ding and material particles away from you.
Protect your eyes from fl ying foreign bodies
which may be created by a range of applica-
tions. Dust masks or respiration 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. Anybody who
enters the area must wear personal protec-
tion 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 handles
when carrying out work during which the
plug-in tool could strike concealed power
cables or its own mains lead. Contact 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 elec-
tric 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 electric 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 in-
fl ammable materials. Sparks may ignite these
materials.
p) Do not use any plug-in tools which require
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 created by the re-
coil. Always use the additional 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
operator can manage the recoil and reaction
forces by taking suitable precautions.
b) Never move your hand into the vicinity of rota-
ting 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.
