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.
1. Maintain a firm grip with both hands on
the power tool and position your body
and arms to allow you to resist kickback
forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided,
for maximum control over kickback or torque
reaction during start-up. The operator can control
torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
2. Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory. Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
3. Do not position your body in the area
where power tool will move if kickback
occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in
direction opposite to the wheel's movement at
the point of snagging.
4. 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.
5. Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving
blade, segmented diamond wheel with
a peripheral gap greater than 10mm
or toothed saw blade. Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of control.
Additional safety instructions for
grinding and cutting-off operations
Safety warnings specific for grinding
and cutting-off operations:
1. Use only wheel types that are specified
for your power tool and the specific
guard designed for the selected wheel.
Wheels for which the power tool was not
designed cannot be adequately guarded and are
unsafe.
2. The grinding surface of centre
depressed wheels must be mounted
below the plane of the guard lip. An
improperly mounted wheel that projects through
the plane of the guard lip cannot be adequately
protected.
3. The guard must be securely attached
to the power tool and positioned for
maximum safety, so the least amount of
wheel is exposed towards the operator.
The guard helps to protect the operator from
broken wheel fragments, accidental contact with
wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing.
4. Wheels must be used only for specified
applications. For example: do not grind
with the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-
off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding,
side forces applied to these wheels may cause
them to shatter.
5. Always use undamaged wheel flanges
that are of correct size and shape for
your selected wheel. Proper wheel
flanges support the wheel thus reducing
the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges
for cut-off wheels may be different from grinding
wheel flanges.
6. Do not use worn down wheels from larger
power tools. A wheel intended for larger power
tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a
smaller tool and may burst.
7. When using dual purpose wheels always
use the correct guard for the application
being performed. Failure to use the correct
guard may not provide the desired level of
guarding, which could lead to serious injury.
Noise/vibration information
Noise emission values determined according to
EN 62841-2-3.
Typically, the A-weighted noise level of the power
tool is: Sound pressure level 83 dB(A); sound power
level 94 dB(A). Uncertainty K = 5 dB.
Wear hearing protection!
Vibration total values ah (triax vector sum) and
uncertainty K determined according to EN 62841-2-
3:
Drilling in metal: ah = 4.5 m/s2, K = 1.5 m/
s2 The vibration level and noise emission value
given in these instructions have been measured
in accordance with a standardised measuring
procedure and may be used to compare power tools.
They may also be used for a preliminary estimation
of vibration and noise emissions.
The stated vibration level and noise emission
value represent the main applications of the power
tool. However, if the power tool is used for other
applications, with different application tools or is
poorly maintained, the vibration level and noise
emission value may differ. This may significantly
increase the vibration and noise emissions over the
total working period.
To estimate vibration and noise emissions accurately,
the times when the tool is switched off or when it is
running but not actually being used should also be
taken into account.
This may significantly reduce vibration and noise
emissions over the total working period. Implement
additional safety measures to protect the operator
from the effects of vibration, such as servicing the
power tool and application tools, keeping their
hands warm, and organising workflows correctly.
