Do not carry the electric tool while it is running. Clothes may become caught
in the spinning attachment and the attachment may cause severe injury.
Periodically clean the ventilation slots of the electric tool. The cooling
ventilator draws dust into the housing. An accumulation of metallic dust may
lead to dangerous electrical conditions.
Do not use the tool close to combustible materials. Flying sparks may ignite
such materials.
Do not use attachments which require liquid coolants. Use of water or other
liquid coolants can cause an electric shock.
Kickback
Kickback is the sudden reaction of a wedged or locked spinning attachment
such as a grinding or sanding disc or a
wire brush etc. This causes the spinning attachment to come to a sudden stop,
which will force the electric tool against the rotating direction of the
attachment.
If, for instance, a cutting disc becomes locked or jammed in the workpiece,
the edge of the disc may fracture inside the workpiece and cause a violent
kickback. The disc will them move away from or towards the operator,
depending on the direction of rotation on the locking point. This may also
shatter the disc.
Kickback is caused by wrong or inappropriate use of the tool and can be
avoided by following the safety advice below.
Hold the electric tool tightly with both hands and assume a position, in which
you can compensate a kickback. If present, use the accessory handle to e able
to control kickback and countermovement of the running motor. With the
necessary precautions the operator can control all forces of kickback and
countermovement.
Keep your hand away from the spinning attachment. A kickback can throw the
attachment onto your hand.
Keep your body out of the area into which the tool is thrown by a kickback.
The tool is thrown into the direction reverse to the direction of the disc at the
locking point.
Use extreme care when working around edges or sharp corners. Make sure
the attachment cannot become locked into or bounce back from the
workpiece. Rotating discs tend to lock into or bounce back from edges and
corners. This may cause kickback or loss of control.
Do not uses toothed saw blades or any other saw attachment. These tend to
cause kickback or loss of control.
