tilation slots must be kept clean. If it should be-
come necessary to clear dust, first disconnect
the tool from the mains supply (use non metal-
lic objects to clean the dust) and avoid damag-
ing internal parts. The power tool will overheat
under deteriorated cooling due to the clogged with
dust ventilation slots.
▪ Power tools must not be used outdoors in
rainy weather, or in moist environment (after
rain) or in close vicinity with easily flammable
liquids and gases. The working place should be
well lit.

Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other acces-
sory. 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 at the point of the binding.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or in-
correct operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
а) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and posi-
tion your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle,
if provided, for maximum control over kick-
back or torque reaction during start-up. The
operator can control torque reactions or kickback
forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating acces-
sory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where
power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kick-
back will propel the tool in direction opposite to the
wheel's movement at the point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners, sharp
edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the
accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing
have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory
and cause loss of control or kickback.
Safety warnings specific for polishing operations:
а) Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing
bonnet or its attachment strings to spin freely.
Tuck away or trim any loose attachment strings.
Loose and spinning attachment strings can entan-
gle your fingers or snag on the workpiece.
Safety warnings specific for sanding operations:
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc
paper. Follow manufacturer's recommenda-
tions, when selecting sanding paper. Larger
sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad
presents a laceration hazard and may cause snag-
ging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
Safety warnings specific for wire brushing opera-
tions:
a) 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.
b) 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.
