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.
b)
Never place your hand near the rotating ac-
cessory.
Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
c)
Do not position your body in the area where
power tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kick-
back will propel the tool in direction opposite to
the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.
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 fre-
quent kickback and loss of control.
Additional safety instructions for grinding and
cutting
Safety Warnings Specifi c for Grinding and
ABRASIV Cutting-Off Operations:
a)
Use only wheel types that are recommended
for your power tool and the specifi c 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 safe-
ty, so the least amount of wheel is exposed
towards the operator.
The guard helps to pro-
tect operator from broken wheel fragments
and accidental contact with wheel.
c)
Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with
the side of cut-off wheel.
ABRASIV cut-off
wheels are intended for peripheral grinding,
side forces applied to these wheels may cause
them to shatter.
d)
Always use undamaged wheel fl anges that
are of correct size and shape for your selected
wheel.
Proper wheel fl anges support the wheel
thus reducing the possibility of wheel break-
age. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be differ-
ent from grinding wheel fl anges.
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.
Additional safety instructions for abrasive cut-
ting
Other special safety instructions for abrasive
cutting:
a)
Prevent the cutting disc from seizing and do
not apply excessive pressure. Never make ex-
cessively deep cuts.
Overloading the cutting
disc increases the stress placed on the disc,
susceptibility to tilting or seizing and the pos-
sibility of kickback or disc breakage.
b)
Avoid the area in front of and behind the rotat-
ing cutting disc.
If you move the cutting disc in
the workpiece away from the body, the electric
power tool may kick back, throwing the rotating
disc directly towards you.
c)
If the cutting disc seizes or you intend to take
a break from work, switch off the machine and
hold still until the disc comes to a complete
stop. Never attempt to remove the rotating
cutting disc from the cut, otherwise the ma-
chine may kick back.
Identify and rectify the
cause of the seizure.
d)
Do not switch the electric power tool on again
while the disc is still embedded in the work-
piece. Allow the cutting disc to reach full
speed before carefully continuing with the
cut.
Otherwise the disc may seize, jump out of
the workpiece or cause a kickback.
e)
Always support panels or large workpieces to
minimise the risk of a kickback caused by a
seized cutting disc.
Large workpieces may sag
under their own weight. The workpiece must
be supported either side of the disc, both near
the cut and along the edge.
f)
Proceed with particular caution when mak-
ing „pocket cuts“ in existing walls or other
invisible areas.
A cutting disc plunged into a
wall may cut into gas or water pipes, electric
cables or other objects and cause the machine
to kick back.
Additional safety instructions for wire brushing
operations
Safety Warnings Specifi c for Wire Brushing
Operations:
a)
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the
brush even during ordinary operation. Do not
overstress the wires by applying excessive
load to the brush.
The wire bristles can easily
penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b)
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.
