Special safety instructions
for sanding
a) Do not use overly large sand-
paper sheets; follow the
manufacturer's information for
sandpaper sizes. Sandpaper sheets
which extend beyond the sanding plate
can cause injuries and can block, tear
the sandpaper, or cause kickback.
Kickback and
corresponding safety
instructions
Kickback is the sudden reaction from a
hooked or blocked attachment tool such
as a grinding disc, grinding plate, wire
brush etc. Hooking or blocking leads to an
abrupt stop of the rotating attachment tool.
This causes an uncontrolled power tool to
accelerate in a direction counter to the ro-
tational direction of the attachment tool.
If, for example, a grinding 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 operator, 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 incor-
rectly operating the power tool. It can be
avoided by suitable precautionary meas-
ures, such as those described below.
a) Firmly hold the power tool and
bring your body and your arms
into a position in which you can
resist the kickback forces. Al-
ways use the additional handle
if available to give you the best
26
control over kickback forces or
reaction toque during accele-
ration. The operator can master the
kickback and reaction force through
suitable precautions.
b) Never bring your hand near to
rotating attachment tools. The
attachment tool can run over your hand
in the kickback.
c) Keep your body away from the
area in which the power tool
would move during a kickback.
The kickback drives the power 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 corners etc. Prevent the
attachment tools from recoiling
from the workpiece and jam-
ming. 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 blades. Such attachment tools
frequently cause a kickback or loss of
control over the power tool.
Warning! Sandpaper sanding
can result in the formation
of dusts hazardous to health
(e. g. arising from materials
such as metal or some types
of wood), which can pose a
risk to the operator or per-
sons nearby. Make sure that
the workplace is well venti-
lated. Always wear safety
goggles, safety gloves and
respiratory protection.
