Supplementary safety instructions
for working with wire brushes
Special safety instructions for working with
wire brushes:
a) Be aware that the brush can lose wire bristles
even during normal operation. Do not over-
stress the wires by applying excessive pres-
sure to the brush. The wire bristles can easily
penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b) Allow the brush to run at working speed for
at least one minute before applying it to the
workpiece. Ensure that no one is standing in
front of or in line with the brush during this
time. Loose pieces of wire could fly off during
the run-in period.
c) Aim the rotating steel brush away from your-
self. When working with these brushes, small
particles and minute pieces of wire can fly off
at great speed and pierce skin.

Working safely

■ Keep your workspace tidy. Clutter in the work
area can cause accidents.
■ Take account of environmental influences!
Do not expose the power tool to rain. Do not
use the power tool in wet or moist environments.
Ensure that your workspace is adequately lit.
Do not use power tools where there is a risk of
explosion or fire.
■ Protect yourself from electric shocks! Avoid
body contact with grounded surfaces (e.g.
pipes, radiators, electric cookers, refrigerators
and freezers).
■ Keep other people at a distance! Do not allow
other people, especially children, to touch the
power tool or the cord. Keep them out of your
work area.
■ Store unused power tools safely! Unused
power tools should be placed in a dry, high-up
or closed-off place out of the reach of children.
■ Do not overload your power tool! You will
work better and more safely in the specified
performance range.

■ Use the right power tool for the job! Do not
use low-performance tools for heavy work.
Do not use the power tool for purposes for
which it is not intended. For example, do not
use a circular saw to cut tree branches or logs.
■ Wear suitable clothing! Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewellery that could get caught in moving
parts. Wear non-slip footwear when working
outdoors. If you have long hair, wear a hairnet.
■ Use protective equipment! Wear safety
goggles. Use a breathing mask for work
which produces a lot of dust.
■ Connect the dust extraction device! If there
are connections for dust extraction and collec-
tion, make sure that these are connected and
used properly.
■ Do not use the cord for purposes for which
it is not intended! Do not pull on the cord to
unplug the power tool. Protect the cord from
heat, oil and sharp edges.
■ Secure the workpiece! Use clamps or a vice to
hold the workpiece firmly in place. This is much
safer than simply holding it in your hand.
■ Do not overreach! Keep both feet on the
ground an maintain your balance at all times.
■ Maintain tools with care! Keep the cutting
tools sharp and clean to be able to work better
and more safely. Follow the instructions on lubri-
cation and exchanging tools. Check the power
cord regularly and have it replaced by a certi-
fied specialist if it is damaged. Check extension
cords regularly and replace them if they are
damaged. Keep the handles dry, clean and free
from oil and grease.
■ Unplug the appliance from the mains socket!
When the power tool is not in use, before main-
tenance and when changing tools.
■ Never leave any tool key attached! Check
that all keys and adjusting tools are removed
before switching the appliance on.
■ Avoid accidentally starting the appliance!
Ensure that the switch is switched to off before
inserting the plug into the wall socket.
