Never place your hand near the rotating ac-
cessory. Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
Do not position your body in the area where
power tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in direction op-
posite to the wheel's movement at the point
of snagging.
Use special care when working corners,
sharp edges, etc. Avoid bouncing and snag-
ging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or
bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotat-
ing accessory and cause loss of control or
kickback.
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving
blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades
create frequent kickback and loss of control
over the power tool.
Additional safety instructions for grinding
Use only wheel types that are recommend-
ed for your power tool and the specific
guard designed for the selected wheel.
Wheels for which the power tool was not de-
signed cannot be adequately guarded and
are unsafe.
Wheels must be used only for recommend-
ed applications. For example: do not grind
with the side of the cut-off wheel. Abrasive
cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral
grinding; side forces applied to these wheels
may cause them to shatter.
Always use undamaged wheel flanges that
are of correct size and shape for your se-
lected 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.
Do not use worn down wheels from larger
power tools. Wheels intended for larger
power tools are not suitable for the higher
speed of a smaller tool and may burst.

Additional safety warnings
Wear safety goggles.
Use suitable detectors to determine if utili-
ty lines are hidden in the work area or call
the local utility company for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire
and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can
lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line
causes property damage or may cause an
electric shock.
Release the On/Off switch and set it to the
off position when the power supply is inter-
rupted, e. g., in case of a power failure or
when the mains plug is pulled. This prevents
uncontrolled restarting.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held
more secure than by hand.
Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted
with an BS 1363/A approved electric plug with
internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets,
it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fit-
ted in its place by an authorised customer serv-
ice agent. The replacement plug should have the
same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a
possible shock hazard and should never be in-
serted into a mains socket elsewhere.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a resid-
ual current device (RCD) with a rated residual
current of 30 mA or less.
