
rotating tool insert far apart. If you
lose control of the device, the power
cable may be severed or caught and
may draw your hand or arm into the
rotating tool insert.
n. Never put down the electric power
tool before the tool insert has come
to a complete stop. The rotating tool
insert may come into contact with the
supporting surface and cause you to
lose control of the electric power tool.
o. Do not leave the electric power tool
running while you carry it around.
Your clothes may become caught
through accidental contact with the
rotating tool insert and result in the tool
drilling into your body.
p. Clean the ventilation slits on your
electric power tool, regularly. The
motor fan draws dust into the housing
and a large accumulation of metallic
dust can cause electrical hazards.

q. Do not use the electric power tool in
the vicinity of flammable materials.
Sparks can ignite such materials.
r. Do not use any tool inserts which
require liquid coolants. The use of
water or other liquid coolants could
result in electrical shock.

FOR CUT OFF GRINDING
APPLICATIONS
Kickback and relevant safety
instructions
•
Kickback is the sudden reaction follow-
ing snagging or jamming of a rotating
grinding disc. Snagging or jamming lead
to an abrupt stop of the rotating tool
insert. This may then cause the uncon-
trolled electric power tool to accelerate
in the opposite direction to the inserted
tools direction of rotation at the point
were it jammed.
•
If, for example, a grinding disc snags or
jams inside a workpiece, the edge of
the grinding disc which is inside the
workpiece may become caught and
thus cause the grinding disc to jump out
or create a kickback. The grinding disc
then moves towards or away from the
operator, depending on the direction of
rotation of the disc at the jamming point.
This can also cause a grinding disc to
break.
•
A kickback is the result of improper or
incorrect use of the electric Power tool.
It can be avoided by taking suitable
precautions, as described below.
a. Hold the electric power tool firmly
and place your body and arms in
such a position that you can absorb
the force of a kickback. Always use
the auxiliary grips, when available, in
order to have the greatest possible
control over kickback forces or
torque reactions at high speed. By
taking suitable precautionary measures,
the operator can control kickback and
reaction forces.
