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 correc-

tive action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.

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.

Support panels or any oversized workpiece to

minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kick-

back. 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.

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

When sanding, do not use excessively over-

sized sanding disc paper. Follow manufactur-

ers

recommendations,

sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending

beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration haz-

ard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc, or

kickback.

Safety warnings specific for wire brushing oper-

ations

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.

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 warnings

Wear safety goggles.

When working with the machine, always hold

it firmly with both hands and provide for a

secure stance. The power tool is guided more

secure with both hands.

when

selecting

English–4

Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped

with clamping devices or in a vice is held more

secure than by hand.

Do not work materials containing asbestos.

Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.

Take protective measures when dust can

develop during working that is harmful to

one's health, combustible or explosive. Exam-

ple: Some dusts are regarded as carcinogenic.

Wear a dust mask and work with dust/chip extrac-

tion when connectable.

Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials

are particularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys

can burn or explode.

Never use the machine with a damaged cable.

Do not touch the damaged cable and pull the

mains plug when the cable is damaged while

working. Damaged cables increase the risk of an

electric shock.

Connect machines that are used in the open

via a residual current device (RCD).

Use suitable detectors to determine if utility

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. Pene-

trating a water line causes property damage or may

cause an electric shock.

When working stone, use dust extraction. The

vacuum cleaner must be approved for the

extraction of stone dust. Using this equipment

reduces dust-related hazards.

Use a cutting guide when cutting stone. With-

out sideward guidance, the cutting disc can jam and

cause kickback.
