Additional safety warnings specific for
abrasive cutting-off operations
Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply ex-
cessive pressure. Do not attempt to make
an excessive depth of cut. Over stressing the
wheel increases the loading and susceptibility
to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and
the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
Do not position your body in line with and
behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at
the point of operation, is moving away from your
body, the possible kickback may propel the spin-
ning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
When wheel is binding or when interrupting
a cut for any reason, switch off the power
tool and hold the power tool motionless
until the wheel comes to a complete stop.
Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel
from the cut while the wheel is in motion
otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate
and take corrective action to eliminate the cause
of wheel binding.
Do not restart the cutting operation in the
workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed
and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel
may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool
is restarted in the workpiece.
Support panels or any oversized workpiece to
minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kick-
back. Large workpieces tend to sag under their
own weight. Supports must be placed under the
workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge
of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
Use extra caution when making a "pocket
cut" into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding wheel may cut gas or water
pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can cause
kickback.
Safety warnings specific for sanding
operations
Do not use excessively oversized sanding
disc paper.
Follow manufacturers recommendations,
when selecting sanding paper. Larger sand-
ing paper extending beyond the sanding pad
presents a laceration hazard and may cause
snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
Safety warnings specific for polishing
operations
Do not allow any loose portion of the polish-
ing bonnet or its attachment strings to spin
freely. Tuck away or trim any loose attach-
8
ment strings. Loose and spinning attachment
strings can entangle your fi ngers or snag on the
workpiece.
Safety warnings specifi c 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 penetrate 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.
Safety of others
This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sen-
sory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of
the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
Vibration
The declared vibration emission values stated in
the technical data and the declaration of conformity
have been measured in accordance with a standard
test method provided by EN 60745 and may be used
for comparing one tool with another. The declared
vibration emission value may also be used in
a preliminary assessment of exposure.
Warning! The vibration emission value during actual
use of the power tool can differ from the declared
value depending on the ways in which the tool is
used. The vibration level may increase above the
level stated.
When assessing vibration exposure to determine
safety measures required by 2002/44/EC to protect
persons regularly using power tools in employment,
an estimation of vibration exposure should consider,
the actual conditions of use and the way the tool is
used, including taking account of all parts of the
operating cycle such as the times when the tool is
switched off and when it is running idle in addition
to the trigger time.
