d) Do not switch the electric tool
on again as long as it is in the
workpiece. Allow the cutting disc
before you carefully resume with the
cutting. Otherwise, the disc may catch,
spring away from the workpiece or
cause a kickback.
e) Support plates or workpieces
to reduce the risk of kickback
from a jammed cutting disc. Large
workpieces may bend under their own
weight. The workpiece must be support
-
ed on both sides of the disc, near the
cutting disc as well as also at the edge.
f) Be particularly careful for pocket
cuts in existing walls or other
areas where you cannot see
what is there. The cutting disc may
cause a kickback when it cuts into gas
or water lines, electrical lines or other
hidden objects.
Additional safety instructions for
sanding
Special safety instructions for sanding:
• Do not use overly large sandpa-
per sheets; follow the manufac-
turer‘s information for sandpa-
per sizes. Sandpaper sheets which
extend beyond the sanding plate can
cause injuries and can block, tear the
sandpaper, or cause kickback.
Additional safety instructions for
working with wire brushes
Special safety instructions for working with
wire brushes:
• Be aware that the wire brushes
also lose wire pieces during
typical use. Do not overload
the wires by pressing down too
hard. -
ily penetrate thin clothing and/or your
skin.
• If a protective hood is recom-
mended, do not allow the wire
brushes and the protective hood
to touch each other. The diameter of
plate and cup brushes can enlarge if too
much pressure and centrifugal force is
exerted.
Charging the battery
Do not expose the battery to
extreme conditions such as
heat or impact. Risk of injury
from escaping electrolytic so-
lution! After eye/skin contact,
rinse the affected areas with
water or a neutraliser and
consult a doctor.
Charge the battery in a dry room
only. Prior to attaching the charger,
check that the battery‘s outer sur-
face is clean and dry. There is a
risk of injury due to electric shock.
Only use the original charger from
the package to charge the battery.
Mind not to charge the appliance
for more than 1 hours at a time. If
you do, the battery and the appli-
ance may be damaged and longer
charging times would be a waste
of energy. Excessive charging will
void the warranty.
