General safety advice for electrical power tools
e) Support boards or workpieces whilst
cutting to reduce the risk of kickback
caused by a jammed cutting disc. Large
workpieces may bend under their own weight.
The workpiece must be supported to both sides
of the cutting disc and particularly near the
cutting disc and at the workpiece edge.
f) B
e particularly careful when pocket
cutting in existing walls or other areas
where you cannot see what you are cut-
t
ing into. The cutting disc plunged into the surface
could cut through gas or water pipes, electricity
cables or other objects and cause kickback.

Special safety advice for
abrading using sandpaper
½ Do not use over-sized sanding sheets.
Follow the manufacturer’s recommen-
dations for sanding sheet size. Sanding
sheets that project beyond the backing pad
could cause injury in addition to jamming,
tearing of the sheet or kickback.

Special safety
advice for polishing
½ Do not use the polishing bonnet if it
has any loose parts, in particular the
fastening cords. Tuck the fastening cords
away or trim them. Loose fastening cords rotat-
ing with the attachment could catch your fingers
or become trapped in the workpiece.

Special safety advice for
working with wire brushes
a) Bear in mind that wire brushes lose
pieces of wire during normal use. Do
not overload the wires by applying too
much pressure. Flying pieces of wire can very
easily penetrate thin clothing and / or skin.
b) Use a guard, if recommended, but
make sure that the wire brush does
not come into contact with the guard.
The diameters of disc brushes and cup brushes
can increase due to contact pressure and cen-
tripetal forces.
Safety advice
for angle grinders
½ DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Do not
operate the device if the mains lead
or mains plug is damaged.
½ DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Do not
touch the mains lead if it becomes
damaged or cut through while you
are using the device. Pull the plug out of
the mains socket immediately and have the de-
vice repaired by a suitably qualified person or
at your service centre.
½ DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Do not
operate the device if it is damp and
do not use it in a damp environment.
½ DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! If you
use the device outdoors, always con
nect
it through a residual current device
(RCD) with a maximum trip current of
30 mA. If using an extension lead, always use
one that is approved for outdoor use.
½ Do not suspend or carry the device by
the mains lead. Always work with the
mains lead leading away from the
rear of the device. Otherwise the device
could be damaged.
½ Grinding discs must be carefully kept
and handled in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions. Otherwise
they could be damaged.
½ Make sure that abrasive consumables
and tools are attached in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions
and advice. Otherwise they could become
detached from the device and result in injury
and / or damage to property.
½ Ensure that any spacers supplied and
required for the use of certain abrasive
consumables and tools are installed.
½ Do not use separate reducing bushes
or adapters in order to make grinding
discs with a larger bore fit.
