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.

Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and Abrasive Cutting-

Off Operations:
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your

power tool and the specific guard designed for the selected

wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not designed cannot be

adequately guarded and are unsafe.
b) The guard must be securely attached to the power tool

and positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount

of wheel is exposed towards the operator. The guard helps to

protect operator from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact

with wheel.
c) Wheels must be used only for recommended applications.

For example: do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel.

Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side

forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
d) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct

size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges

support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.

Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel

flanges.
e) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools.

Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable for the higher

speed of a smaller tool and may burst.

Additional Safety Warnings Specific for Abrasive Cutting-Off

Operations:
a) Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive

pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut.

Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility

to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of

kickback or wheel breakage.
b) Do not position your body in line with and behind the

rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation, is

moving away from your body, the possible kickback may propel the

spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
c) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any

reason, switch off the power tool and hold the power tool

motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never

attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while the

wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate

and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let

the wheel reach full speed and carefully reenter the cut. The

wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in

the workpiece.

e) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize

the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend

to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the

workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on

both sides of the wheel.
f) Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into existing

walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or

water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.

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.

Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing 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.

Appliances used at many different locations including open air should

be connected via a residual current device (FI, RCD, PRCD) of 30mA

or less.
Sawdust and splinters must not be removed while the machine is

running.
Only plug-in when machine is switched off.
Never reach into the danger area of the plane when it is running.
Always use the auxiliary handle.
Always use the protecting cap when roughing-down and separating.
Immediately switch off the machine in case of considerable vibrations

or if other malfunctions occur. Check the machine in order to find out

the cause.
Always use and store the grinding disks according to the

manufacturer’s instructions.
When grinding metal, flying sparks are produced. Take care that

no persons are endangered. Because of the danger of fire, no

combustible materials should be located in the vicinity (spark flight

zone). Do not use dust extraction.
Due care should be taken that no sparks or sanding dust flying from

the workpiece come into contact with you.
When separating stone the guide shoe must be used!
The adjusting nut must be tightened before starting to work with

the machine.
The workpiece must be fixed if it is not heavy enough to be steady.
