Supplementary safety instructions
for grinding and abrasive cutting
Special safety instructions for grinding and
abrasive cutting
a) Use only the grinding accessories approved
for your power tool and only for the recom-
mended applications. Example: Never grind
with the side surface of a cutting disc. Cutting
discs are designed to remove material with the
edge of the disc. Any lateral application of
force on these grinding tools can lead to break-
age.
b) Use only undamaged mandrels of the correct
size and length and without undercut on
the shoulder for conical and straight pencil
grinders. Using an appropriate mandrel re-
duces the risk of breakages.
c) Avoid cutting disc jams or excessive contact
pressure. Do not make any excessively deep
cuts. Overloading the cutting disc increases the
stress and likelihood of tilting or jamming and
thus the possibility of kickback or breakage of
the grinding tool.
d) Avoid putting your hand in the area in front
of or behind the rotating cutting disc. When
you move the cutting disc away from your hand,
it is possible, in the event of a kickback, that the
power tool along with the rotating disc could be
thrown out directly towards you.
e) If the cutting disc jams or you stop working,
switch the tool off and hold it steady until the
disc has completely stopped turning. Never
attempt to pull a rotating cutting disc out of
a cut. This could lead to kickback. Identify and
remove the cause of the jam.
f) Do not switch the power tool back on as long
as it is in the workpiece. Allow the cutting disc
to reach its full speed before you carefully
continue the cut. Otherwise, the disc may jam,
jump out of the workpiece or cause kickback.

g) Support panels or large workpieces to reduce
the risk of the cutting disc jamming and caus-
ing a kickback. Large workpieces can bend
under their own weight. The workpiece must be
supported on both sides, namely in the vicinity
of the cut, and also at the edge.
h) Be particularly careful when making "pocket
cuts" into existing walls or other obscured
areas. The inserted cutting disc may cut into
gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or other
objects that can cause kickback.
Supplementary safety instructions
for working with wire brushes
Special safety instructions for working with
wire brushes:
a) Be aware that the brush can lose wire bristles
even during normal operation. Do not over-
stress the wires by applying excessive pressure
to the brush. The wire bristles can easily penet-
rate light clothing and/or skin.
b) Allow the brush to run at working speed for
at least one minute before applying it to the
workpiece. Ensure that no one is standing in
front of or in line with the brush during this
time. Loose pieces of wire could fly off during
the run-in period.
c) Aim the rotating steel brush away from your-
self. When working with these brushes, small
particles and minute pieces of wire can fly off
at great speed and pierce skin.
