• Never put your hand close to the rotating
tool. The tool may move over your hand in the
event of kickback.
• Keep your body out of the area that the power
tool would jump to in the event of kickback.
Kickback pushes the power tool in the opposite
direction to the movement of the sanding disc at
the blocked point.
• Be especially careful around corners, sharp
edges etc. Avoid tools bouncing off work
pieces and becoming jammed. The rotating
tool will tend to jam at corners, sharp edges or
when it bumps against something. This will lead
to a loss of control or kickback.
• Do not use chained or toothed saw blades.
Such tools will often cause kickback of the loss of
control over the power tool.
Special safety notes regarding grinding and
abrasive cutting:
• Only use grinding tools permitted for use with
your power tool and the protective hood
designed for use with these tools. Grinding
tools that have not be designed for use with the
power tool cannot be sufficiently shielded and are
thus unsafe.
• Grinding tools may only be used for the pur-
poses recommended. For example: Never
use the side surface of a cutting disc to
grind. Cutting discs are designed to be used to
remove material with the edge of the disc. Lateral
forces on these tools may break them.
• Always used undamaged tensioning flanges
in the correct size and shape for the cutting
disc you have selected. Suitable flanges sup-
port the cutting disc and thus reduce the risk of
the disc breaking. Flanges for cutting discs may
differ from flanges for other grinding discs.
• Do not use worn grinding disc from larger
power tools. Grinding discs for larger power
tools are not designed to cope with the higher
revolutions of smaller power tools and may
break.
Further additional safety notes regarding
abrasive cutting:
• Avoid jamming the cutting disc or applying
too high a pressure. Do not carry out any
excessively deep cuts. Overloading the cutting
disc increases the pressure and the tendency to
tilt or block and thus increases the risk of kick-
back or of the disc breaking.
• Avoid the area in front of and behind the rotat-
ing disc. If you operate the device in such a way
that the cutting disc in the work piece is moved
away from you, in the event of kickback, the
power tool and the rotating disc may be thrown
towards you.
• If the cutting disc is jammed or you need to
interrupt your work, switch the power tool off,
and hold it motionless until the disc has come
to a standstill. Never attempt to pull a still
operating cutting disc out of the cut as this
may cause kickback. Investigate and take cor-
rective actions to eliminate the cause of the jam.

• Do not switch the power tool back on as long
as it remains stuck in the work piece. Allow
the cutting disc to achieve the full revolutions
before you continue to cut carefully. Other-
wise, the disc may get caught, jump out of the
work piece or cause kickback.
• Support panels or large work pieces to mini-
mise the risk of kickback caused by a trapped
disc. Large work pieces may bend under their
own weight. The work piece must be supported
on both sides, near the line of cut and near the
edge.
• Be very carefully when making plunge cuts in
existing walls or in other areas that are diffi-
cult to see. The plunging disc may cut into gas
or water pipes, electrical cables or other objects
and cause kickback.
Special safety notes regarding sandpaper
sanding
• Do not use over dimensioned sanding
sheets, instead following the manufacturer's
instructions regarding size. Sanding sheets
that protrude beyond the sanding plate may
cause injuries, jamming and tearing of the sheets
or cause kickback.
Special safety notes regarding polishing
• Do not permit parts of the polishing hood to
be loose, in particular, fixing cords. Conceal
or shorten fixing cords. Loose, rotating fixing
cords may catch your fingers or get trapped in the
work piece.
Special safety notes regarding working with
wire brushes
• Please note that wire brushes will loose wire
bristles during normal operation. Do not over-
load the wires by applying too high a pres-
sure. Flying wire bristles may easily pass
through very thing clothing and/or skin.
• If a protective good is recommended, make
sure that the hood and the wire brush do not
make contact. Wheel and cup brushes may
increase in diameter as a result of pressure and
centrifugal forces.
Additional safety notes
• Prior to starting work, use appropriate tool to
determine whether there are any hidden sup-
ply lines are located on the area you are work-
ing in. If in doubt, ask the relevant supply ser-
vices. Contact with power lines may cause fire
and electrical shock. Damaging a gas pipe may
cause an explosion. Damaging a water pipe
leads to considerable property damage and may
cause electrical shock.
• Secure the work piece. Use tensioning equip-
ment or a vice to secure the work piece to help
prevent kickback or uncontrolled flying of the
work piece (e.g. when getting jammed in the work
piece).
• Keep your workplace clean. Mixed contamina-
tion by various materials is particularly danger-
ous. Light metal dust (e.g. aluminium) can ignite
or explode easily.
