ENGLISH

d)  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.

e)  Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed 

saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and 

loss of control.

Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding Operations

a)  Use only wheel types that are recommended 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.

b)  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 operator from broken wheel fragments 

and accidental contact with wheel and sparks that could 

ignite clothing.

c)  Wheels must be used only for recommended 

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.

d)  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.

e)  Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools. 

Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable for 

the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.

Residual Risks

In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations 

and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual 

risks cannot be avoided. These are:

  –  Impairment of hearing

  –  Risk of personal injury due flying particles.

  –  Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot        

      during operation.

  –  Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.

  –  Risk of dust from hazardous substances.
