g. Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on the work being
performed, wear a safety mask covering your whole face, eye protection or
safety goggles. If appropriate, wear a dust mask, ear protection, safety gloves
or special aprons which keep small grinding and material particles away from
you.
Your eyes should be protected from flying particles which are produced during va-
rious applications. Dust or breathing masks must filter the dust that is generated
during the application. You can suffer hearing loss if you are exposed to loud noise
for a long period of time.
h. Ensure that other people keep a safe distance away from your working
area. Everyone who enters the working area must wear personal protective
equipment.
Fragments of the workpiece or broken insertion tools can fly off and even cause inju-
ries outside of the direct working area.
i.
Hold the electric tool exclusively on the insulated grip surfaces when
performing work in which the insertion tool may strike concealed power
supply lines or its own power cable.
Contact with a live power line can also conduct electricity to metal parts of the tool
and lead to an electric shock.
j.
Keep the mains cable away from rotating insertion tools.
If you lose control of the tool, the mains cable could be severed or caught up and
your hand or your arm could be caught in the rotating insertion tool.
k. Never put the power tool down before the insertion tool has come to a complete
standstill.
The rotating tool can come into contact with the surface that it is placed on, which
can result in you losing control of the power tool.
l.
Do not operate the tool when you are walking with it.
Your clothing could be caught up with the rotating insertion tool due to accidental
contact with it, and the insertion tool could drill a hole into your body.
m. Regularly clean the ventilation slits of your power tool.
The motor fan draws dust into the casing, and if significant amounts of metal dust
accumulate this can cause electrical hazards.
n. Do not use the power tool in the vicinity of flammable materials.
Sparks can ignite these materials.
o. Do not use any power tools that require liquid refrigerants.
The use of water or other liquid refrigerants can lead to an electric shock.
Further safety directions for all applications
Recoil and corresponding safety directions
Recoil is a sudden reaction that occurs when a rotating insertion tool – e.g. a grinding disk,
grinding pad, wire brush, etc. – gets caught or jammed. This leads to abrupt stoppage of
the rotating insertion tool. As a result, an uncontrolled power tool accelerates against the
direction of the insertion tool at the locking point.
