Additional safety warnings specific
for abrasive cutting off operations
Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply exces-
sive pressure. Do not attempt to make an
excessive depth of cut. Overstressing 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 spinning 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 cor-
rective 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 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 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.
Further safety warnings
Offset grinding discs must be mounted in such
a manner that their grinding surface is 2 mm
below the bottom edge the of the wheel
guard. Grinding accessories that do not meet
these requirements cannot be adequately
covered off and are not permitted.
Use elastic spacers/liners when these are
provided with the grinding accessory.
Make sure that the application tools are
mounted in accordance with the manufactur-
ers 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.
Handle grinding accessories carefully and
store them according to the manufacturer's
instructions. Damaged grinding accessories
can develop cracks and burst during opera-
tion.
When using application tools with a threaded
insert, take care that the thread in the appli-
cation 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
injuries.
Do not direct the power tool against yourself,
other persons or animals. Danger of injury
from sharp or hot application tools.
Beware of any concealed electric cables, gas
or water conduits. Check the working area
before commencing work, e. g. with a metal
detector.
