j) Ensure that any bystanders are at a safe
distance from your work area. Anyone who
enters the workspace must wear personal
protective equipment. Fragments of the work­
piece or broken accessory tools can fly off and
cause injury – even outside of the immediate
working area .
k) Hold the appliance only by its insulated grip-
ping surfaces when you are performing work
during which the power tool may hit hidden
power lines or its own power cord. Contact
with a live cable may also cause metal parts of
the appliance to become live and could result
in an electric shock .
l) Always hold the power tool firmly when
starting it. When running up to full speed, the
torque of the motor can cause the power tool
to twist .
m) If possible, use clamps to hold the workpiece
in position. Never hold a small workpiece
in one hand and the power tool in the other
while you are using it. By clamping small
workpieces, you keep both hands free to better
control the power tool .
n) Hold the power cord away from any rotating
accessories. If you lose control of the appliance,
the cord may get cut or caught and your hand
or arm could get caught in the rotating acces­
sory tool .
o) Never put the power tool down until the
accessory tool has come to a complete stand-
still. The rotating accessory tool could come
into contact with the surface and cause you to
lose control of the power tool .
p) When changing accessory tools or changing
settings, tighten the collet nut, the chuck or
other fasteners tightly. Loose fasteners can shift
unexpectedly and lead to loss of control . This
can result in unsecured, rotating components
being ejected violently .

q) Do not leave the power tool running whilst
carrying it. Accidental contact between your
clothing and the rotating accessory tool could
lead to an injury (for example, a cut or puncture
wound) .
r) Clean the ventilation slits of your power tool
regularly. The engine fan draws dust into the
housing, and a strong accumulation of metal
dust can cause electrical hazards .
s) Do not use the power tool in the vicinity of
flammable materials. Sparks can ignite these
materials .
t) Do not use any accessory tools that require
liquid coolant. The use of water or other liquid
coolants may lead to an electric shock .

Kickback and corresponding safety instruc-
tions
Kickback is a sudden reaction caused when a
rotating accessory tool, e .g . grinding disc, abrasive
belt, wire brush, etc ., catches or jams and leads
to an abrupt stop of the rotating accessory tool .
If this happens, an uncontrolled power tool will
turn rapidly against the direction of rotation of the
accessory tool .
If, for example, a grinding disc catches or jams, the
edge of the grinding disc that is projecting into the
workpiece can get caught and break off the
grinding disc or cause a kickback . The grinding
disc may then jerk violently towards or away from
the operator, depending on the rotation direction of
the disc at the blockage . This can also cause the
grinding discs to break .
A kickback is caused by improper or incorrect use
of the power tool . This can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as described below .
a) Hold the power tool firmly in both hands and
position your body and arms so they can
absorb the force of a kickback. By taking
adequate precautions, the operator can stay in
control of the kickback forces .
