smaller electric tools and can break.

Other special safety instructions for

cutting grinding

a) Avoid blocking the cutting disc

or pressing down too hard. Do

not make any excessively deep cuts.

Overloading the cutting disc increases

wear and its tendency to tilt or block

and, with that, to kickback or break the

grinder.

b) Avoid the area in front of and

behind the rotating cutting disc.

When you move the cutting disc by

itself in the workpiece, in the event that

the electric tool kicks back with the ro-

tating disc, it can spin directly towards

you.

c) If the cutting disc jams, or you

interrupt your work, switch the

device off and hold it until the

disc has come to a full stop.

Never try to pull the cutting disc out of

the cut while it is still running, because

it can kick back. Identify and correct

the cause of the jamming.

d) Do not switch the electric tool

on again as long as it is in the

workpiece. Allow the cutting disc

to first reach its full rotational speed

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 sup-

ported 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. Flying wire pieces can very eas-

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.
