direction in which the dust is thrown out). Guiding the power tool in
the wrong direction will cause the cutting edge of the accessory tool to
jump out of the workpiece which can lead to the accessory tool being
pulled in this direction.
e. Always fix the workpiece when using rotary files, cutting discs, high-
speed milling tools or hard-metal tools. Even a minimal tilting in the
groove can cause these tools to jam and lead to a kickback. When the
cutting disc jams, it usually breaks. When a rotary file, high-speed mill-
ing tool or hard-metal milling tool jams, the accessory tool can jump out
of the groove and lead to loss of control of the power tool.
SUPPLEMENTARY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR GRINDING AND ABRA-
SIVE CUTTING
Special safety instructions for grinding and abrasive cutting
a. Use only the grinding accessories approved for your power tool and
only for the recommended applications. Example: Never grind with the
side surface of a cutting disc. Cutting discs are designed to remove ma-
terial with the edge of the disc. Any lateral application of force on these
grinding tools can lead to breakage.
b. Use only undamaged mandrels of the correct size and length and with-
out undercut on the shoulder for conical and straight pencil grinders.
Using an appropriate mandrel reduces the risk of breakages.
c. Avoid cutting disc jams or excessive contact pressure. Do not make any
excessively deep cuts. Overloading the cutting disc increases the stress
and likelihood of tilting or jamming and thus the possibility of kickback
or breakage of the grinding tool.
d. Avoid putting your hand in the area in front of or behind the rotating
cutting disc. When you move the cutting disc away from your hand, it is
possible, in the event of a kickback, that the power tool along with the
rotating disc could be thrown out directly towards you.
e. If the cutting disc jams or you stop working, switch the tool off and hold
it steady until the disc has completely stopped turning. Never attempt
to pull a rotating cutting disc out of a cut. This could lead to kickback.
Identify and remove the cause of the jam.
f. Do not switch the power tool back on as long as it is in the workpiece.
Allow the cutting disc to reach its full speed before you carefully con-
tinue the cut. Otherwise, the disc may jam, jump out of the workpiece
or cause kickback.
g. Support panels or large workpieces to reduce the risk of the cutting
disc jamming and causing a kickback. Large workpieces can bend un-
der their own weight. The workpiece must be supported on both sides,
namely in the vicinity of the cut, and also at the edge.
h. Be particularly careful when making "pocket cuts" into existing walls
