depending on the application. If reaso-
nable, wear a dust mask, ear protection,
safety gloves or special aprons to keep
small grinding and material particles
away from you. Protect your eyes from fl ying
foreign bodies which may be created by a
range of applications. Dust masks or respi-
ration masks must fi lter the dust generated
by the application. If you are exposed to loud
noise for a lengthy period of time, you may
suff er hearing loss.
i) Ensure that others keep a safe distance
away from where you are working. Any-
body who enters the area must wear
personal protection equipment. Pieces of
the workpiece or broken plug-in tools may be
catapulted into the air and cause injuries even
outside the immediate vicinity of where you
are working.
j) Hold the tool only by the insulated hand-
les when carrying out work during which
the plug-in tool could strike concealed
power cables or its own mains lead. Con-
tact with a live cable will also make the metal
parts of the tool live and will cause an electric
shock.
k) Keep the power cable away from rotating
plug-in tools. If you lose control of the ma-
chine, the mains lead may be cut or caught
and your hand or arm might be pulled into the
rotating plug-in tool.
l) Never put the electric tool down until
the plug-in tool has reached a complete
standstill. The rotating plug-in tool may
come into contact with the surface on which
you place it which could result in you losing
control of the electric tool.
m) Never leave the electric tool running
whilst you are carrying it. Your clothing can
come into contact with the rotating plug-in
tool and the plug-in tool could thus bore into
your body.
n) Clean the ventilation slots on your elec-
tric tool at regular intervals. The motor
fan draws dust into the housing and a heavy
accumulation of metal dust can pose electric
risks.
o) Never use the electric tool in the vicinity
of infl ammable materials. Sparks may igni-
te these materials.
p) Do not use any plug-in tools which requi-
re liquid coolant. Use of water or other liquid
coolants could result in electric shocks.

Other safety information for all applications
Recoil is the sudden reaction as a result of a
jammed or blocked rotating plug-in-tool, such as
a grinding wheel, grinding disks, wire brushes etc.
Jamming or blocking leads to an abrupt stop of
the rotating plug-in-tool. This causes acceleration
of any uncontrolled electric tools rotating in the
opposite direction to the plug-in-tool at the point
of blockage.
If for example a grinding wheel gets jammed or
blocked by the workpiece, the edge of the grin-
ding wheel could get stuck and the grinding wheel
could break free or recoil, if it should come into
contact with the workpiece. The grinding wheel
moves toward or away from the operator, depen-
ding upon the direction of rotation of the disk at
the point of blockage. Grinding wheels could also
be broken if this occurs.
Recoil is the result of incorrect or wrong use of
the electric tool. It can be prevented by suitable
precautions, as described below.
a) Hold the electric tool securely and move
your body and your arms into a position
in which you can absorb the force crea-
ted by the recoil. Always use the additi-
onal handle (if there is one) to give you
the maximum possible control over recoil
forces or reaction moments whilst the
tool is operating at full speed. The opera-
tor can manage the recoil and reaction forces
by taking suitable precautions.
b) Never move your hand into the vicinity of
rotating plug-in tools. The plug-in tool may
catch your hand if it suff ers recoil.
c) Keep your body out the area into which
the electric tool will be moved if it suff ers
recoil. Recoil will throw the electric tool into
the direction opposite to the grinding/sanding
wheel at the point at which it is blocked.
d) Work with particular care around corners,
sharp edges, etc. Ensure that the plug-in
tool does not bounce off or jam in the
workpiece. At corners, sharp edges or if it
bounces, the rotating plug-in tool will tend to
jam. This will result in loss of control or recoil.
e) Do not use chain saw blades or toothed
saw blades. These plug-in tools often cause
recoil or loss of control of the electric tool.
