• Do not switch the power tool back on as long
as it remains stuck in the work piece. Allow
the cutting disc to achieve the full revolutions
before you continue to cut carefully. Other-
wise, the disc may get caught, jump out of the
work piece or cause kickback.
• Support panels or large work pieces to mini-
mise the risk of kickback caused by a trapped
disc. Large work pieces may bend under their
own weight. The work piece must be supported
on both sides, near the line of cut and near the
edge.
• Be very carefully when making plunge cuts in
existing walls or in other areas that are diffi-
cult to see. The plunging disc may cut into gas or
water pipes, electrical cables or other objects and
cause kickback.
Special safety notes regarding sandpaper
sanding
• Do not use over dimensioned sanding sheets,
instead following the manufacturer's instruc-
tions regarding size. Sanding sheets that pro-
trude beyond the sanding plate may cause inju-
ries, jamming and tearing of the sheets or cause
kickback.
Special safety notes regarding polishing
• Do not permit parts of the polishing hood to be
loose, in particular, fixing cords. Conceal or
shorten fixing cords. Loose, rotating fixing
cords may catch your fingers or get trapped in the
work piece.
Special safety notes regarding working with
wire brushes
• Please note that wire brushes will loose wire
bristles during normal operation. Do not over-
load the wires by applying too high a pres-
sure. Flying wire bristles may easily pass through
very thing clothing and/or skin.
• If a protective good is recommended, make
sure that the hood and the wire brush do not
make contact. Wheel and cup brushes may
increase in diameter as a result of pressure and
centrifugal forces.
Additional safety notes
• Prior to starting work, use appropriate tool to
determine whether there are any hidden sup-
ply lines are located on the area you are work-
ing in. If in doubt, ask the relevant supply ser-
vices. Contact with power lines may cause fire
and electrical shock. Damaging a gas pipe may
cause an explosion. Damaging a water pipe leads
to considerable property damage and may cause
electrical shock.
• Secure the work piece. Use tensioning equip-
ment or a vice to secure the work piece to help
prevent kickback or uncontrolled flying of the work
piece (e.g. when getting jammed in the work
piece).
• Keep your workplace clean. Mixed contamina-
tion by various materials is particularly danger-
ous. Light metal dust (e.g. aluminium) can ignite
or explode easily.
• Inform yourself about the surface to be
sanded and any dusts and vapours that may
be generated. If in doubt, do not breath in even
small amounts of the generated dusts and
vapours. When sanding certain surfaces (vari-
ous metals, minerals or woods as well as weather
protecting paints) damaging/poisonous dusts may
be generated which can cause allergic reactions
or serious illness. Do not breathe these dusts and
vapours in and avoid all contact. Materials con-
taining asbestos may only be processed by spe-
cialists.
• Never use the power too with a damaged
cable. Do not touch a damaged cable and pull
out the power plug. Damaged cables increase
the risk of electric shock.
• Prevent overheating of the device and the
work piece. Excess heat may damage the tool
and the device.
• Shortly after being used, the tool may be very
hot. Allow a hot tool to cool down. Touching a
hot tool may cause burns.
• Never clean a hot tool with flammable liquids.
There is a risk of fire and explosion.
• Keep the handles dry and free of grease. Slip-
pery handles can lead to accidents.
• Always comply with the all applicable domes-
tic and international safety, health, and work-
ing regulations. Inform yourself before you start
work about the regulations that apply at the site of
the device.
• Remember that moving parts may also be located
behind ventilation and venting slots.
• Symbols appearing on your product may not be
removed or covered. Signs on the product that
are no longer legible must be replaced immedi-
ately.
Read and observe the instructions for use
before using the product for the first time.
