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.
Always hold the electric tool firmly when start-
k)
ing it. When running up to full speed, the reaction
torque of the motor can cause the electric tool to
turn.
l) If possible, use clamps to hold the workpiece
in place. Never hold a small workpiece in one
hand and the electric tool in the other while
using it. By clamping small workpieces, you have
both hands free for better control of the electric
tool. When cutting round workpieces such as
wooden dowels, bar stock or pipes, they tend to
roll away, causing the tool attachment to jam and
be flung towards you.
m) Keep the power cable away from rotating tool
attachments. If you lose control of the device, the
cable can be severed or caught and your hand or
arm pulled into the rotating tool attachment.
Never put the power tool down until the tool at-
n)
tachment being used has come to a complete
standstill. The rotating tool attachment can come
into contact with the surface and cause you to lose
control of the power tool.
o) After changing tool attachments or adjust-
ments to the device, tighten the collet nut,
clamping chuck or other fasteners securely.
Loose fasteners can shift unexpectedly and cause
loss of control; unattached rotating components
will be thrown out violently.
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at
p)
your side. Accidental contact of your clothing with
the rotating tool attachment could lead to an injury.
Clean the ventilation slits of your power tool
q)
regularly. The engine fan draws dust into the
housing and a strong accumulation of metal dust
can cause electrical hazards.
r) Never use the power tool in the vicinity of in-
flammable materials. Sparks can ignite such
materials.
s) Do not use any tool attachments which require
liquid coolant. The use of water or other liquid
coolants may lead to an electric shock.
Further safety instructions for all applications
Kick-back and corresponding safety instructions
Kick-back is the sudden reaction resulting from a caught
or jammed rotating tool attachment, such as a grinding
disc, grinding belt, wire brush, etc. Catching or jamming
results in the rotating tool attachment stopping abruptly.
As a result, an uncontrolled electric tool is accelerated
against the direction of rotation of the tool attachment.
For example, if a grinding disc is snagged or pinched by
the workpiece, the edge of the disc that is entering into
the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material
causing the disc to climb out or kick out. The grinding
disc 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 un-
der these conditions.
Kickback is the result of incorrect or deficient use of the
power tool. It can be prevented by suitable precaution-
ary measures, as described in the following.
Hold the power tool firmly in both hands and
a)
position your body and arms so they can ab-
sorb the force of a kickback. The operator can
control the kick-back forces by taking appropriate
precautionary measures.
b) Take special care when working near corners,
sharp edges, etc. Avoid allowing the accesso-
ry tool to bounce back from the workpiece or
jam. The rotating tool attachment tends to jam at
corners, sharp edges or when it bounces back.
This causes a loss of control or kick-back.
c) Do not use a serrated saw blade. Such accesso-
ries often cause a kickback or loss of control over
the power tool.
Always guide the tool attachment into the ma-
d)
terial in the same direction in which the cutting
edge leaves the material (corresponds to the
same direction in which the chips are ejected).
Guiding the electric tool in the wrong direction
causes the cutting edge of the tool attachment to
break out of the workpiece, pulling the electric tool
in that feed direction.
e) Always clamp the workpiece firmly when using
rotary files, cutting wheels, high-speed milling
tools or carbide milling tools. Even with slight
canting in the groove, these tool attachments get
caught and can cause a kick-back. If a cutting
wheel gets caught, it usually breaks. If rotary files,
high-speed milling tools or carbide milling tools get
caught, the tool insert may jump out of the groove
and cause loss of control of the electric tool.
