b)
This electric tool is not suitable for working with
wire brushes, polishing and cut-off grinding. Oper-
ations for which the power tool was not designed
may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
c)
Do not use accessories which are not specifically
designed and recommended by the tool manufac-
turer. Just because the accessory can be attached
to your power tool, it does not assure safe oper-
ation.
d)
The rated speed of the accessory must be at least
equal to the maximum speed marked on the power
tool. Accessories that rotate faster than permitted
can break and fly off at high speed.
e)
The outside diameter and the thickness of your ac-
cessory must be within the capacity rating of your
power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot
be adequately guarded or controlled.
f)
Insert tools with threaded inserts must fit exactly
on the thread of the grinding spindle. For insert
tools that are mounted by means of a flange, the
hole diameter of the insert tool must match the
mounting diameter of the flange. Insert tools which
are not precisely attached to the electric tool rotate
unevenly, vibrate very strongly and can cause a
loss of control.
g)
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each
use, check insert tools such as grinding discs for
chipping and cracks, grinding wheels for cracks,
wear or heavy wear. If power tool or accessory
is dropped, inspect for damage or install an un-
damaged accessory. Once you have checked and
used the insert tool, ensure that you and all other
persons in the vicinity remain outside the plane of
the rotating insert tool and allow the device to run
for one minute at the maximum speed. Damaged
insert tools usually break during the test period.
h)
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending
on application, use face shield, safety goggles or
safety glasses. Where appropriate, wear a dust
mask, hearing protection, protective gloves or
a special apron that will keep small grinding and
material particles away from you. The eye protec-
tion must be capable of stopping flying debris gen-
erated by various operations. Dust or breathing
masks must filter the dust generated during use.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may
cause hearing loss.
i)
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area
must
wear
personal
protective
equipment.

Fragments of the workpiece or broken insert tools
can fly away and cause injuries even outside the
direct working range.
j)
When performing work during which the insert tool
can meet with concealed power lines or its mains
cable, only hold the electric tool by the insulated
gripping surfaces. Contact with a live power line
can also electrify metal device parts and lead to
an electric shock.
k)
Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory.
If you lose control of the device, the mains cable
can be severed or caught and your hand or arm
pulled into the rotating insert tool.
l)
Never lay the power tool down until the accessory
has come to a complete stop. The spinning acces-
sory may grab the surface and pull the power tool
out of your control.
m) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your
side. Accidental contact with the spinning acces-
sory could snag your clothing, pulling the acces-
sory into your body.
n)
Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The mo-
tor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing and
excessive accumulation of powdered metal may
cause electrical hazards.
o)
Do not operate the power tool near flammable ma-
terials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
p)
Do not use accessories that require liquid cool-
ants. Using water or other liquid coolants may re-
sult in electrocution or shock.
Kick-back and corresponding safety instructions
Kick-back is the sudden reaction resulting from a
caught or jammed rotating insert tool, such as a grind-
ing disc, grinding wheel, wire brush, etc. Catching or
jamming results in the rotating insert tool stopping
abruptly. As a result, an uncontrolled electric tool is
accelerated against the direction of rotation of the tool
attachment at the blocking point.
For example, if a grinding disc catches or jams in the
workpiece, the edge of the grinding disc that plunges
into the workpiece can get caught, causing the grinding
disc to break away or kick back. 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.
