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 re-
started 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 manufacturer's recom-
mendations 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 kick-
back.
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 eas-
ily 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.
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! Protect the discs from grease
or impacts!
Grinding discs must be stored and handled with care in accordance with the manufacturer's in-
structions.
Never use parting grinder discs for roughing work! Do not apply pressure to the side of parting
grinder discs.
The workpiece must lay flat and be secured against slipping, e.g. using clamps. Large workpiec-
es 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 ac-
commodate the full length of the spindle. The thread in the accessory must match the thread on
the spindle. See technical Specifications for more information on the spindle length and thread.
Use of a fixed extractor system is recommended.
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.
