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 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

conditions.

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 the auxiliary

handle, if provided, 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.

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

movement at the point of snagging.

d) Use special care when working 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 manufacturers

recommendations when selecting sanding

paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond the

sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may

cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.

3.4 Safety Warnings Specific for Polishing:

Loose parts on the polishing guard, especially

the fastening cords, are not permitted. Tuck

away or shorten the fastening cords. Loose,

spinning fastening cords may make contact with

your fingers or become caught in the workpiece.

---------------------------------------------------------

Accessories must be rated for at least the

speed recommended on the tool warning label.

Wheels and other accessories running over

ratedspeed can fly apart and cause injury.

Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when

performing an operation where the cutting tool

may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.

Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal

parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.

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 lambskin

polishing disc with cord drive always work with the

hand protection guard installed.

Do not use separate reducing bushings or adapters

to adapt tools with a large hole.

The tool must lay flat and be secured against

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

be sufficiently supported.

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 14. Technical

Specifications for more information on the spindle

length and thread.

Always wear protective goggles.

During machining, of metals in

particular, conductive dust can form

deposits inside the machine. This can lead to the

transfer of electrical energy onto the machine

housing. This can mean a temporary danger of

electric shocks. This is why it is necessary when the

machine is running to blow compressed air through

the rear ventilation slots of the machine regularly,

frequently and thoroughly. Here, the machine must

be held firmly.

We recommend using a stationary extractor system

and connecting a residual current circuit-breaker

(FI) upstream. When the machine is shut down via

the

FI circuit-breaker, it must be checked and cleaned.

See chapter 9. Cleaning for more information on

cleaning the motor.

Dust from material such as paint containing lead,

some wood species, minerals and metal may be

harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may

cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases

to the operator or bystanders.
