 Ensure that other persons are situated at
a safe distance from the work area.
Anyone who enters the work area must
wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of the workpiece or broken
insertion tools may fly off and cause injuries
even outside the direct working area.
 If the insertion tool is at risk of coming
into contact with concealed power cables
or the power cord itself, hold the power
tool by the insulated grip surfaces only.
Contact with a live cable may also cause
metal parts of the appliance to become live
and result in an electric shock.
 Keep the power cord away from rotating
insertion tools.
If you lose control of the appliance, the power
cord could be severed or become caught and
your hand or arm may strike the rotating
insertion tool.
 Never put down the electric power tool
until the insertion tool has come to
a standstill.
The rotating insertion tool may come into
contact with the support surface, possibly
resulting in you losing control of the electric
power tool.
 Never leave the electric power tool
running while you are carrying it.
Your clothing may become caught by
accidental contact with the rotating insertion
tool which may then drill into your body.
 Regularly clean the ventilation slots
on your electric power tool.
The motor fan draws dust into the housing;
a large build-up of metal dust may cause
electrical hazards.
 Never use the electric power tool
near combustible materials.
Sparks may ignite these materials.

 Never use insertion tools which require
liquid coolants.
The use of water or other liquid coolants
may result in electric shock.
Recoil and appropriate
safety instructions
Kickback is the sudden reaction to a pinched
or snagged rotating insertion tool, such as
a sanding disc, sanding pad, wire brush, etc.
Pinching or snagging may cause a rotating
insertion tool to stop abruptly. As a result, an
uncontrolled electric power tool is accelerated
against the direction of rotation of the insertion
tool at the blocking point.
For example, if a sanding disc is snagged or
pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the
sanding disc which is entering the workpiece
may become caught and cause the sanding
disc to break off or kick back. The sanding disc
then moves towards or away from the operator,
depending on the direction in which the disc is
rotating at the point of pinching. Sanding discs
may also break under these conditions.
A recoil occurs if the electric power tool is
used incorrectly or improperly. A recoil can
be prevented by appropriate precautions as
described below.
 Hold the electric power tool firmly and
position your body and arms to allow
you to absorb kickback forces. If fitted,
always use the auxiliary handle to ensure
the best possible control over the recoil
forces or reaction torques when
acceleration occurs.
The operator can control kickback and
reaction forces by taking appropriate
precautions.
 Keep your hands away from the rotating
insertion tool.
The insertion tool may kickback over
your hand.
