workshop apron capable of stopping small
abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye pro-
tection must be capable of stopping flying debris
generated by various operations. Dust or breathing
masks must filter the dust generated during use.
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 tool at-
tachment may fly away and cause injury beyond
immediate area of operation.
k) When performing work during which the tool
attachment can meet with concealed power
lines or its own mains cable, only hold the
power tool by the insulated gripping surfac-
es. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
l) 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.
m) Never put the power tool down until the tool
attachment being used has come to a com-
plete standstill. 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) 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.
p) Never use the power tool in the vicinity of in-
flammable materials. Sparks can ignite such
materials.
q) Do not use any tool attachments which require
liquid coolant. The use of water or other liquid
coolants may lead to an electric shock.
Safety instructions for all applications
Kick-back 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 power tool is accelerated
against the direction of rotation of the tool attachment
at the blocking point.
For example, if a grinding disc is snagged or pinched
by the workpiece, the edge of the disc that is enter-
ing 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 under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of incorrect or deficient use of
the power tool.
It can be prevented by suitable precautionary meas-
ures, as described 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 di-
rection of rotation of the grinding disc at the block-
age.
d) Be particularly careful when working in the
area of the corners, sharp edges etc. Prevent
insert tools from bouncing against the work-
piece and getting caught. The rotating tool at-
tachment 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.
