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 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 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 accesso-
ry. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in line with the rota-
ting wheel. 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,
segmented diamond wheel with a peripheral gap
greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade. Such
blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
f) Do not "jam" the wheel or apply excessive pres-
sure. 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.
g) 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 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.
h) Do not restart the cutting operation in the work-
piece. 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.
i) 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.
j) Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut"
into existing walls or other blind areas. The protru-
ding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring
or objects that can cause kickback.
Additional Safety and Working
Instructions
Use protective equipment. Always wear safety
glasses when working with the machine. The use of
protective clothing is recommended, such as dust
mask, protective gloves, sturdy non-slip footwear,
helmet and ear defenders.
The dust produced when using this tool may be
harmful to health. Do not inhale the dust. Use a dust
absorption system and wear a suitable dust protec-
tion mask. Remove deposited dust thoroughly, e.g.
with a vacuum cleaner.
Do not use machines on any material containing
asbestos.
When working in walls ceiling, or floor, take care to
avoid electric cables and gas or waterpipes.
Check all screw and plug-in connections and
protective equipment if firm and tightened
properly and whether all moving parts are
running smooth whenever the appliance is to be
put into operation.
The appliance must not be used if damaged
or safety equipment is defective. Replace any
worn-out and damaged parts.
Do not use the device near flammable liquids or
gases. Risk of fire and explosion in case of short
circuit.
Cutting discs that do not meet the characteristics of
these operating instructions may not be used.
Please do not use abrasion disks in this machine!
Always keep the connection cable from the working
area of the device. Always guide the cable back-
wards, away from the device!
Do not fix the on/off switch in the „on" position when
using the saw hand-held.
Do not reach into the machine while it is running.
Always connect a dust collection unit. The war-
ranty does not cover motor damage that is the
result of failing to use a dust collection unit.
