damage or install undamaged bits and
cutters. After you have inspected and
installed the bits and cutters, keep your-
self and any other persons in the vicinity
away from the plane of the rotating bits
and cutters and run the device at maxi-
mum rotational speed for one minute.
Damaged bits and cutters usually break
during this test time.
h) Wear protective equipment. Depending
on the application, use full face protec-
tion, eye protection or protective gog-
gles. If appropriate, wear a dust mask,
hearing protection, protective gloves or a
special apron capable of stopping small
abrasive and material particles. The eyes
are to be protected from fl ying debris gene-
rated during various operations. Dust masks
or respirators must fi lter the dust generated
during the operation. If you are exposed to
loud noise for a long time, you may suffer
hearing loss.
i) Keep other people at a safe distance
away from your work area. Anyone who
enters the working area must wear per-
sonal protective equipment. Fragments of
the work piece or broken bits and cutters
can fl y away and cause injuries even bey-
ond the immediate area of work.
j) Hold the device only by its insulated grip
surfaces if you perform work where the
bits and cutters could contact hidden
power cables or your own mains cable.
Contact with a live cable can energize metal
device parts and cause electric shock.
k) Keep the mains cable away from rota-
ting bits and cutters. If you lose control of
the device, the mains cable could be cut or
snagged, and your hand or your arm could
get pulled into the rotating bits and cutters.
l) Never set down the power tool until the bits
and cutters come to a complete stop. Tur-
ning bits and cutters grab the depositing sur-
face and pull the power tool out of your control.
m) Do not allow the power tool to run while
you are carrying it. Your clothing could get
snagged accidentally in the rotating bits and
cutters, causing the power tool to pierce
your body.
n) Regularly clean the ventilation slits of
your power tool. The motor fan sucks dust
into the housing and a strong accumulation
of metal dust can cause electrical hazards.
o) Do not use the power tool in the vicinity
of combustible materials. Sparks could
ignite these materials.
p) Do not use bits and cutters that require
liquid coolants. The use of water or other
liquid coolants can cause electric shock.
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.
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 move-
ment 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 precau-
tions 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 ope-
rator can control kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
b) Use special care when working corners,
sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and
