Wet stone grinder
 Never put down the electric power tool
until the insertion tool has come to
a standstill. The rotating insertion tool
may come into contact with the support
surface, possibly resulting in you losing
control of the electric power tool.
 Never leave the electric power tool running
while you are carrying it.
Your clothing may become caught
by accidental contact with the rotating
insertion tool which may then drill into
your body.
 Regularly clean the ventilation slots
on your electric power tool.
The motor fan draws dust into the
housing; a large build-up of metal
dust may cause electrical hazards.
 Never use the electric power tool near
combustible materials.
Sparks may ignite these materials.
Recoil and appropriate safety
instructions
Kickback is the sudden reaction to a pinched
or snagged rotating insertion tool, such as
a sanding disc, sanding pad, wire brush, etc.
Pinching or snagging may cause a rotating
insertion tool to stop abruptly. As a result, an
uncontrolled electric power tool is accelerated
against the direction of rotation of the insertion
tool at the blocking point.
 Hold the electric power tool firmly and
position your body and arms to allow you
to absorb kickback forces. If fitted, always
use the auxiliary handle to ensure the best
possible control over the recoil forces
or reaction torques when acceleration
occurs. The operator can control kickback
and reaction forces by taking appropriate
precautions.
 Keep your hands away from the rotating
insertion tool. The insertion tool may kick-
back over your hand.
 Keep your body out of the area into
which the electric power tool moves
when a recoil occurs.
Kickback propels the electric power tool
in the direction opposite to the movement
of the sanding disc at the point of pinching.
 Work especially carefully near corners,
sharp edges, etc. Prevent the insertion
tool from recoiling off the workpiece
and jamming.
The rotating insertion tool has a tendency
to snag on corners, sharp edges or if it
bounces. This causes a loss of control or
kickback.
 Do not use a chain or toothed saw blade.
Such insertion tools frequently cause
a kickback or the loss of control of the
electric power tool.
Special safety instructions
for sanding:
 Use only those grinding tools which are
permitted for your electric power tool.
Sanding tools, which are not designated
for use with the electric power tool, cannot
be adequately shielded and are unsafe.
 Sanding tools may be used for the recom-
mended applications only. For example:
Never grind with the side area of a cutting-
off wheel. Cutting-off wheels are designed
to remove material with the edge of the
wheel. If a lateral force is applied to these
sanding tools, they may shatter.
 Always use undamaged clamping flanges
in the correct size and shape for the
grinding disc you have selected.
Suitable flanges support the grinding
disc and therefore reduce the risk
of the grinding disc breaking.
Flanges for cutting-off wheels may differ
from the flanges for other grinding discs.
 Do not use worn grinding discs from larger
electric power tools. Grinding discs for
larger electric power tools are not designed
for the higher speeds of smaller electric
power tools and may break.
Special safety instructions
for sanding:
 Do not use oversized sanding sheets, but
follow the manufacturer's specifications
for the size of sanding sheets.
Sanding sheets which project over the
sanding pad may cause injuries as well
as block and rip the sanding sheets or
cause a kickback.
Special safety instructions
for polishing:
 Do not allow any loose parts of the
polishing hood, in particular fixing cords.
Stow or shorten the fixing cords.
Loose, entrained fixing cords may trap
your fingers or become entangled in the
workpiece.
