against the rotating plug-in tool.
l) Clean the air vents on your electric tool at
regular intervals. The motor fan draws dust
into the housing, and a heavy accumulation
of metal dust can pose electric risks.
m) Never use the electric tool in the vicinity
of infl ammable materials. Do not use the
electric tool if it is standing on a combus-
tible surface such as wood. Sparks might
ignite such materials.
n) Do not use plug-in tools which require li-
quid coolant. The use of water or other liquid
coolants can result in an electric shock.
2) Kickbacks and related safety information
A kickback is the sudden reaction to a rotating
cutting-off wheel when it becomes caught or jam-
med. The rotating plug-in tool is stopped abruptly,
causing an uncontrolled cutting-off machine to be
fl ung upwards towards the operator.
If a cutting-off wheel gets caught or jammed in
a workpiece, for example, the edge of the wheel
caught inside the workpiece might break off or
cause a kickback. Cutting-off wheels can also
fracture when this happens.
Kickback is the result of an electric tool being
used wrongly. It can be prevented by suitable pre-
cautions as described below.
a) Hold the electric tool securely and move
your body and your arms into a position
in which you can absorb the force crea-
ted by a kickback. The operator can handle
the kickback and reaction forces by taking
suitable precautions.
b) Avoid the area in front of and behind
the rotating cutting-off wheel. If kickback
occurs, the cutting-off machine will be fl ung
upwards towards the operator.
c) Do not use chain saw blades, wood
carving blades, toothed saw blades or
segmented diamond cutting wheels with
slots wider than 10 mm. These plug-in tools
often cause kickback or loss of control of the
electric tool.
d) Avoid blocking the cutting-off wheel or
applying excessive contact pressure.
Do not make any excessively deep cuts.
Overloading the cutting-off wheel will incre-
ase the stress on it and its susceptibility to
jam or block and therefore the possibility of
kickback or of the grinding wheel breaking.
e) If the cutting-off wheel jams or if you
interrupt your work, switch off the ma-
chine and hold it still until the wheel has
reached a complete standstill. Never

attempt to pull the cutting-off wheel out of the
cut while it is still rotating as this might result
in kickback. Find and rectify the cause of the
jamming.
f) Do not switch the electric tool on again
while it is inside the workpiece. Allow the
cutting-off wheel to reach its full speed before
you continue to cut with care. Otherwise the
wheel might become jammed, jump out of the
workpiece or cause a kickback.
g) Provide support for large workpieces
in order to reduce the risk of kickback
caused by a jammed cutting-off wheel.
Large workpieces might sag under their
own weight. The workpiece must be suppor-
ted on both sides of the wheel both near the
cut and also at the edge.
1. For your own safety, read and observe this
safety information for the cutting stand as well
as the safety instructions issued by the ma-
nufacturers of the electric tool and cutting-off
wheel with regard to cutting.
2. The cutting stand must always be securely
fastened to a workbench in a horizontal positi-
on.
3. Keep your workplace clean and well illumina-
ted.
4. Avoid abnormal working postures. Make sure
you stand squarely and keep your balance at
all times.
5. Never use the machine in the vicinity of in-
fl ammable materials, liquids or gases.
6. Wear safety goggles, a visor, a breathing
mask, an apron, safety shoes, long tight slee-
ves and gloves.
7. Keep children away. Do not allow other per-
sons, particularly children, to touch the tool.
Keep them out of your work area.
8. Never work without a guard over the cutting-
off wheel or without standard spark protec-
tion.
9. Always leave the safety devices in position
and make sure that they are in good working
order.
10. Always check the cutting-off wheel for cracks
or signs of damage. Replace cracked or da-
maged cutting-off wheels immediately.
11. Before starting, make sure that the cutting-off
wheel does not touch the workpiece.
12. Check in regular intervals that all screws, nuts
and bolts are fastened securely enough.
13. Make sure that the power cable is a safe
distance from the cutting-off wheel and the
working area.
