ive action to eliminate the cause of
wheel pinching or snagging.
• Do not restart the cutting oper-
ation in the workpiece. Let the
wheel reach full speed and care-
fully 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 kickback.
Large workpieces tend to sag un-
der their own weight. Supports
must be placed under the work-
piece 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 protrud-
ing wheel may cut gas or water
pipes, electrical wiring or objects
that can cause kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific
For Wire Brushing
Operations
• Be aware that wire bristles are
thrown by the brush even during
ordinary operation. Do not over-
stress the wires by applying ex-
cessive load to the brush. The
wire bristles can easily penetrate
light clothing and/or skin.
• Allow brushes to run at operat-
ing speed for at least one minute
before using them. During this
time no one is to stand in front
or in line with the brush. Loose
bristles or wires will be discharged
during the run-in time.
• Direct the discharge of the spin-
ning wire brush away from you.
Small particles and tiny wire frag-
ments may be discharged at high
38
velocity during the use of these
brushes and may become imbed-
ded in your skin.
Residual risks
There will always be residual risks
even if you operate this device ac-
cording to the instructions. The fol-
lowing hazards may occur in connec-
tion with the type and design of this
device:
• Lung damage if suitable respiratory
protection is not worn.
• Hearing damage if suitable ear pro-
tection is not worn.
• Health injuries resulting from the
effect of hand/arm vibration in the
event that the tool is used over a
longer period of time or is not used
and maintained properly.
• Damage to health as a result of:
• touching the area of the grinding
tool which is not covered;
• ejection of parts of workpieces
or damaged grinding discs.
WARNING! Danger due to elec-
tromagnetic field generated while the
tool is in operation. Under certain cir-
cumstances, this field may negat-
ively affect active or passive med-
ical implants. In order to reduce the
danger of serious or fatal injuries, we
recommend that individuals who wear
medical implants should consult their
doctor and the manufacturer of the
implant before operating the tool.
Preparation
WARNING! Risk of injury due to
unintentional start-up. Only insert
the battery into the device once the
device is fully prepared for use.
