 The bores of the cutting-off wheels
and clamping flanges must exactly
match the grinding spindle of your
electric power tool.
Insertion tools, which do not fit exactly on the
grinding spindle of the electric power tool,
rotate unevenly, vibrate violently and may
result in loss of control.
 Do not use any damaged insertion tools.
Before use, always check the insertion
tools for splinters and cracks. If the electric
power tool or the insertion tool is dropped,
check for damage or use an undamaged
insertion tool. When you have checked
and inserted the tool, ensure that you
and anybody in the vicinity remain outside
the plane of the rotating insertion tool
and leave the power tool running for one
minute at maximum speed.
Damaged insertion tools usually break during
this test time.
 Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on the application, wear full
face protection, eye protection or goggles.
If appropriate, wear a dust mask, hearing
protection, protective gloves and/or
a special apron which protect you from
small sanding and material particles.
You should protect your eyes from foreign
objects which are ejected for different appli-
cations. Dust and respirator masks must filter
the dust which is generated by the power
tool for the particular application.
If you are exposed to loud noise for
a prolonged period, you may suffer
hearing loss.
 Ensure that other persons are situated
at a safe distance from the work area.
Anyone who enters the work area must
wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of the workpiece or broken
insertion tools may fly off and cause injuries
even outside the direct working area.
 If the insertion tool is at risk of coming into
contact with concealed power cables
or the power cord itself, hold the power
tool by the insulated grip surfaces only.
Contact with a live cable may also cause
metal parts of the appliance to become
live and result in an electric shock.

 Keep the power cord away from rotating
insertion tools.
If you lose control of the appliance, the power
cord could be severed or become caught
and your hand or arm may strike the rotating
insertion tool.
 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 acci-
dental 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 kickback over your
hand.
