If rotary files, high-speed milling tools or carbide
milling tools get caught, the tool insert may jump
out of the groove and cause loss of control of the
electric tool.
Additional safety instructions for grinding and
cut-off grinding
Special safety instructions for grinding and cut-off
grinding:
a)
Only use the grinding bodies approved for
your electric tool and only for the recommend-
ed uses. Example: Never grind on the side
surfaces of a cutting wheel. Cutting wheels
are designed to remove material with the edge of
the disc. Lateral forces on this grinding body can
break it.
b)
For tapered and straight threaded grinding
pencils, use only undamaged work arbors of
the correct size and length, without undercut-
ting at the shoulder. Suitable work arbors pre-
vent the possibility of breakage.
c)
Avoid blocking the cutting wheel or applying
too much pressure. Do not make excessively
deep cuts. Overloading the cutting wheel increas-
es its stress and susceptibility to tilting or blocking
and therefore the possibility of kick-back or break-
ing of the grinding wheel.
d)
Avoid the area in front of and behind the rotat-
ing cutting wheel with your hand. If you move the
cutting wheel in the workpiece away from your hand,
in the event of a kick-back the electric tool with the
spinning wheel can be thrown directly towards you.
e)
If the cutting wheel jams or you interrupt your
work, switch the device off and hold it still in
the material until the disc has come to a stand-
still. Never try to pull the cutting wheel out
of the cut while it is still running, otherwise
kick-back may occur. Determine and remedy the
cause of the jamming.
Do not switch the electric tool on again while it
f)
is in the workpiece. Allow the cutting wheel to
reach its full speed first before carefully con-
tinuing the cut. Otherwise the disc can get stuck,
jump out of the workpiece or cause kick-back.
g)
Support plates or large workpieces to reduce
the risk of kick-back caused by a jammed cut-
ting wheel. Large workpieces tend to sag under
their own weight. The workpiece must be support-
ed on both sides of the disc, that is both close to
the separating cut and at the edge.
h)
Apply particular caution with "plunge cuts" in
existing walls or other areas that are not vis-
ible. The plunging cutting wheel can cause kick-
back when cutting into gas or water pipes, electri-
cal lines or other objects.
Additional safety instructions for working with
wire brushes
Special safety instructions for working with wire
brushes:
a)
Note that the wire brush loses pieces of wire
even during normal use. Do not overtax the
wires by applying too much contact pressure.
Pieces of wire that fly off can easily penetrate thin
clothing and/or the skin.
b)
Run brushes at working speed for at least one
minute before use. Make sure that no other
person is in front of or in line with the brush
during this time. During the running-in period,
loose pieces of wire may fly away.
Point the rotating wire brush away from you.
c)
When working with these brushes, small particles
and tiny pieces of wire can fly away at high speed
and penetrate the skin.
Safe work
• Keep the work area orderly. Disorder in the work
area can lead to accidents.
• Take environmental influences into account! Do
not expose power tools to rain. Do not use power
tools in a damp or wet environment. Make sure that
the work area is well-illuminated. Do not use power
tools where there is a risk of fire or explosion.
• Protect yourself from electric shock! Avoid physi-
cal contact with earthed parts (e. g. pipes, radiators,
electric ranges, cooling units).
• Keep other persons away Do not allow other per-
sons, especially children, to touch the power tool or
the cable. Keep them away from your work area.
• Securely store unused electric tools! Unused
electric tools should be stored in a dry, elevated or
closed location out of the reach of children.
• Do not overload your electric tool! They work bet-
ter and more safely in the specified output range.
• Use the correct electric tool! Do not use
low-output machines for heavy work. Do not use
the power tool for purposes for which it is not in-
tended. For example, do not use handheld cir-
cular saws for the cutting of branches or logs.
