tion, is moving away from your body, the possible kick-

back may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool

directly at you.

u When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for

any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the

power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a com-

plete 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 ac-

tion to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.

u Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece.

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.

u Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minim-

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.

u Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into ex-

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 Sanding operations

u Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper.

Follow manufacturers recommendations, when select-

ing sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending bey-

ond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and

may cause snagging, tearing of the disc, or kickback.

Safety Warnings specific for Wire Brushing operations

u Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush

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.

u If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brush-

ing, do not allow any interference of the wire wheel or

brush with the guard. Wire wheel or brush may expand

in diameter due to work load and centrifugal forces.

Additional safety information

Wear safety goggles.

u Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are

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.

u Do not touch grinding and cutting discs until they have

cooled down. The discs can become very hot while work-

ing.

u Release the On/Off switch and set it to the off position

when the power supply is interrupted, e. g., in case of

a power failure or when the mains plug is pulled. This

prevents uncontrolled restarting.

u Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with

clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by

hand.
