 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.
 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.
Recoil and appropriate safety
instructions
Kickback is the sudden reaction to a pinched
or snagged rotating insertion tool, such as
a sanding disc, sanding pad, wire brush, etc.
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.
 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
electric power tool in the direction
opposite to the movement of the sanding
disc at the point of pinching.
 Work especially carefully near corners,
sharp edges, etc. Prevent the insertion
tool from recoiling off the workpiece and
jamming. The rotating insertion tool has
a tendency to snag on corners, sharp

edges or if it bounces. This causes a loss
of control or kickback.
 Do not use a chain or toothed saw blade.
Such insertion tools frequently cause
a kickback or the loss of control of the
electric power tool.
Special safety instructions for
sanding:
 Use only those grinding tools which are
permitted for your electric power tool.
Sanding tools, which are not designated
for use with the electric power tool, cannot
be adequately shielded and are unsafe.
 Sanding tools may be used for the
recommended applications only.
For example: Never grind with the side
area of a cutting-off wheel. Cutting-off
wheels are designed to remove material
with the edge of the wheel. If a lateral force
is applied to these sanding tools, they may
shatter.
 Always use undamaged clamping flanges
in the correct size and shape for the
grinding disc you have selected.
Suitable flanges support the grinding disc
and therefore reduce the risk of the
grinding disc breaking. Flanges for
cutting-off wheels may differ from the
flanges for other grinding discs.
 Do not use worn grinding discs from larger
electric power tools. Grinding discs for
larger electric power tools are not
designed for the higher speeds of smaller
electric power tools and may break.
Special safety instructions for
sanding:
 Do not use oversized sanding sheets, but
follow the manufacturer's specifications
for the size of sanding sheets.
Sanding sheets which project over the
sanding pad may cause injuries as well as
block and rip the sanding sheets or cause
a kickback.
Special safety instructions
for polishing:
 Do not allow any loose parts of the
polishing hood, in particular fixing cords.
Stow or shorten the fixing cords.
Loose, entrained fixing cords may trap
your fingers or become entangled in the
workpiece.
