various applications. The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of filtrating particles generated by
the particular application. Prolonged exposure to
high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
j) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area must
wear personal protective equipment. Fragments
of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away
and cause injury beyond immediate area of
operation.
k) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a
"live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
l) Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut
or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into
the spinning accessory.
m) Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop. The
spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull
the power tool out of your control.
n) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at
your side. Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.
o) Regularly clean the power tool's air vents.
The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing
and excessive accumulation of powdered metal
may cause electrical hazards.
p) Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
q) Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution or shock.

Kickback and related warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any
other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid
stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn
causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in
the direction opposite of the accessory's rotation at
the point of the binding.
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.
a) 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.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory. Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) 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.
4.3 Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding
with Diamond Cup Wheels:
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended
for your power tool and the specific guard
designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for
which the power tool was not designed cannot be
adequately guarded and are unsafe.
b) The safety guard must be securely attached
to the power tool. Always direct the power tool
so that the wheel is not openly exposed to the
operator. The guard helps to protect the operator
from broken fragments, accidental contact with the
wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing.
c) Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications.
d) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that
are the correct size and shape for your selected
accessories. The correct flanges support the
accessories.
4.4 Additional Safety Instructions
WARNING – Always wear protective
goggles.
Wear a suitable dust protection mask.
Wear ear protectors.
WARNING – Always operate the power tool
with two hands.
Use elastic cushioning layers if they have been
supplied with the sanding media and if required.
Observe the specifications of the accessory manu-
facturer! Protect the accessories from grease and
physical impact.
