Additional safety warnings specific for 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 the wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool and
hold it 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
re-enter 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.
▶ Do not attempt to do curved cutting. 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, which
can lead to serious injury.
Safety warnings specific for sanding operations:
▶ Use proper sized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturers recommendations, when selecting
sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending too far beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration
hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
Safety warnings specific for wire brushing operations:
▶ 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.
▶ If the use of a guard is specified for wire brushing, 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 instructions
Personal safety
▶ Use the product and accessories only when they are in perfect working order.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the product or accessories in any way.
▶ Do not touch rotating parts – risk of injury!
▶ Wear protective gloves when changing the accessory tool. Touching the accessory tool can result in
cuts and burns.
▶ Dust produced by grinding, sanding, cutting and drilling can contain dangerous chemicals. Some
examples are: lead or lead-based paints; brick, concrete and other masonry products, natural stone
and other products containing silicates; certain types of wood, such as oak, beech and chemically
treated wood; asbestos or materials that contain asbestos. Determine the exposure of the operator and
bystanders by means of the hazard classification of the materials to be worked. Implement the necessary
measures to restrict exposure to a safe level, for example by the use of a dust collection system or by
the wearing of suitable respiratory protection. The general measures for reducing exposure include:
▶ working in an area that is well ventilated,
▶ avoidance of prolonged contact with dust,
▶ directing dust away from the face and body,
▶ wearing protective clothing and washing exposed areas of the skin with water and soap.
▶ Take frequent breaks and do physical exercises to improve the blood circulation in your fingers. High
vibration during long periods of work can lead to disorders of the blood vessels and nervous system in
the fingers, hands and wrists.
Electrical safety
▶ Before beginning work, check the working area for concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes.
External metal parts of the product could give you an electric shock or cause an explosion if you
accidentally damage an electric cable or a gas or water pipe.
