Do not use damaged tools/attachments.
Before each use, check tools/attachments
for chips and cracks, check sanding/grind-
ing plates for fractures, look for signs of
major wear and tear and check for loose or
broken wires. If the power tool or tool/at-
tachment falls on the ground, check
whether it is damaged or use an undam-
aged power tool and/or tool/attachment.
Once the tool/attachment has been in-
spected and installed, keep yourself and
others away from the rotating tool/attach-
ment and allow the power tool to operate
at full speed for one minute. If tools/attach-
ments are damaged they will usually break
in this test period.
Wear personal protective equipment.
Wear a visor, eye protection or goggles
depending on use. If appropriate, wear a
dust mask, ear defenders, safety gloves or
special apron to protect against small
grinding particles and material fragments.
Eyes should be protected against foreign
bodies that are flung into the air during var-
ious applications. Dust masks or respira-
tors must be capable of filtering out dust
generated during use. Hearing damage
could ensue if you are exposed to loud
noise for extended periods.
Make sure that others are kept a safe dis-
tance from your working area. All persons
who enter the working area are required to
wear personal protective equipment. Frag-
ments of the workpiece or broken tools/at-
tachments could be flung into the air and
cause injuries even outside the immediate
working area.
Hold the power tool by the insulated grips
as the abrasive surface could cut the pow-
er cord. Damage to a live wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool live
and cause an electric shock.
Never place the power tool down before
the tool/attachment has come to rest com-
pletely.
If the tool/attachment is still rotating, it
could come into contact with the surface
and cause loss of control over the power
tool.

Never leave the power tool running while
carrying it. Your clothing could be caught
through accidental contact with the rotat-
ing tool/attachment and the tool/attach-
ment could cut into your skin.
Clean the ventilation slots of the power
tool regularly.
The motor fan draws dust into the housing
and a heavy build-up of metal dust could
pose an electrical hazard.
Do not use the power tool in the vicinity of
combustible materials.
Sparks could set these materials alight.
Do not use tools/attachments that require
liquid coolant. The use of water or other
liquid coolants could cause electric shock.
Kickback and related safety notices
Kickback is the sudden reaction to a trapped or
seized rotating tool/attachment, such as a
sanding disc, sanding plate, wire brush and
such like. If these items seize up or become
trapped, the rotating attachment will stop
abruptly. This results in an uncontrolled power
tool accelerating against the direction of rota-
tion of the tool/attachment in the seized area. If
e.g. a sanding disc becomes trapped or seized
in the workpiece, the edge of the sanding disc
will get caught from cutting into the workpiece
and cause the sanding disc to disintegrate or
the power tool to kick back. The sanding disc
would then move towards or away from the
user depending on the direction of rotation of
the disc in the seized area. This can cause
sanding discs to break as well. A kickback oc-
curs from incorrect or faulty use of the power
tool. It can be mitigated through suitable pre-
cautions, which are described as follows.
Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the
power tool and position your arms in such
a way that kickback forces can be resisted.
Always use the auxiliary handle, if present,
for the highest level of control over kick-
back forces or starting torque. The person
operating the tool can master forces from
kickback and starting torque provided suit-
able measures are taken.
Always keep hands away from rotating
tools/attachments. The tool/attachment
could move over your hand during a kick-
back.
