Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and posi-
tion 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 opera-
tor can control torque reactions or kickback
forces, if proper precautions are taken.
Never place your hand near the rotating acces-
sory. Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
Do not position your body in the area where
power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kick-
back will propel the tool in direction opposite
to the wheel’s movement at the point of snag-
ging.
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 acces-
sory and cause loss of control or kickback.
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade
or toothed saw blade. Such blades create fre-
quent kickback and loss of control over the
power tool.
Safety warnings specific for sanding
operations
Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc
paper. Follow manufacturers recommenda-
tions, when selecting sanding paper. Larger
sanding paper extending beyond the sanding
pad presents a laceration hazard and may
cause snagging, tearing of the disc, or kick-
back.
Safety Warnings specific for Polishing
operations
Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing
bonnet or its attachment strings to spin freely.
Tuck away or trim any loose attachment
strings. Loose and spinning attachment strings
can entangle your fingers or snag on the
workpiece.
Safety warnings specific for wire
brushing operations
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the
brush even during ordinary operation. Do not
overstress the wires by applying excessive load
to the brush. The wire bristles can easily pen-
etrate light clothing and/or skin.
If the use of a guard is recommended for wire
brushing, do not allow any interference of the
wire wheel or brush with the guard. Wire
wheel or brush may expand in diameter due
to work load and centrifugal forces.
Further safety warnings
Make sure that the application tools are
mounted in accordance with the manufacturers
instructions. The mounted application tools
must be able to rotate freely. Incorrectly
mounted application tools can become loose
during operation and be thrown from the
machine.
When using application tools with a threaded
insert, take care that the thread in the applica-
tion tool is long enough to hold the spindle
length of the power tool. The thread in the
application tool must match the thread on the
spindle. Incorrectly mounted application tools
can loosen during operation and cause inju-
ries.
Do not machine any material containing asbes-
tos. Asbestos is cancerogenic.
Beware of any concealed electric cables, gas or
water conduits; check the working area with a
metal detector, for example, before com-
mencing work.
Use a stationary extraction system, blow out
ventilation slots frequently and connect a
residual current device (RCD) on the line side.
When working metal under extreme operat-
ing conditions, it is possible for conductive
dust to settle in the interior of the power
tool. The protective insulation of the power
tool can be impaired.
