Additional safety guidelines on grinding and abra-
sive cutting.
a) Special safety guidelines on grinding and abra-
sive cutting:
b) Use only the grinding tools approved for your
power tool and the protective guard designed for
these grinding tools. Grinding tools that are not
designated for the power tool cannot be adequate-
ly guarded and are therefore unsafe.
c) The protective guard must be attached securely
to the power tool and adjusted in such a way as
to achieve maximum safety, i.e. the smallest
possible part of the grinding tool is open to the
operator. The protective guard is meant to protect
the operator from fragments and accidental con-
tact with the grinding tool.
d) Grinding tools may only be used for the recom-
mended applications. For example: Never grind
with the lateral surface of a cutting disc. Cutting
discs are intended for removing material with the
edge of the disc. Lateral forces on these grinding
tools can shatter them.
e) Always use undamaged clamping flanges in the
correct size and shape for your selected sanding
disc. Suitable flanges support the sanding disc
and reduce the danger of sanding disc breakage.
Flanges for cutting discs can differ from other
sanding disc flanges.
f) Do not use worn sanding discs from larger pow-
er tools. Sanding discs for larger power tools are
not designed for higher rotational speeds of
smaller power tools and can shatter.
Further special safety guidelines on abrasive
cutting:
a) Avoid jamming the cutting disc or applying too
great contact pressure. Do not make excessively
deep cuts. Overstressing the cutting disc increas-
es its load and its susceptibility to twisting or jam-
ming and thus the possibility of recoil or grinding
tool breakage.
b) Avoid the area in front of and behind the rotating
cutting disc. If you move the cutting disc in the
work piece away from you, recoil may catapult the
power tool with the rotating disc directly towards
you.
c) If the cutting disc binds or if you interrupt work,
switch off the device and hold it still until the
disc has come to a complete stop. Never at-
tempt to pull the running cutting disc out of the
cut, otherwise recoil may occur. Determine and
eliminate the cause for binding.
d) Do not switch the power tool back on as long as
it is in the work piece. Allow the cutting disc to
reach its full rotational speed before carefully
continuing the cut. Otherwise, the disc can get
snagged, jump out of the work piece or cause re-
coil.
e) Support sheets or large work pieces to minimize
the risk of recoil caused by a jammed cutting
disc. Large work pieces can sag under their own
weight. The work piece must be supported on
both sides of the disc; namely near the separating
cut as well as at the edge.
f) Be especially careful when making "pocket
cuts" in existing walls or other blind areas. The
dipping cutting disc can cause recoil when cutting
into gas or water lines, electric cables or other ob-
jects.
Special safety guidelines on sanding:
a) Do not use any overdimensioned sanding disc
papers, but comply with manufacturer's specifi-
cations on sanding paper size. Sanding papers
that extend beyond the grinding disc can cause in-
juries as well as lead to binding, tearing of the
sanding discs or recoil.
