the device is used over a longer period
of time or is not used and maintained
properly.
Warning! During operation, this
electric tool generates an electro-
magnetic field which, under certain
circumstances, may impair the
functionality of active or passive
medical implants. To reduce the risk
of serious or lethal injuries, we re-
commend that persons with medical
implants consult their doctor and the
manufacturer of their medical im-
plant before operating the machine.

Kickback and corresponding
precautions
Kickback is the sudden reaction from a
chopping or blocked grinder attachment
such as a grinding disc, grinding plate,
wire brush etc. Chopping or blocking
leads to sudden stopping of the rotating
attachment. This causes an uncontrolled
electric tool to accelerate in a direction
counter to the rotational direction of the
attachment tool. If, for example, a grind-
ing disc cuts into the workpiece or blocks
it, the edge of the grinding disc that digs
into the workpiece can get caught and,
through that, break off the grinding disc or
cause a kickback. The grinding disc then
moves towards or away from the opera-
tor, depending on the direction of rotation
of the disc at the blocked spot. Here, the
grinding discs can also break. A kickback
is caused by wrongly or incorrectly oper-
ating the electric tool. It can be avoided
by suitable cautionary measures, such as
described below.
34
a) Hold the electric tool very
firmly and bring your body and your
arm into a position in which you can
resist the kickback force. Always use
the supplemental handle if available to
give you the best control over kickback
force or reaction time during accele-
ration. The operator can master the
kickback and reaction force through
suitable precautions.
b) Never bring your hands near a rotating
attachment tool. The attachment tool
can run over your hand in the kickback.
c) Keep your body away from the area
in which the electric tool would move
during a kickback. The kickback drives
the electric tool in the counter-direction
to the rotation of the grinding disc at
the blocked spot.
d) Work particularly cautiously in corner
areas or where there are sharp cor-
ners etc. Prevent the attachment tools
from recoiling from the workpiece and
jamming. The rotating attachment tool
tends to jam when near corners, sharp
edges or when it recoils from such. This
causes a loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not use chain or toothed saw bla-
des. Such attachment tools frequently
cause a kickback or loss of control over
the electric tool.
