RE 14-5 115

Keep the power cord away from rotating
insertion tools.
If you lose control of the appliance, the power
cord could be severed or become caught and
your hand or arm may strike the rotating
insertion tool.
Never put down the electric power tool
until the insertion tool has come to
a standstill.
The rotating insertion tool may come into
contact with the support surface, possibly
resulting in you losing control of the electric
power tool.
Never leave the electric power tool
running while you are carrying it.
Your clothing may become caught by
accidental contact with the rotating insertion
tool which may then drill into your body.
Regularly clean the ventilation slots
on your electric power tool.
The motor fan draws dust into the housing;
a large build-up of metal dust may cause
electrical hazards.
Never use the electric power tool near
combustible materials.
Sparks may ignite these materials.
Never use insertion tools which require
liquid coolants.
The use of water or other liquid coolants may
result in electric shock.
Special safety instructions
for sanding:
Use only those sanding tools authorised
for use with your electric power tool and
the guard designated for this sanding
tool.
Sanding tools, which are not designated for
use with the electric power tool, cannot be
adequately shielded and are unsafe.
The guard must be attached securely to
the electric power tool and adjusted to
ensure maximum safety, i.e. the smallest
possible part of the sanding tool is
exposed to the operator.
The guard should protect the operator from
fragments and accidental contact with the
sanding tool.
Sanding tools may be used for the
recommended applications only.
For example: Never sand with the side area
of a diamond sanding pad. Diamond sanding
pads are designed to remove material with the
underside of the sanding pad. If a lateral force
is applied to these sanding tools, they may
shatter.
Always use undamaged clamping flanges
in the correct size and shape for the
insertion tool you have selected.
Suitable flanges support the insertion tools
and therefore reduce the risk of a break.
Do not use worn insertion tools from
larger electric power tools.
Insertion tools for larger electric power tools
are not designed for the higher speeds of
smaller electric power tools and may break.
Recoil and appropriate
safety instructions
Kickback is the sudden reaction to a pinched
or snagged rotating insertion tool, such as
a sanding disc, sanding pad, wire brush, etc.
Pinching or snagging may cause a rotating
insertion tool to stop abruptly. As a result, an
uncontrolled electric power tool is accelerated
against the direction of rotation of the insertion
tool at the blocking point.
For example, if a sanding disc is snagged or
pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the
sanding disc which is entering the workpiece
may become caught and cause the sanding
disc to break off or kick back. The sanding disc
then moves towards or away from the operator,
depending on the direction in which the disc is
rotating at the point of pinching. Sanding discs
may also break under these conditions.
A recoil occurs if the electric power tool is used
incorrectly or improperly. A recoil can be
prevented by appropriate precautions as
described below.
Hold the electric power tool firmly and
position your body and arms to allow you
to absorb kickback forces. If fitted,
always use the auxiliary handle to ensure
the best possible control over the recoil
forces or reaction torques when
acceleration occurs.
