For your Safety
Do not expose power tools to extreme heat and cold.
Mechanical and electrical damage can occur during extreme heat and/or cold.
Allow the insert tools, tool holders and other parts cool in the immediate vi-
cinity of the work area after use.
The machines can be very hot after use, do not touch the parts, risk of injuries.
Additional signs or other, non BAIER-specific parts may not be screwed or
riveted onto the motor, handle, gearbox or protective housing.
This could damage the power tool and cause malfunctions.
Avoid unnecessary noise emissions.
Note and follow the safety and work instructions for the accessories used.
Kickback and relevant safety instructions
Kickback is the sudden reaction caused by a rotating insert tool that get caught or is
blocked. Catching or blocking results in abrupt stopping of the rotating insert tool.
This causes the power tool to be accelerated in an uncontrolled way, opposite the
rotational direction of the insert tool at the blocking point.
Kickback is the consequence of incorrect or faulty use of the power tool. It can be
prevented by taking suitable precautions, as described in the following.
When switching on and while working with the power tool, hold onto it tightly
at both handles and place your body and arms in a position in which they can
absorb the kickback forces or reaction torque on starting up.
The person using the tool can control the kickback and reaction forces by taking
suitable precautions.
Avoid blocking of the insert tools caused by pressing too hard or feeding too
fast.
Overloading increases the possibility of kickback or breaking the insert tools.
Never place your hand near rotating insert tools.
The insert tool can move across your hand during kickback.
Keep your body clear of the area in which the power tool would move in the
event of kickback.
The kickback drives the power tool in the opposite direction to the movement of the
insert tool at the blocking point.
Take particular care when working in the area of corners, sharp edges, etc.
Prevent insert tools from rebounding from or jamming in the workpiece.
The rotating insert tool tends to get stuck in corners, sharp edges or if it rebounds.
This causes loss of control or kickback.
