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.
j) 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 tool attachment 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. Contact with 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 rotating tool attachment can
come into contact with the surface and cause you
to lose control of the power tool.
n) Do not run the power tool while carrying it
at your side. Accidental contact of your cloth-
ing with the rotating tool attachment could lead
to an injury.
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 corresponding safety instructions
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.
26 | GB
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 entering
into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the ma-
terial 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 region
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 ro-
tation of the grinding disc at the blockage.
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.
