Do not position your hand in line with and behind the
u
rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of opera-
tion, is moving away from your hand, the possible kick-
back may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool
directly at you.
When wheel is pinched, snagged or when interrupting
u
a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool and
hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes
to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-
off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion
otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and take
corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel pinching
or snagging.
Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece.
u
Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter
the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the
power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minim-
u
ize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large
workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports
must be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut
and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the
wheel.
Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut" into ex-
u
isting walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel
may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects
that can cause kickback.
Safety warnings specific for wire brushing operations
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush
u
even during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the
wires by applying excessive load to the brush. The wire
bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
Allow brushes to run at operating speed for at least
u
one minute before using them. During this time no one
is to stand in front or in line with the brush. Loose
bristles or wires will be discharged during the run-in time.
Direct the discharge of the spinning wire brush away
u
from you. Small particles and tiny wire fragments may be
discharged at high velocity during the use of these
brushes and may become imbedded in your skin.
Additional safety information
Do not touch grinding discs until they have cooled
u
down. The discs can become very hot while working.
Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are
u
hidden in the work area or call the local utility com-
pany for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead
to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to
explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property dam-
age or may cause an electric shock.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
u
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by
hand.
This power tool is not suitable for bench-mounted use.
u
It must not be clamped into a vice or fastened to a work-
bench, for example.
