Hold the power tool by insulated grip-
ping surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
“live” and could give the operator an electric
shock.
Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory.
If you lose control of the power tool,
the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or
arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop.
The spinning accessory may grab the surface and
pull the power tool out of your control.
Do not run the power tool while carrying
it at your side.
Accidental contact with the spin-
ning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling
the accessory into your body.
Regularly clean the power tool’s air
vents.
The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the
housing and excessive accumulation of powdered
metal may cause electrical hazards.
Do not operate the power tool near flam-
mable materials.
Sparks could ignite these
materials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants
may result in electrocution or shock.
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any
other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid
stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn
causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in
the direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation at
the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or
pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel
that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the
surface of the material causing the wheel to climb
out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward
or away from the operator, depending on direction
of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching.
Abrasive wheels may also break under these condi-
tions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below.
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool
and position your body and arm to allow
you to resist kickback forces. Always use
auxiliary handle, if provided, for maxi-
mum control over kickback or torque
reaction during start-up.
The operator can
control torque reactions or kickback forces, if
proper precautions are taken.
Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
Do not position your body in the area
where power tool will move if kickback
occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in direction
opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of
snagging.
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 kick-
back.
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving
blade or toothed saw blade.
Such blades
create frequent kickback and loss of control over
the power tool.
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 kick-
back.
Additional safety warnings
The machine must not be damp
and must also not be operated in
damp suroundings.
Before each use of the unit, check the
cable and plug. If damage is detected, do
not use the unit. Have repairs performed
only by a qualified technician. Never
open the unit yourself.
Use only extension cables that are approved for
outdoor use.
Sanding gypsum board can lead to electrostatic
charging of the power tool. The power tool is
earthed. Use only dust extraction equipment that is
earthed.
Use only original Würth accessories.
