Do not position your body in line with and
behind the rotating wheel.

When the wheel,

at the point of operation, is moving away
from your body, the possible kickback may
propel the spinning wheel and the power
tool directly at you.

When wheel is binding or when 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 other-
wise kickback may occur.

Investigate and

take corrective action to eliminate the cause
of wheel binding.

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.

Safety warnings specific for sanding
operations

Do not use excessively oversized sanding
disc paper. Follow manufacturers recom-
mendations, when selecting sanding paper.

Larger sanding paper extending beyond the
sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and
may cause snagging, tearing of the disc, or
kickback.

Safety warnings specific for wire
brushing operations

Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by
the brush even during ordinary operation. Do
not overstress the wires by applying exces-
sive load to the brush.

The wire bristles can

easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.

If the use of a guard is recommended for
wire brushing, do not allow any interference
of the wire wheel or brush with the guard.

Wire wheel or brush may expand in diame-
ter due to work load and centrifugal forces.

Further safety warnings

Do not wear easily flammable clothing.

Sparks could cause such clothing to ignite.

Use elastic spacers/liners when these are
provided with the grinding accessory.
Offset grinding discs must be mounted in
such a manner that their grinding surface is
2 mm below the bottom edge the of the
wheel guard.

Grinding accessories that do

not meet these requirements cannot be ade-
quately covered off and are not permitted.

Make sure that the application tools are
mounted in accordance with the manufac-
turers instructions. The mounted application
tools must be able to rotate freely.

Incor-

rectly mounted application tools can
become loose during operation and be
thrown from the machine.

Handle grinding accessories carefully and
store them according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.

Damaged grinding accessories

can develop cracks and burst during opera-
tion.

When using application tools with a
threaded insert, take care that the thread in
the application tool is long enough to hold
the spindle length of the power tool. The
thread in the application tool must match
the thread on the spindle.

Incorrectly

mounted application tools can loosen during
operation and cause injuries.

Do not direct the power tool against your-
self, other persons or animals.

Danger of

injury from sharp or hot application tools.

Beware of any concealed electric cables,
gas or water conduits.

Check the working

area before commencing work, e. g. with a
metal detector.

Use a stationary extraction system and blow
out the ventilation slots frequently.

When

working metal under extreme operating
conditions, it is possible for conductive dust
to settle in the interior of the power tool.
The total insulation of the power tool can be
impaired.
