Further safety notes for all applications & kickback
A kickback is the sudden reaction caused by rotating inser-
tion tools such as a grinding disk, grinding plate, wire brush,
etc. which has got caught or which blocks. Getting caught or
blocking results in the immediate stop of the rotating insertion
tool. This accelerates the uncontrolled power tool against the
rotary direction of the insertion tool.
lf for example a grinding disk gets caught or blocks in the
work piece, the edge of the grinding disk which penetrates
the work piece may get caught, the grinding disk will make
a sudden movement or cause a kickback. As a result, the
grinding disk moves towards the operator or away from the
operator, depending on the rotary direction of the disk when
it blocks. This may also cause the fracture of grinding disks.
Kickbacks are the result of the improper or incorrect use of
power tools.
Kickbacks can be avoided when observing the following
precautionary measures.
a)
Hold the power tool firmly in your hands and bring
your body and arms in a position which allows you to
adequately react to kickback forces. Always use the
additional handle, if available. This ensures you the
utmost control of kickback forces or reaction torques
when starting your power tool. When taking appropri-
ate precautions, the operator is in the position to control
kickback and reaction forces.
b)
Keep your hands away from rotating insertion tools.
The insertion tool may move over your hand in the event
of a kickback.
c)
Keep your body away from the area where the power
tool may move in the event of a kickback. Kickbacks
always move the power tool in opposite direction to
the movement of the grinding disk at the spot where it
blocks.
d)
Corners, sharp edges, etc. must be processed with
special care. Make sure that the insertion tool does not
bounce back from or get trapped on the work piece.
The rotating insertion tool tends to jam in corners, at
sharp edges or when it bounces back. This may cause
the loss of control or a kickback.
Safety notes regarding grinding with sandpaper
a)
Do not use oversized abrasive sheets; always ob-
serve the manufacturer's specifications for abra-
sive sheet dimensions.
Abrasive sheets protruding the grinding plate may
cause injury or result in the blocking or tearing apart of
the abrasive sheet or in kickbacks.
Additional safety notes
a)
Connect a vacuum cleaner to the supplied adapter
before starting your operations.
Attention! Keep away grinding dust from open Iire.
b)
Dust may be explosive.
c)
Always wear goggles and a dust mask when
grinding, in particular du ring overhead work and
when processing critical materials!
When grinding certain materials (e .g.lead paint, cer-
tain types of wood and metaI) harmful or noxious dust
may be generated. Touching or breathing in such dust
may imply risks for the operator or people in the vicinity.
Notes regarding vibration and noise emissions
Reduce noise emissions and vibrations to a minimum!
1.
Only use power tools which are free of defects.
2.
Maintain and clean the power tool on a regular basis.
3.
Adjust your way of working to the power tool.
4.
Do not overload your power tool.
5.
Have your power tool inspected, if necessary.
6.
Switch off the power tool when it is not in use.
Remaining risks
Even if you use this power tool in compliance with the regula-
tions, there are still remaining risks. The following risks may
occur due to the type and design of the power tool:
a)
Damage caused to your health resulting from hand/
arm vibrations if the power tool is used over a Ionger
period of time or if it is not properly used and main-
tained.
b)
Injury and damage to property caused by flying off in-
sertion tools which are unexpectedly expelled from the
power tool due to sudden damage, wear or incorrect
insertion.
c)
Burns and cuts if the insertion tools are touched directly
after use and/or with your bare hands.
Warning! This electric tool generates an electromagnetic
field during operation. This field can impair active or pas-
sive medical implants under certain conditions. In order to
prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we recommend
that persons with medical implants consult with their physi-
cian and the manufacturer of the medical implant prior to
operating the electric tool.
