I) Never lay the power tool down until the

accessory has come to a complete stop. The

spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull

the power tool out of your control.

m) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at

your side. Accidental contact with the spinning

accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the

accessory into your body.

n) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents.

The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing

and excessive accumulation of powdered metal

may cause electrical hazards.

o) Do not operate the power tool near flam-

mable materials. Sparks could ignite these mate-

rials.

p) Do not use accessories that require liquid

coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may

result in electrocution or shock.

3.2 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 to 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 condi-

tions.

Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or

incorrect operating procedures or conditions and

can be avoided by taking proper precautions as

given below.

a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and

position your body and arm to allow you to

resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary

handle, if provided, for maximum control over

kickback or torque reaction during start-up.

The operator can control torque reactions or kick-

back forces, if proper precautions are taken.

b) Never place your hand near the rotating

accessory. Accessory may kickback over your

hand.

c) Do not position your body in the area

where power tool will move if kickback occurs.

Kickback will propel

the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s move-

ment at the point of snagging.

d) Use special care when working around

corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and

snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or

bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating

accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.

e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving

blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create

frequent kickback and loss of control.

3.3 Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding

Operations:

a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding

disc paper. Follow manufacturer's recommen-

dations when selecting sanding paper. Larger

sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad

presents a laceration hazard and may cause snag-

ging, tearing of the disc or kickback.

3.4 Safety Warnings Specific for Polishing

Operations:

Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing

bonnet or its attachment strings to spin freely.

Tuck away or trim any loose attachment

strings. Loose and spinning attachment strings

can entangle your fingers or snag on the workpiece.

3.5 Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brush-

ing Operations:

a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the

brush even during ordinary operation. Do not

overstress the wires by applying excessive

load to the brush. The wire bristles can easily

penetrate light clothing and/or skin.

b) If the use of a guard is recommended for wire

brushing, do not allow any interference of the

wire wheel or brush with the guard. Wire wheel

or brush may expand in diameter due to work load

and centrifugal forces.

3.6 Additional Safety Instructions

WARNING – Always wear protective

goggles.

Use elastic cushioning layers if they have been

supplied with the abrasive and if required.

Observe the specifications of the tool or accessory

manufacturer!

Accessories must be stored and handled with care

in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

Ensure that accessories are installed in accordance

with the manufacturer's instructions.

The tool continues running after the machine has

been switched off.

When sanding and working with the sheepskin

polishing disc with cord drive always work with the

safety guard installed.

Do not use separate reducing bushings or adapters

to adapt tools with a large hole.

The workpiece must lay flat and be secured against

slipping, e.g. using clamps. Large workpieces must

be supported adequately.

If accessories with threaded inserts are used, the

end of the spindle may not touch the base of the

hole on the grinding tool. Make sure that the thread

in the accessory is long enough to accommodate

the full length of the spindle. The thread in the

accessory must match the thread on the spindle.

See page 3 and chapter 13. Technical Specifica-

tions for more information on the spindle length and

thread.
