j) Hold the power tool only by its insulated
gripping surfaces when you are performing
work during which the power tool may hit
hidden power lines or its own power cord.
Contact with a live cable may also cause metal
parts of the tool to become live and could result
in an electric shock.
k) Never put the power tool down until the
accessory tool has come to a complete stand-
still. The rotating accessory tool could come
into contact with the surface and cause you to
lose control of the power tool.
l) Do not leave the power tool running whilst
carrying it. Accidental contact between your
clothing and the rotating accessory tool could
lead to an injury (for example, a cut or puncture
wound).
m) Clean the ventilation slits of your power tool
regularly. The motor fan draws dust into the
housing, and a heavy accumulation of metal
dust can cause electrical hazards.
n) Do not use the power tool in the vicinity of
flammable materials. Sparks can ignite these
materials.
o) Do not use any accessory tools that require a
liquid coolant. The use of water or other liquid
coolants may lead to an electric shock.
Kickback and corresponding safety
instructions
A Kickback is a sudden reaction caused when a
rotating accessory tool, e.g. grinding disc, grinding
plate, etc., catches or jams. Catching or jamming
leads to an abrupt stop of the rotating accessory
tool. If this happens, an uncontrolled power tool
turns rapidly against the direction of rotation of the
accessory tool caught in the blockage.
If, for example, a grinding disc catches or jams in a
workpiece, the edge of the grinding disc projecting
into the workpiece can get caught and break off
the grinding disc or cause a kickback. The grinding
disc can then fly in the direction of the operator or
away from him, depending on the direction of
rotation of the disc at the blockage. This can also
cause the grinding discs to break.

Kickback is caused by incorrect use of the power
tool and/or incorrect working conditions. This can
be avoided by taking proper precautions as
described below.
a) Hold the power tool firmly in both hands and
position your body and arms so they can
absorb the force of the kickback. Always use
the additional handle, if available, so that
you have the maximum possible control over
the kickback force or reaction forces at full
speed. By taking adequate precautions, the
operator can stay in control of the a kickback
and reaction forces.
b) Keep your hands clear of a rotating accessory
tool at all times. The accessory tool could move
over your hand in the event of kickback.
c) Avoid having any part of your body in the
area in which the power tool is likely to move
in the event of a kickback. The kickback will
force the electrical tool in the opposite direction
to the direction of rotation of the grinding disc
at the blockage.
d) Take special care when working near corners,
sharp edges, etc. Do not allow the accessory
tool to bang against the workpiece or to jam.
The rotating accessory tool is more likely to jam
in corners or sharp edges or if it rebounds off
them. This can cause a loss of control or a kick-
back.
e) Do not use chainsaw blades for cutting wood,
or segmented diamond cutting discs with a
segment pitch greater than 10 mm or any
toothed saw blade. These kinds of accessories
often cause a kickback or loss of control.
Special safety instructions for
grinding and abrasive cutting
a) Use only the grinding accessories approved
for your power tool and the appropriate blade
guard for these grinding tools. Grinding tools
that are not designed for the power tool cannot
be sufficiently shielded and are unsafe.
