will propel the tool in the direction opposite to the
wheel's movement at the point of snagging.
• Use special care when working corners, sharp
edges, etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the
accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a
tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause
loss of control or kickback.
• Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or
toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control over the power tool.
Additional safety instructions for grinding and
cutting off operations
• Always use guard designed for the type of wheel
you are using. The guard must be securely
attached to the power tool and positioned for
maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is
exposed towards the operator. The guard helps to
protect operator from broken wheel fragments and
accidental contact with wheel.
• Use only wheel types that are recommended for
your power tool and the specific guard designed
for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power
tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded
and are unsafe.
• Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with the side
of the cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are
intended for peripheral grinding; side forces applied to
these wheels may cause them to shatter.
• Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of
correct size and shape for your selected wheel.
Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing
the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off
wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges.
• Do not use worn down wheels from larger power
tools. Wheels intended for larger power tools are not
suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may
burst.
Additional safety warnings specific for abrasive
cutting off operations
• Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive
depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the
loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the
wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or
wheel breakage.
• Do not position your body in line with and behind
the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of
operation, is moving away from your body, the
possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel and
the power tool directly at you.
• 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 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 binding.
• Do not restart the cutting operation in the
workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and
carefully reenter 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
minimize 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 existing 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
• When sanding, do not use excessively oversized
sanding disc paper. Follow
recommendations, when selecting sanding paper.
Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sanding
pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause
snagging, tearing of the disc, or kickback.
Additional warnings
Obligatory use of safety goggles!
• Do not use a tool with a damaged supply cord.
Replace it immediately with a new one. Damaged
supply cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• If supply cord gets damaged during work,
immediately disconnect the plug from power
supply.
• Connect the power tool to power socket only when
the switch is in the OFF position.
• When working outside, power socket must be
protected by a fault interrupting device FID.
• In case of power failure, immediately disconnect
the plug from power socket and release the trigger
switch to move into the OFF position. This way you
will prevent uncontrolled and sudden restart of the
tool.
• Use the corresponding detecting devices for
searching hidden lines. A contact with an electric
line can cause a fire or an electric shock. Damages to
gas lines can cause an explosion, and an intrusion
into water supply network can cause material damage
or an electric shock.
• Use only extension cable with minimum wire
cross-section 1mm
2 . The cable reel must be
completely unwound.
• Supply cord and extension cable must not be
twisted during work. You can trip over the cables or
damage the cable by the power tool.
• Use dust extractor when working on stone or
concrete. The characteristics of dust extractor
must correspond to the requirements for the
extraction of stone dust. The use of dust extraction
devices reduces damage to health caused by dust.
• Fix the workpiece. The workpiece will be secured
better by clamps or a vice than if held by hand.
• Do not work with materials containing asbestos.
Asbestos causes cancer.
• Workplace must always be clean. Mixtures of
materials are especially dangerous. Dust of light
metals is inflammable and can explode.
