Use special care when working corners, sharp edges
u
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.
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or
u
toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback
and loss of control.
Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and Abrasive
Cutting-Off Operations:
Use only wheel types that are recommended for your
u
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 centre depressed wheels
u
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
u
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
u
applications. For example: do not grind with the side
of 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
u
correct size and shape for your selected wheel.
Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the
posibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels
may be different from grinding wheel flanges.
Do not use worn down wheels from larger power
u
tools. Wheel intended for larger power tool is 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
u
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth
of cut. Over stressing 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
u
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.
(Original instructions)
When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for
u
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.
u
Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter
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
u
minimise 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
u
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 wire
brushing operations
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush
u
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
u
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.
Warning! Contact with or inhalation of dusts
arising from applications may endanger the
health of the operator and possible bystanders.
Wear a dust mask specifically designed for
protection against dust and fumes and ensure
that persons within or entering the work area are
also protected.

Safety of others

This tool is not intended for use by persons (including
u
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
u
play with the appliance.
