Dust or breathing masks must filter the dust gener-
ated during use. Prolonged exposure to high inten-
sity noise may cause hearing loss.
i. Ensure that other people remain at a safe
distance from your workspace. Anyone who
enters the workspace must wear personal pro-
tective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of
a broken tool attachment may fly away and cause
injury beyond immediate area of operation.
j. When performing work during which the tool
attachment can meet with concealed power
lines or its own mains cable, only hold the
electric tool by the insulated gripping surfac-
es. 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
tool attachments. If you lose control, the cord
may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may
be pulled into the spinning tool attachment.
l. Never put the power tool down until the tool at-
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.
m. Do not run the power tool while carrying it at
your side. Accidental contact of your clothing with
the rotating tool attachment 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 could ignite these
materials.
p. Do not use any tool attachments which require
liquid coolant. The use of water or other liquid
coolants may lead to an electric shock.

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 wheel, wire brush, etc. catching
or jamming results in the rotating tool attachment stop-
ping abruptly. As a result, an uncontrolled electric tool
is accelerated against the direction of rotation of the
tool attachment at the blocking point.
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 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 under these conditions.
Kick-back is the result of incorrect use of the electric
tool and/or deficient working conditions. It can be pre-
vented by suitable precautionary measures, as de-
scribed in the following.
a. Hold the power tool firmly in both hands and
position your body and arms so they can ab-
sorb the force of a kickback. Always use the
additional handle, if available, so that you
have the maximum possible control over the
kickback force or reaction forces at full speed.
By taking adequate precautions, the operator can
stay in control of the kickback and reaction forces.
b. Never hold your hand close to a rotating tool
attachment. The tool attachment could jump out
of your hand if there is a kickback.
c. Avoid having any part of your body in the re-
gion in which the power tool is likely to move
in event of a kickback. The kickback will force the
power tool in the opposite direction to the direction
of rotation of the grinding disc at the blockage.
d. Be particularly careful when working around
corners, sharp edges, etc. Prevent tool attach-
ments from hitting and catching on the work-
piece. The rotating tool attachment tends to jam at
corners, sharp edges or when it gets caught. This
causes a loss of control or kick-back.
e. Do not use the chainsaw blade to cut wood, a
segmented diamond cutting wheel with a seg-
ment gap over 10 mm or a toothed saw blade.
Such tool attachments frequently cause kick-back
and loss of control.
Special safety instructions for polishing:
a. Do not allow any loose parts of the polish-
ing cover, especially fastening string. Stow
or shorten the fastening string. Loose, rotat-
ing fastening cords can catch your fingers or get
caught in the workpiece.
