Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
■
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
KICKBACK AND RELATED WARNINGS
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
rotating wheel, sanding band, 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.
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 pinching.
Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions.
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. The operator can control kickback forces, if
proper precautions are taken.
■
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 toothed saw blade. Such blades
create frequent kickback and loss of control.
■
Always feed the bit into the material in the same
direction as the cutting edge is exiting from the
material (which is the same direction as the chips
are thrown). Feeding the tool in the wrong direction
causes the cutting edge of the bit to climb out of the work
and pull the tool in the direction of this feed.
■
When using rotary files, cut-off wheels, high-speed
cutters or tungsten carbide cutters, always have the
work securely clamped. These wheels will grab if they
become slightly canted in the groove, and can kickback.
When a cut-off wheel grabs, the wheel itself usually
breaks. When a rotary file, high-speed cutter or tungsten
carbide cutter grabs, it may jump from the groove and
you could lose control of the tool.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR GRINDING AND
ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
■
Use only wheel types that are recommended for your
power tool and only for recommended applications.
For example: do not grind with the side of a cut-
off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for
peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels
may cause them to shatter.
■
For threaded abrasive cones and plugs use only
undamaged wheel mandrels with an unrelieved
shoulder flange that are of correct size and length.
Proper mandrels will reduce the possibility of breakage.
■
Do not "jam" a cut-off wheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive

depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the
loading and susceptibility to twisting or snagging of the
wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel
breakage.
■
Do not position your hand in line with and behind
the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of
operation, is moving away from your hand, the possible
kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power
tool directly at you.
■
When
wheel
is
pinched,
interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the
power tool and hold the power tool motionless until
the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt
to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while the
wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur.
Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the
cause of wheel pinching or snagging.
■
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
power 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
existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding
wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or
objects that can cause kickback.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
■
Inspect for and remove all nails from the workpiece
before using the product. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
■
Do not reach in the area of the spinning bit. The
proximity of the spinning bit to your hand may not always
be obvious.
■
The product is not intended for use as a dental drill
or in human or veterinary medical applications.
Serious injury may result.
■
Do not grind or sand heat flammable materials.
Sparks from the wheel could ignite these materials.
■
Do not bend the flex shaft with a radius less than
13 mm. The risk of overheating will increase
substantially.
■
Clamp workpiece with a clamping device. Unclamped
workpieces can cause severe injury and damage.
■
Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged
use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods,
ensure you take regular breaks.
■
Ambient temperature range for tool during operation is
between 0°C and 40°C.
■
Ambient temperature range for tool storage is between
0°C and 40°C.
■
The recommended ambient temperature range for the
charging system during charging is between 10°C and
38°C.
