For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is
entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick
out. The wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel's
movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and / or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can
be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
▶ Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the power tool and position your body and arms to allow
you to resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over
kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The operator can control torque reactions or kickback
forces, if proper precautions are taken.
▶ Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
▶ Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will
propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel's movement at the point of snagging.
▶ Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the
accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and
cause loss of control or kickback.
▶ Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade, segmented diamond wheel with a peripheral gap
greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
Safety warnings specific for polishing operations:
▶ Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing bonnet or its attachment strings to spin freely. Tuck
away or trim any loose attachment strings. Loose and spinning attachment strings can entangle your
fingers or snag on the workpiece.

Additional safety instructions
▶ Use the product and accessories only when they are in perfect working order.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the product or accessories in any way.
▶ Keep the air vents clear at all times. Risk of burn injuries due to blocked air vents!
▶ Wear eye protection, a hard hat and ear protection while the product is in use.
▶ You and everyone in the work zone must wear personal protective equipment while the product is in
use. Depending on the application, wear a face shield, eye protection or safety glasses that can protect
against flying fragments of the workpiece. If appropriate, wear a dust mask, hearing protection, protective
gloves and a workshop apron that can protect against flying fragments of the workpiece.
▶ Wear protective gloves when changing the accessory tool. Touching the accessory tool can result in
cuts and burns.
▶ Wear eye protection. Flying fragments present a risk of injury to the body and eyes.
▶ Dust produced by grinding, sanding, cutting and drilling can contain dangerous chemicals. Some
examples are: lead or lead-based paints; brick, concrete and other masonry products, natural stone
and other products containing silicates; certain types of wood, such as oak, beech and chemically
treated wood; asbestos or materials that contain asbestos. Determine the exposure of the operator and
bystanders by means of the hazard classification of the materials to be worked. Implement the necessary
measures to restrict exposure to a safe level, for example by the use of a dust collection system or by
the wearing of suitable respiratory protection. The general measures for reducing exposure include:
▶ working in an area that is well ventilated,
▶ avoidance of prolonged contact with dust,
▶ directing dust away from the face and body,
▶ wearing protective clothing and washing exposed areas of the skin with water and soap.
▶ Take frequent breaks and do physical exercises to improve the blood circulation in your fingers. High
vibration during long periods of work can lead to disorders of the blood vessels and nervous system in
the fingers, hands and wrists.
▶ Do not attach a belt hook to this product.
▶ Switch the product on only after you have brought it to the working position.
▶ Wait until the product has come to a complete stop before you lay it down.
▶ Risk of injury by falling tools and/or accessories. Before starting work, check that the battery and installed
accessories are secure.
▶ Do not touch rotating parts.
▶ Never use the product without the guard.
