precautions the operator can control all forces of kickback and
countermovement.
 Keep your hand away from the spinning attachment. A
kickback can throw the attachment onto your hand.
 Keep your body out of the area into which the tool is thrown
by a kickback. The tool is thrown into the direction reverse to
the direction of the disc at the locking point.
 Use extreme care when working around edges or sharp
corners. Make sure the attachment cannot become locked
into or bounce back from the workpiece. Rotating discs tend
to lock into or bounce back from edges and corners. This may
cause kickback or loss of control.
 Do not uses toothed saw blades or any other saw attachment.
These tend to cause kickback or loss of control.
Additional Safety Notes for Grinding and Cutting
 Always use the safety hood intended for the kind of attach-
ment you are using. The safety hood must be securely at-
tached and be adjusted in such a way that the highest possi-
ble degree of safety is achieved, e. G. the smallest possible
part of the spinning attachment pointing to the operator is
free. The safety hood is intended to protect the operator from
flying debris, fragments of a fractured disc and accidental
contact with the attachment.
 Use only discs intended for your electric tool and the safety
hood intended for these discs. Discs not intended for the
electric tool cannot be covered in a suitable way and are
unsafe.
 Use discs only for the purpose they are intended for by the
manufacturer. Never use the side of a cutting disc for grind-
ing. Cutting discs are intended for cutting only. Lateral forces
may cause fracture.
