coolants may result in electrocution or shock.

FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL OPERATIONS

Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, sanding band,
brush or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating
accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction
opposite of the accessory's rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of
the wheel that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material
causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or away from
the operator, depending on direction of the wheel's movement at the point of pinching.
Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to
allow you to resist kickback forces. The operator can control kickback forces, if
proper precautions are taken.
EN
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback
over your hand.

c) Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback
occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel's movement
at the point of snagging.
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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR GRINDING AND CUTTING-OFF
OPERATIONS
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 grinding surface of centre depressed wheels must be mounted below
the plane of the guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel that projects through the
plane of the guard lip cannot be adequately protected.
c) 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
