1) Hold the power tool firmly in both
hands and position your body and
arms so they can absorb the force
of a kickback. By taking adequate
precautions, the operator can stay in control
of the kickback forces.
2) Take special care when working
on corners, sharp edges, etc. Avoid
allowing the accessory tool to
bounce back from the workpiece
or jam in the workpiece. The rotating
accessory tool is more likely to jam in
corners or sharp edges or if it rebounds off
them. This can cause a loss of control or
kickback.
3) Do not use toothed saw blades. Such
accessories often cause a kickback or loss of
control over the power tool.
4) Always move the accessory tool in
the same direction in the material
in which the cutting edge leaves the
material (in other words, the same
direction in which the dust is thrown
out). Guiding the power tool in the wrong
direction will cause the cutting edge of the
accessory tool to jump out of the workpiece
which can lead to the accessory tool being
pulled in this direction.
5) Always clamp the workpiece when
using rotary files, cutting discs,
high-speed milling tools or hard-
metal tools. Even a minimal tilting in the
groove can cause these tools to jam and
lead to a kickback. When a cutting disc
jams, it usually breaks. When a rotary file,
high-speed milling tool or hard-metal milling
tool jams, the accessory tool can jump out of
the groove and lead to loss of control of the
power tool.

abrasive cutting
Special safety instructions for grinding
and abrasive cutting
1) Use only the grinding accessories
approved for your power tool
and only for the recommended
applications. Example: Never grind
with the side surface of a cutting
disc. Cutting discs are designed to remove
material with the edge of the disc. Any
lateral application of force on these grinding
tools can lead to breakage.
2) For conical and straight pencil
grinders, use only undamaged
mandrels of the correct size and
length and without an undercut
on the shoulder. Using an appropriate
mandrel reduces the risk of breakages.
3) Avoid cutting disc jams or excessive
contact pressure. Do not make any
excessively deep cuts. Overloading
the cutting disc increases the stress and
likelihood of tilting or jamming and thus the
possibility of kickback or breakage of the
grinding tool.
4) Avoid putting your hand in the area
in front of or behind the rotating
cutting disc. When you move the cutting
disc away from your hand, it is possible,
in the event of a kickback, that the power
tool (along with the rotating disc) could be
thrown out directly towards you.
