additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
27.6 6) Service
a)Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
27.7 7) Safety instructions for abra‐
sive wheel applications
27.7.1 Safety instructions for cut-off
machines
a)The guard for the electrical power tool must be
mounted securely and set to achieve a maximum
level of safety, i. e. the smallest possible part of
the abrasive element points openly towards the
operator. Make sure that you and no other per‐
son is outside the area of the rotating grinding
wheel. The guard is designed to protect the oper‐
ator against fragments and accidental contact
with the abrasive element.b)Use only bound rein‐
forced or diamond-tipped abrasive wheels for
your electrical power tool. Just because the
accessory can be mounted to the electrical
power tool, this does not guarantee safe
use.c)The permissible speed of the tool being
used must be at least as high as the maximum
speed indicated on the electrical power tool. An
accessory that rotates quicker than permitted
can break and fly around.d)Abrasive elements
must only be used for the recommended applica‐
tions. For example: Never grind with the side sur‐
face of an abrasive wheel. Abrasive wheels are
designed to remove material with the edge of the
wheel. Lateral forces applied to these abrasive
elements can break them. e)Always use an
undamaged clamping flange of the correct size
and form for the abrasive wheel you have
chosen. Suitable flanges support the abrasive
wheel and reduce the risk of the abrasive wheel
breaking.f)Do not use worn abrasive wheels from
larger electrical power tools. Abrasive wheels for
larger electrical power tools are not designed for
the high engine speeds of smaller electrical
power tools and can break.g)The outer diameter
and thickness of the tool being used must corre‐
spond to the dimensions of your electrical power
tool. Incorrectly measured tools that are used
cannot be adequately shielded or control‐
led.h)Abrasive wheels and flanges must fit
exactly onto the grinding spindle of your electri‐
cal power tool. Tool bits that do not fit exactly
onto the grinding spindle of the electrical power
tool, rotate unevenly, vibrate a lot and can result

27 General Power Tool Safety Warnings
in loss of control.i)Do not use damaged abrasive
wheels. Before each use, check the abrasive
wheels for splitting and cracks. If the electrical
power tool or abrasive wheel falls, check if it is
damaged or use an undamaged abrasive wheel.
Once you have checked the abrasive wheel and
started it, make sure that you and everyone else
nearby remain outside of the area of the rotating
abrasive wheel and allow the machine to run for
a minute at maximum speed. Damaged abrasive
wheels usually break during this test
period.j)Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on the operation, wear full face pro‐
tection, eye protection or safety glasses. Where
appropriate, wear a dust mask, ear protection,
protective gloves or a special apron that keeps
small ground particles and material particles
away from you. Eyes must be protected against
foreign bodies flying around that occur with cer‐
tain applications. The dust mask or respirator
must filter the dust created during the operation.
If subjected to loud noise for a longer period of
time, you may suffer from loss of hearing.k)Make
sure that other persons keep a safe distance to
your work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment. Frag‐
ments from the workpiece or broken tool bits can
fly off and cause injuries even when the person
is outside of the direct work area.l)Hold the
machine only by the insulated handle surfaces
when carrying out work where the tool bit can hit
hidden power lines. Contact with a live line can
also render metal machine parts live and cause
an electric shock.n)Never put the electrical
power tool down before the tool bit has fully stop‐
ped. The rotating tool bit could make contact with
the surface, causing you to loose control of the
electrical power tool.o)Do not leave the electrical
power tool running whilst carrying it. Your cloth‐
ing may get caught in the rotating tool bit and the
tool bit may penetrate your body.p)Clean the
vents of your electrical power tool regularly. The
engine fan attracts dust into the housing and the
large volume of metal dust collected can be an
electrical hazard.q)Do not use the electrical
power tool near combustible materials. Sparks
can ignite these materials.

instructions
Kickback is the sudden reaction as a result of a
catching or blocked rotating abrasive wheel.
