● Do not use power tool in proximity of flammable materials. Sparks can cause ignition.
● Do not use tools that require liquid coolant. Use of water or other liquid coolants may cause electric
shock.
Kick back and relevant safety tips
Kick back is a sudden power tool reaction to jamming or catching of rotating work tool, such as grinding
wheel, plate, wire brush etc. Catching or locking causes sudden stop of rotating work tool. Uncontrolled
power tool is then pulled in direction opposite to work tool rotations.
● Hold the power tool firmly, position your hands and body to limit kick back effect. Always use
additional handle when it is included in standard equipment, to have the greatest possible
control of kick back forces and counter torque during start up. Tool operator can control sudden
pulling and kick back effect by observing appropriate safety precautions.
● Always keep your hands away from rotating working tools. As a result of kick back, working tool
may cause hand injury.
● Stay away from zone of power tool potential movement at kick back. At kick back the power tool
moves in direction opposite to movement of grinding disc at the place of jamming.
● Be very careful when processing corners, sharp edges etc. Prevent rebound or jamming of work
tools. Rotating work tool is more susceptible to jamming when processing corners, sharp edges or
after rebound. It can cause loss of control or kick back.
● Do not use blades for wood or toothed blades. Work tools of this type often cause kick back or loss
of control over power tool.
● Avoid jamming of cutting wheel and excessive pressure. Do not make too deep cuts. Overloading
cutting blade increases its load and risk of jamming or locking, and in consequence kick back or blade
breaking.
● In the event of jamming of cutting blade or having a break in work, switch off the power tool
and wait until wheel comes to complete stop. Never attempt to remove rotating wheel from cut
material, as this may cause kick back. Find and remove cause of jamming.
● Do not switch on the power tool back, when it is still in processed material. Before cutting again,
cutting blade should reach its full rotational speed. Otherwise the blade may catch material,
bounce out of work piece or cause kick back.
● Support sheets and large objects before processing to minimise risk of kick back caused by
jammed blade. Large objects can bend under own weight. Support work piece on both sides, at
cutting line and near edge.
● Be careful when cutting holes in walls and operating in other areas with reduced visibility. Blade
plunging into material may cause kick back after hitting gas lines, water pipes, electric wires and other
objects.
Additional safety instructions
● Mains voltage should match the voltage specified on the rating plate of the power tool.
● Do not start working before the power tool reaches its full rotary speed.
● Use proper detection tools for hidden power lines, gas and water pipes, or ask housing
cooperative for schemes and help. Contact with live wires may cause fire, damage of gas pipe may
cause explosion. Plunging into a water pipe causes material losses, it may also cause electric shock.
● Use dust extraction when processing stone. Vacuum cleaner must be designed to remove stone
dust. Use of such devices reduces risks resulting from dust.
● Hold the power tool firmly in both hands when working, maintain safe working position. The
power tool is safer when used in both hands.
● Check the power cord each time before connecting the power tool to mains socket. Do not use
the power tool with damaged power cord. Do not touch damaged power cord. If the power cord
gets damaged during operation, unplug it from the mains socket. Damaged power cord increases
risk of electric shock, have it replaced in authorised service point.
CAUTION: This device is designed to operate indoors.
The design is assumed to be safe, protection measures and additional safety systems are used,
nevertheless there is always a small risk of injuries at work.
