Safety rules

EN
Wheels must be used only for recommended ap-
plications. For example: do not grind with the side
of cut-off wheel.
Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripher-
al grinding, side forces applied to these wheels
may cause them to shatter.
Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of
correct size and shape for your selected wheel.
Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus re-
ducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges
for cut-off wheels may be different from grinding
wheel flanges.
Do not use worn down wheels from larger power
tools.
Wheel intended für larger power tool is not suita-
ble for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may
burst.
Additional safety instructions for abra-
sive cutting-off operations
Do not “jam“ the cut-off wheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive
depth of cut.
Overstressing the wheel increases the loading
and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the
wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or
wheel breakage.
Do not position your body in line with and behind
the rotationg wheel.
When the wheel, at the point of operation, is mov-
ing 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
otherwise kickback may occur.
Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate
the cause of wheel binding.
Do not restart the cutting operation in the work-
piece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully
reenter the cut.
The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback it 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. Support must be placed under the work-
piece 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 kick-
back.
Safety warnings specific for sanding
operations
Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc
paper. Follow manufacturers recommendations,
when selecting sanding paper.
Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sand-
ing 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 excessive load to
the brush.
The wire bristles can easily penetrate light cloth-
ing 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 diameter due
to work load and centrifugal forces.
Additional warnings
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and
electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to
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.
Wear protective glasses and hearing
protection.
Use suitable detectors to determine if
utility lines are hidden in the work
area or call the local utility company
for assistance.
