applications. Dust or filter masks must be used
to filter any dust created by the application.
Long-term exposure to loud noise can cause
a hearing loss.
i) Ensure that other people remain at a safe
distance from your workspace. Anyone who
enters the workspace must wear personal
protective equipment.
Fragments of the workpiece or broken acces-
sory tools can fly off and cause injury – even
outside the immediate working area.
j) Hold the power tool only by the insulated
handles when you are carrying out work in
which the accessory tool may come into
contact with concealed power cables or the
tool's own power cord. Contact with a live
wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool live and could give the operator an
electric shock.
k) Keep the power cord away from any rotating
accessories. If you lose control of the appli-
ance, the cord may get caught or cut and your
hand or arm could get caught in the rotating
accessory tool.
l) Never put the power tool down until the
accessory tool being used has come to a
complete standstill. The rotating accessory tool
can come into contact with the surface and
cause you to lose control of the power tool.
m) Do not leave the power tool running whilst
carrying it. Accidental contact of your clothing
with the rotating attachment part could lead to
an injury.
n) Clean the ventilation slits of your power tool
regularly. The engine fan draws dust into the
housing and a strong accumulation of metal
dust can cause electrical hazards.
o) Never use the power tool in the vicinity of
inflammable materials. Sparks can ignite such
materials.
p) Do not use any accessory tools which require
liquid coolant. The use of water or other liquid
coolants may lead to an electric shock.

Kickback and corresponding
safety instructions
Kickback is a sudden reaction caused when a
rotating accessory tool, e.g. sanding disc, sanding
plate, wire brush, etc., catches or jams. Catching or
jamming leads to an abrupt stop of the rotating
accessory tool. If this happens, an uncontrolled
power tool turns rapidly against the direction of
rotation of the accessory tool caught in the
blockage.
If, for example, a sanding disc catches or jams in a
workpiece, the edge of the sanding disc projecting
into the workpiece can get caught and break off
the sanding disc or cause a kickback. The sanding
disc can then fly in the direction of the operator or
away from him, depending on the direction of
rotation of the disc at the blockage. This can also
break sanding discs.
A kickback is caused by improper or incorrect use
of the power tool. This can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below.
a) Hold the power tool firmly in both hands and
position your body and arms so they can
absorb the force of a kickback. Always use
the additional handle, if available, so that
you have the maximum possible control over
the kickback force or reaction forces at full
speed. By taking adequate precautions, the
operator can stay in control of the kickback
and reaction forces.
b) Never hold your hand close to a rotating
accessory tool. The accessory tool could
jump out of your hand if there is a kickback.
c) Avoid having any part of your body in the
region in which the power tool is likely to
move in event of a kickback. The kickback will
force the electrical tool in the opposite direction
to the direction of rotation of the sanding disc at
the blockage.
d) Take special care when working near corners,
sharp edges, etc. Avoid allowing the accessory
tool to bounce back from the workpiece or
jam. The rotating accessory tool is more likely
to jam in corners or sharp edges or if it
bounces. This can cause a loss of control or
kickback.
