tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss
of control or kickback.
• Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or
toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control over the power tool.
Additional safety instructions for grinding and cutting
off operations
• 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.
• The grinding surface of the 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.
• 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
operator. The guard helps to protect operator from
broken wheel fragments, accidental contact with wheel
and sparks that could ignite clothing.
• Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with the
side of the cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are
intended for peripheral grinding; side forces applied to
these wheels may cause them to shatter.
• Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of
correct size and shape for your selected wheel.
Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing
the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off
wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges.
• Do not use worn down wheels from larger power
tools. Wheels intended for larger power tools are not
suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may
burst.
Additional safety warnings specific for abrasive
cutting off operations
• Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive
depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the
loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the
wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel
breakage.
• Do not position your body in line with and behind
the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of
operation, is moving away from your body, the possible
kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power
tool directly at you.
• 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
corrective 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 kickback.
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 oversized
sanding
disc
recommendations, when selecting sanding paper.
Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sanding
pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause
snagging, tearing of the disc, or kickback.
Safety warnings specific for wire brushing operations
• 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 warnings
Obligatory use of safety goggles!
• Before performing any work on the tool disconnect
the plug from power supply.
• Power supply must correspond to the voltage
written on the tool's nameplate!
• Do not use a tool with a damaged supply cord.
Replace it immediately with a new one. Damaged
supply cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• If
supply cord
immediately disconnect the plug from power
supply.
• Connect the power tool to power socket only when
the switch is in the OFF position.
• When working outside, power socket must be
protected by a fault interrupting device FID.
• In case of power failure, immediately disconnect
the plug from power socket and release the trigger
switch to move into the OFF position.
• Use the corresponding detecting devices for
searching hidden lines. A contact with an electric line
can cause a fire or an electric shock. Damages to gas
lines can cause an explosion, and an intrusion into
water supply network can cause material damage or an
electric shock.
• Use only extension cable with minimum wire cross-
