different applications. Dust and
respirator masks must filter the dust
which is generated by the power tool for
the particular application. If you are
exposed to loud noise for a prolonged
period, you may suffer hearing loss.
 Ensure that other persons are situated
at a safe distance from the work area.
Anyone who enters the work area must
wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of the workpiece or broken
insertion tools may fly off and cause
injuries even outside the direct working
area.
 If the insertion tool is at risk of coming
into contact with concealed power
cables or the power cord itself, hold the
power tool by the insulated grip
surfaces only.
Contact with a live cable may also
cause metal parts of the appliance to
become live and result in an electric
shock.
 Keep the power cord away from
rotating insertion tools.
If you lose control of the appliance, the
power cord could be severed or
become caught and your hand or arm
may strike the rotating insertion tool.
 Never put down the electric power tool
until the insertion tool has come to
a standstill.
The rotating insertion tool may come
into contact with the support surface,
possibly resulting in you losing control
of the electric power tool.
 Never leave the electric power tool
running while you are carrying it.
Your clothing may become caught by
accidental contact with the rotating
insertion tool which may then drill into
your body.
 Regularly clean the ventilation slots
on your electric power tool.
The motor fan draws dust into the
housing; a large build-up of metal dust
may cause electrical hazards.
 Never use the electric power tool
near combustible materials.
Sparks may ignite these materials.
 Never use insertion tools which require
liquid coolants.
The use of water or other liquid
coolants may result in electric shock.
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a
pinched or snagged rotating wheel,
backing pad, brush or any other
accessory.
Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling
of the rotating accessory which in turn
causes the uncontrolled power tool to be
forced in the direction opposite of the
accessory's rotation at the point of the
binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is
snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the
edge of the wheel that is entering into the
pinch point can dig into the surface of the
material causing the wheel to climb out or
kick out. The wheel may either jump
toward or away from the operator,
depending on direction of the wheel's
movement at the point of pinching.
Abrasive wheels may also break under
these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse
and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below.
 Maintain a firm grip on the power tool
and position your body and arm to
allow you to resist kickback forces.
Always use auxiliary handle, if
provided, for maximum control over
kickback or torque reaction during
start-up.
