m) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side.

Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your

clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.

n) 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.

o) Do not operate the power tool near ﬂ ammable materials.

Sparks could ignite these materials.

p) 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 conditions.

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.

a) Maintain a ﬁ rm 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 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 accessory.

Accessory may kickback over your hand.

c) 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.

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 frequent kickback and

loss of control.

Safety Warnings Speciﬁ c for Grinding and Abrasive

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 safety, so the least amount of

wheel is exposed towards the operator. The guard helps to

protect the operator from broken wheel fragments, accidental

contact with wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing.

c) Wheels must be used only for recommended

applications. For example: do not grind with the side of

cut-off wheel. Abrasive 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

breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different 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 Warnings Speciﬁ c for Abrasive

Cutting-Off Operations:

a) 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.

b) 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.

c) 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.

d) 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.

e) 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.

f) 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 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. Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter

due to work load and centrifugal forces.

Dust and splinters must not be removed while the machine is

running.

Never reach into the danger area of the tool when it is running.

Always use the auxiliary handle.

Always use the protecting cap when roughing-down and

separating.

Immediately switch off the machine in case of considerable

vibrations or if other malfunctions occur. Check the machine in

order to ﬁ nd out the cause.

Always use and store the grinding disks according to the

manufacturer's instructions.

When grinding metal, ﬂ ying sparks are produced. Take care

that no persons are endangered. Because of the danger of ﬁ re,

no combustible materials should be located in the vicinity

(spark ﬂ ight zone). Do not use dust extraction.

Due care should be taken that no sparks or sanding dust ﬂ ying

from the workpiece come into contact with you.

The adjusting nut must be tightened before starting to work with

the machine.

The workpiece must be ﬁ xed if it is not heavy enough to be

steady. Never lead the workpiece to the grinding disk with your

hand.
