tric tool at regular intervals. The motor
fan draws dust into the housing and a heavy
accumulation of metal dust can pose electric
risks.
o) Never use the electric tool in the vicinity
of infl ammable materials. Sparks may igni-
te these materials.
p) Do not use any plug-in tools which requi-
re liquid coolant. Use of water or other liquid
coolants could result in electric shocks.
Other safety information for all applications
Recoil is the sudden reaction as a result of a
jammed or blocked rotating plug-in-tool, such as
a grinding wheel, grinding disks, wire brushes etc.
Jamming or blocking leads to an abrupt stop of
the rotating plugin-tool. This causes acceleration
of any uncontrolled electric tools rotating in the
opposite direction to the plug-in-tool at the point
of blockage.
If for example a grinding wheel gets jammed or
blocked by the workpiece, the edge of the grin-
ding wheel could get stuck and the grinding wheel
could break free or recoil, if it should come into
contact with the workpiece. The grinding wheel
moves toward or away from the operator, depen-
ding upon the direction of rotation of the disk at
the point of blockage. Grinding wheels could also
be broken if this occurs.
Recoil is the result of incorrect or wrong use of the
electric tool. It can be prevented by suitable
precautions, as described below.
a) Hold the electric tool securely and move
your body and your arms into a position
in which you can absorb the force crea-
ted by the recoil. Always use the additi-
onal handle (if there is one) to give you
the maximum possible control over recoil
forces or reaction moments whilst the
tool is operating at full speed. The opera-
tor can manage the recoil and reaction forces
by taking suitable precautions.
b) Never move your hand into the vicinity of
rotating plug-in tools. The plug-in tool may
catch your hand if it suff ers recoil.
c) Keep your body out the area into which
the electric tool will be moved if it suff ers
recoil.
Recoil will throw the electric tool into the
direction opposite to the grinding/sanding
wheel at the point at which it is blocked.
d) Work with particular care around corners,
sharp edges, etc. Ensure that the plug-in
tool does not bounce off or jam in the

workpiece.
At corners, sharp edges or if it bounces, the
rotating plug-in tool will tend to jam. This will
result in loss of control or recoil.
e) Do not use chain saw blades or toothed
saw blades. These plug-in tools often cause
recoil or loss of control of the electric tool.
Special safety information for grinding/san-
ding and cutting-off
a) Use only grinding/sanding wheels that
have been approved for your electric tool
and the safety hood designed for these
grinding/sanding wheels. Grinding/sanding
wheels which are not designed for the electric
tool cannot be shielded adequately and are
unsafe.
b) The safety hood must be securely faste-
ned to the electric tool and adjusted so
that it off ers maximum safety, in other
words it prevents the smallest possible
part of the grinding/sanding wheel from
striking the operator. The safety hood helps
to protect the operator from broken pieces,
accidental contact with the cutting-off wheel,
and sparks which could ignite clothing.
c) Grinding/sanding wheels may only be
used for the applications for which they
are recommended. For example: Never
grind/sand a side surface area with a
cutting off wheel. Cutting-off wheels are
designed for removing material with the edge
of the wheel. Applying lateral force to these
cutting-off wheels can cause them to break.
d) Always use undamaged clamping fl anges
of the correct size and shape for the
grinding/sanding wheel you have selec-
ted. Suitable fl anges support the grinding/
sanding wheel and thus reduce the risk of the
grinding/sanding wheel breaking. Flanges for
cutting-off wheels may diff er from the fl anges
for other grinding/sanding wheels.
e) Do not used worn grinding/sanding
wheels from larger electric tools. Grinding/
sanding wheels for larger electric tools are
not designed for the higher speeds of smaller
electric tools and may break.
Special safety instructions for sandpapering
a) Do not use oversized sandpaper; follow
the manufacturer's instructions on the
size of the sandpaper. Sandpaper that
projects beyond the sanding disk may cause
injuries, result in the sandpaper becoming
jammed or torn, or produce kick-back.
