air and cause injuries even outside the immediate
vicinity of where you are working.
j) Hold the tool only by the insulated handles
when carrying out work during which the
plug-in tool could strike concealed power
cables or its own mains lead. Contact with a
live cable will also make the metal parts of the
tool live and will cause an electric shock.
k) Keep the power cable away from rotating
plug-in tools. If you lose control of the machine,
the mains lead may be cut or caught and your
hand or arm might be pulled into the rotating plug-
in tool.
l) Never put the electric tool down until the
plug-in tool has reached a complete
standstill. The rotating plug-in tool may come
into contact with the surface on which you place it
which could result in you losing control of the
electric tool.
m) Never leave the electric tool running whilst
you are carrying it. Your clothing can come into
contact with the rotating plug-in tool and the plug-
in tool could thus bore into your body.
n) Clean the ventilation slots on your electric
tool at regular intervals. The motor fan draws
dust into the housing and a heavy accumulation
of metal dust can pose electric risks.
o) Never use the electric tool in the vicinity of
inflammable materials. Sparks may ignite these
materials.
p) Do not use any plug-in tools which require
liquid coolant. Use of water or other liquid
coolants could result in electric shocks.
Other safety information for all applications
Recoil is the sudden reaction as a result of a jammed
or blocked rotating plug-in-tool, such as a grinding
wheel, grinding disks, wire brushes etc. Jamming or
blocking leads to an abrupt stop of the rotating plug-
in-tool. This causes acceleration of any uncontrolled
electric tools rotating in the opposite direction to the
plug-in-tool at the point of blockage.
If for example a grinding wheel gets jammed or
blocked by the workpiece, the edge of the grinding
wheel could get stuck and the grinding wheel could
break free or recoil, if it should come into contact with
the workpiece. The grinding wheel moves toward or
away from the operator, depending upon the direction
of rotation of the disk at the point of blockage.
Grinding wheels could also be broken if this occurs.
Recoil is the result of incorrect or wrong use of the
electric tool. It can be prevented by suitable
precautions, as described below.
a) Hold the electric tool securely and move your
16
body and your arms into a position in which
you can absorb the force created by the
recoil. Always use the additional handle (if
there is one) to give you the maximum
possible control over recoil forces or
reaction moments whilst the tool is operating
at full speed. The operator can manage the
recoil and reaction forces by taking suitable
precautions.
b) Never move your hand into the vicinity of
rotating plug-in tools. The plug-in tool may
catch your hand if it suffers recoil.
c) Keep your body out the area into which the
electric tool will be moved if it suffers recoil.
Recoil will throw the electric tool into the direction
opposite to the grinding/sanding wheel at the
point at which it is blocked.
d) Work with particular care around corners,
sharp edges, etc. Ensure that the plug-in tool
does not bounce off or jam in the workpiece.
At corners, sharp edges or if it bounces, the
rotating plug-in tool will tend to jam. This will
result in loss of control or recoil.
e) Do not use chain saw blades or toothed saw
blades. These plug-in tools often cause recoil or
loss of control of the electric tool.
Special safety information for grinding/sanding
and cutting-off
a) Use only grinding/sanding wheels that have
been approved for your electric tool and the
safety hood designed for these
grinding/sanding wheels. Grinding/sanding
wheels which are not designed for the electric
tool cannot be shielded adequately and are
unsafe.
b) The safety hood must be securely fastened
to the electric tool and adjusted so that it
offers maximum safety, in other words it
prevents the smallest possible part of the
grinding/sanding wheel from striking the
operator. The safety hood is designed to protect
the operator from broken pieces and accidental
contact with the grinding/sanding wheel.
c) Grinding/sanding wheels may only be used
for the applications for which they are
recommended. For example: Never
grind/sand a side surface area with a cutting-
off wheel. Cutting-off wheels are designed for
removing material with the edge of the wheel.
Applying lateral force to these cutting-off wheels
can cause them to break.
d) Always use undamaged clamping flanges of
the correct size and shape for the
grinding/sanding wheel you have selected.
