b)
Operations such as grinding, wire brushing,
polishing or cutting-off are not recommended
to be performed with this power tool. Opera-
tions for which the power tool was not designed
may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
c)
Do not use any accessories that have not been
specifically provided or recommended by the
manufacturer for this power tool. Just because
you can attach the accessories to your power tool
does not guarantee they are safe to use.
d)
The maximum speed of the accessory tool
used must be at least as high as the maximum
speed specified for the power tool. Accessories
which rotate faster than the maximum permissi-
ble rate can break and throw pieces into the air.
e)
The external diameter and thickness of the
accessory tool used must comply with the
dimensions of the power tool. Incorrectly di-
mensioned accessory tools cannot be sufficiently
shielded or controlled.
The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing
f)
pads or any other accessory must proper-
ly fit the spindle of the power tool. Insertion
tools that do not fit exactly on your electrical tool's
grinding spindle rotate unevenly, vibrate very
strongly and can cause a loss of control.
g)
Never use damaged accessory tools. Before
each use inspect the accessory such as abra-
sive wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad
for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for
loose or cracked wires. If the power tool or the
accessory tool in use is dropped, check to see
if it is damaged or use an undamaged acces-
sory tool. When you have checked and insert-
ed the accessory tool, ensure that you and any
other people in the vicinity remain outside of
the level of the rotating accessory tool and
allow the tool to rotate at maximum speed for
one minute. Damaged tool attachments usually
break during this test period.
h)
Wear personal protective equipment. De-
pending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. Where ap-
propriate, wear a dust mask, hearing pro-
tection, protective gloves or a special apron
that will keep small grinding and material
particles away from you. The eye protection
must be capable of stopping flying debris gen-
erated by various operations. Dust or breathing
masks must filter the dust generated during use.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may
cause hearing loss.
i)
Ensure that other people remain at a safe dis-
tance from your workspace. Anyone who en-
ters the workspace must wear personal pro-
tective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of
a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury
beyond immediate area of operation.
j)
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfac-
es only, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden wir-
ing or its own cord. Contact with a live wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool live
and could give the operator an electric shock.
k)
Keep the power cord away from any rotating
accessories. If you lose control, the cord may
be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be
pulled into the spinning accessory.
l)
Never put the power tool down until the acces-
sory tool being used has come to a complete
standstill. The rotating accessory tool can come
into contact with the surface and cause you to
lose control of the power tool.
m) Do not run the power tool while carrying it
at your side. Accidental contact of your cloth-
ing with the rotating attachment part could lead
to an injury.
n)
Clean the ventilation slits of your power tool
regularly. The engine fan draws dust into the
housing and a strong accumulation of metal dust
can cause electrical hazards.
o)
Never use the power tool in the vicinity of in-
flammable materials. Sparks can ignite such
materials.
p)
Do not use any accessory tools which require
liquid coolant. The use of water or other liquid
coolants may lead to an electric shock.
Safety instructions for all operations - Kickback
and related warnings
Kick-back is the sudden reaction resulting from a
caught or jammed rotating insert tool, such as a grind-
ing disc, grinding wheel, wire brush, etc. Catching or
jamming results in the rotating insert tool stopping
abruptly.
As a result, an uncontrolled electric tool is accelerated
against the direction of rotation of the tool attachment
at the blocking point.
