Avoid the area in front of and
c)
behind the rotating cutting disc. The
kickback will force the electrical tool in the
opposite direction to the direction of rotation
of the grinding disc at the blockage.
Take special care when working
d)
near corners, sharp edges, etc.
Avoid allowing the accessory tool
to bounce back from the workpiece
or jam. The rotating accessory tool is more
likely to jam in corners or sharp edges or if it
bounces. This can cause a loss of control or
kickback.
Do not use a toothed or chain saw
e)
blade or a segmented diamond-
coated disc with more than 10 mm
wide slits. Such accessory tools cause a
kickback or loss of control over the power
tool.
Avoid cutting disc jams or excessive
f)
contact pressure. Do not make any
excessively deep cuts. Overloading
the cutting disc increases the stress and
likelihood of tilting or blocking and thus the
possibility of a setback or a breakage of the
grinding tool.
If the cutting disc jams or you stop
g)
working, switch the tool off and
hold it steady until the disc has
completely stopped turning. Never
attempt to pull a rotating cutting
disc out of a cut. This could lead to
kickback. Identify and remove the cause
of the jam.
42 GB/IE
Do not switch the power tool back
h)
on as long as it is in the workpiece.
Allow the cutting disc to reach its full
i)
speed before you carefully continue
the cut. Otherwise, the disc may jam, jump
out of the workpiece or cause kickback.
Support panels or large workpieces
j)
to reduce the risk of the cutting disc
jamming and causing a kickback.
Large workpieces can bend under their own
weight. The workpiece must be supported on
both sides, namely in the vicinity of the cut
and also at the edge.
Be particularly careful when
k)
making pocket cuts into existing
walls or other obscured areas. The
inserted cutting disc may cut into gas or
water pipes, electrical wiring or other objects
that can cause kickback.
