time, you may suffer hearing loss.
• Ensure that other people are at
a safe distance to your working
area. Anyone who enters the
working area should wear per-
sonal protective equipment. Bro-
ken bits from the piece being worked
or broken attachment tools can fly
away and cause injuries even beyond
the direct working area.
• Keep the cord away from the
rotating attachment tool. If you
lose control of the device, the power
cord can become separated or caught
and your hand or arm may be pulled
into the rotating attachment tool.
• Never put the electric tool down
before the attachment tool has
come to a full stop. The rotating
attachment tool can come into contact
with the surface upon which it is set,
whereby you could lose control of the
electric tool.
• Never allow the electric tool to
run while you are carrying it.
Your clothing may accidentally come
into contact with the rotating attach-
ment tool and get caught and the
attachment tool could drill into your
body.
• Clean the ventilation slots of
your electric tool routinely. The
motor air pulls dust into the housing
and, should too much metallic dust col-
lect, could cause electrical hazards.
• Never use the electric tool near
flammable material. Sparks could
ignite this material.
• Do not use attachment tools
which require liquid coolant.
Using water or another liquid coolant
could lead to electrical shock.

Kickback and corresponding pre-
cautions
Kickback is the sudden reaction from a
chopping or blocked grinder attachment
such as a grinding disc, grinding plate,
wire brush etc. Chopping or blocking
leads to sudden stopping of the rotating
attachment. This causes an uncontrolled
electric tool to accelerate in a direction
counter to the rotational direction of the
attachment tool. If, for example, a grind-
ing disc cuts into the workpiece or blocks
it, the edge of the grinding disc that digs
into the workpiece can get caught and,
through that, break off the grinding disc or
cause a kickback. The grinding disc then
moves towards or away from the opera-
tor, depending on the direction of rotation
of the disc at the blocked spot. Here, the
grinding discs can also break. A kickback
is caused by wrongly or incorrectly oper-
ating the electric tool. It can be avoided
by suitable cautionary measures, such as
described below.
a) Hold the electric tool very firmly and
bring your body and your arm into a
position in which you can resist the
kickback force. Always use the supple-
mental handle if available to give you
the best control over kickback force or
reaction time during acceleration. The
operator can master the kickback and
reaction force through suitable precau-
tions.
b) Never bring your hands near a rotating
attachment tool. The attachment tool
can run over your hand in the kick-
back.
