Kickback And Related Warnings - Würth ESF 500-E Universal Originalbetriebsanleitung

Do not run the power tool while carry-
m)
ing it at your side. Accidental contact with
the spinning accessory could snag your clothing,
pulling the accessory into your body.
Regularly clean the power tool's air
n)
vents. The motor's fan will draw the dust inside
the housing and excessive accumulation of pow-
dered metal may cause electrical hazards.
Do not operate the power tool near
o)
flammable materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
Do not use accessories that require
p)
liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid
coolants may result in electrocution or shock.

Kickback and Related Warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or
any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes
rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn
causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in
the direction opposite of the accessory's rotation at
the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or
pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel
that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the
surface of the material causing the wheel to climb
out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward
or away from the operator, depending on direction
of the wheel's movement at the point of pinching.
Abrasive wheels may also break under these con-
ditions. A recoil is the result of incorrect or improper
use of the power tool. It can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as described below.
Maintain a firm grip on the power
a)
tool and position your body and arm
to allow you to resist kickback forces.
Always use auxiliary handle, if provid-
ed, for maximum control over kickback
or torque reaction during start-up. The
operator can control torque reactions or kickback
forces, if proper precautions are taken.

Special safety instructions
b)
ing accessory. Accessory may kickback over
your hand.
Do not position your body in the area
c)
where power tool will move if kickback
occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in direction
opposite to the wheel's movement at the point of
snagging.
d)
sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and
snagging the accessory. The rotating attach-
ment tends to jam at corners or sharp edges or if it
rebounds from the workpiece. This causes a loss of
control or recoil.
e)
blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades
create frequent kickback and loss of control.
