 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
grinding and cut-off grinding:
 Use only those sanding tools authorised
for use with your electric power tool and
the guard designated for this sanding tool.
Sanding tools, which are not designated for
use with the electric power tool, cannot be
adequately shielded and are unsafe.
 The guard must be attached securely to
the electric power tool and adjusted to
ensure maximum safety, i.e. the smallest
possible part of the sanding tool is
exposed to the operator.
The guard should protect the operator from
fragments and accidental contact with the
sanding tool.
 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 cut-off
grinding:
 Avoid blocking the cutting-off wheel or
exerting too high contact pressure.
Do not make excessively deep cuts.
Overloading the cutting-off wheel increases
its stress and the susceptibility to twisting or
blocking and therefore the possibility of
a kickback or the grinding tool breaking.
 Avoid the area in front of and behind
the rotating cutting-off wheel.
When you move the cutting-off wheel in the
workpiece away from yourself, a kickback
may cause the electric power tool and rotating
wheel to be ejected directly towards you.
 If the cutting-off wheel jams or you
interrupt work, switch the power tool
off and hold it steady until the wheel
has come to a standstill.
Never attempt to pull the still rotating cutting-
off wheel out of the cut, otherwise a kickback
may occur. Establish and eliminate the cause
of the jam.
 Do not switch the electric power tool on
again while it is in the workpiece. First let
the cutting-off wheel reach full speed
before you carefully continue cutting.
Otherwise, the wheel may jam, jump out of the
workpiece or cause a kickback.
 Be particularly careful when making
"pocket cuts" in existing walls or other
secluded areas.
When the cutting-off wheel is inserted, it may
cause a kickback if it cuts into gas or water
lines, electric cables or other objects.
