curs. Kickback will propel the tool in direc­
tion opposite to the wheel's movement at
the point of snagging.
– Use special care when working corners,
sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snag­
ging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges
or bouncing have a tendency to snag the ro­
tating accessory and cause loss of control
or kickback.
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 fre­
quent kickback and loss of control.
Additional safety instructions for grinding
Safety warnings specific for grinding
– Use only wheel types that are specified for
your power tool and the specific guard de­
signed for the selected wheel. Wheels for
which the power tool was not designed
cannot be adequately guarded and are un­
safe.
The grinding surface of centre depressed
–
wheels must be mounted below the plane
of the guard lip. An improperly mounted
wheel that projects through the plane of
the guard lip cannot be adequately protec­
ted.
The guard must be securely attached to
–
the power tool and positioned for maxi­
mum safety, so the least amount of wheel
is exposed towards the operator. The
guard helps to protect the operator from
broken wheel fragments, accidental con­
tact with wheel and sparks that could ignite
clothing.
Wheels must be used only for specified
–
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.
Always use undamaged wheel flanges that
–
are of correct size and shape for your se­
lected wheel. Proper wheel flanges sup­
port the wheel thus reducing the possibility
of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off
wheels may be different from grinding
wheel flanges.
– When using dual purpose wheels always
use the correct guard for the application
being performed. Failure to use the cor­
rect guard may not provide the desired lev­
el of guarding, which could lead to serious
injury.

Further safety instructions

–
Wear suitable personal protective equip­
ment: Ear protection, safety goggles, a dust
mask for work that generates dust.
– Harmful/toxic dust may be produced dur­
ing your work (e.g. paint containing lead,
certain types of wood and metal). Only
qualified persons are permitted to handle
materials containing asbestos. Aontact
with or inhalation of this dust may pose a
risk for the operating personnel or persons
in the vicinity. Comply with the safety regu­
lations that apply in your country.
– Wear suitable breathing protection to pro­
tect your health. In enclosed spaces, en­
sure that there is sufficient ventilation and
connect a mobile dust extractor.
– The power tool is not approved for opera­
tion in moist and wet environments, in rain,
fog and snow or in potentially explosive at­
mospheres.
– Never perform work while standing on lad­
ders.
Check the power tool, mains plug and the
–
mains power cable regularly to avoid haz­
ards and have them replaced by an au­
thorised after-sales service workshop if
they become damaged. A fault on the
mains plug or mains power cable can lead
to electric shocks.
– Replace defective, worn or vibrating inser­
tion tools.
– Always guide the power cable from the tool
to the rear. Never pull hard on the power
cable and never place it on or guide it over
any sharp edges.
– Check to make sure the material to be pro­
cessed does not contain any electrical, wa­
ter or gas lines – there is a risk of accident.
– Only guide the power tool towards the
workpiece when it is switched on.
– Do not sand over metal objects, nails or
screws.
Only for AS/NZS: The tool shall always be
–
supplied via residual current device with a
rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
