Always maintain a firm grip on the power
tool when starting.
As it runs up to full speed, the reaction
torque of the motor may cause the power
tool to twist.
If possible, use clamps to secure the
workpiece. Never hold a workpiece in one
hand while holding and using the power
tool in the other.
By clamping small workpieces, both hands
are free to keep the power tool under control.
When cutting round workpieces such as
dowels, rods or pipes, these have a tendency
to roll away which would cause the insert to
bite and pull hard towards you.
Keep the power cord away from rotating
insertion tools.
If you lose control of the appliance, the power
cord could be severed or become caught and
your hand or arm may strike the rotating
insertion tool.
Never put down the electric power tool
until the insertion tool has come to
a standstill.
The rotating insertion tool may come into
contact with the support surface, possibly
resulting in you losing control of the electric
power tool.
Tighten the chuck or other securing
elements firmly after changing inserts or
performing settings on the equipment.
Loose securing elements may change their
position unexpectedly and lead to loss of
control; unsecured, rotating components will
be ejected under high force.
Never leave the electric power tool
running while you are carrying it.
Your clothing may become caught by
accidental contact with the rotating insertion
tool which may then drill into your body.
Regularly clean the ventilation slots on
your electric power tool.
The motor fan draws dust into the housing;
a large build-up of metal dust may cause
electrical hazards.
Never use the electric power tool near
combustible materials.
Sparks may ignite these materials.
Never use insertion tools which require
liquid coolants.
The use of water or other liquid coolants may
result in electric shock.

Special safety instructions for
sanding
Only use sanding media approved
for your power tool and only for the
recommended activities.
Recoil and appropriate safety
instructions
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating insert.
Pinching or snagging may cause a rotating
insertion tool to stop abruptly. As a result, an
uncontrolled electric power tool is accelerated
against the direction of rotation of the insertion
tool at the blocking point.
A recoil occurs if the electric power tool is used
incorrectly or improperly. A recoil can be
prevented by appropriate precautions as
described below.
Hold the electric power tool firmly and
position your body and arms to allow
you to absorb kickback forces. If fitted,
always use the auxiliary handle to ensure
the best possible control over the recoil
forces or reaction torques when
acceleration occurs.
The operator can control kickback and
reaction forces by taking appropriate
precautions.
Keep your hands away from the rotating
insertion tool.
The insertion tool may kickback over your
hand.
Keep your body out of the area into which
the electric power tool moves when
a recoil occurs.
Kickback propels the power tool in the
direction opposite to the movement of the
insert at the point of pinching.
Always direct the insert into the material
in the same direction in which the cutting
edge exits the material (equates to the
same direction in which sawdust is
discharged).
Guiding the power tool in the wrong direction
will cause the cutting edge of the insert to
break out of the workpiece and pull the power
tool in the same direction.
