e) Support panels or any oversized workpiece
to minimize the risk of cutting disc pinching
and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under
their own weight. Supports must be placed under
the workpiece near the line of the cut and near the
edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
f) Use extra caution when making a "pocket
cut" into existing walls or other blind areas. The
protruding cutting disc may cause kickback when
cutting gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or other
objects.

Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding
Operations:
a) Do not use excessively large sanding disc
paper. Follow the manufacturers
recommendations when selecting sandpaper.
Larger sandpaper that extends beyond the sanding
pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause
snagging or kickback, or may cause the disc to tear
off.
4.6
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire
Brushing Operations:
a) 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. Wire bristles can easily
penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b) If a guard is recommended for wire brushing,
do not allow the wire wheel or brush to come
into contact with the guard. The wire wheel or
brush may expand in diameter due to the work load
and centrifugal forces.

Additional Safety Instructions:
WARNING – Always wear protective
goggles.
Do not touch the power tool before it has
cooled down. After stopping work, the tool may still
be hot.
Never place your hand and your body near a
rotating accessory. The accessory can cause
serious injuries.
Never hold the workpiece to be machined in
your hands or across your leg while cutting.
Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is
important to support the workpiece properly to
minimise body exposure, jamming of the accessory
or loss of control.
Use elastic cushioning layers if they have been
supplied with the sanding media and if required.
Observe the specifications of the tool or accessory
manufacturer! Protect discs from grease or impact!
Grinding wheels must be stored and handled with
care in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
Never use cut-off wheels for roughing work! Do not
apply pressure to the side of cut-off wheels.
The workpiece must lay flat and be secured against
slipping, e.g. using clamps. Large workpieces must
be sufficiently supported.
Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools must not be
used.
Avoid damage to gas or water pipes, electrical
cables and load-bearing walls (static).
Remove the battery pack from the machine before
making any adjustments, changing tools,
maintaining or cleaning.
Make sure that the tool is switched off before fitting
the battery pack.
Hold the machine when removing and inserting the
battery pack so that the on/off switch cannot be
unintentionally pressed.
If the machine is defective, remove the battery pack
from the machine.
A damaged or cracked safety guard must be
replaced. Never operate a machine with a defective
safety guard.
Secure small workpieces, for example by clamping
them in a vice.
When working in dusty conditions, ensure that
ventilation openings are not blocked. If it becomes
necessary to remove dust, first remove the battery
pack (use non-metallic objects) and avoid
damaging internal components.
Reducing dust exposure:
WARNING - Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead-based paints,
- Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
- Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well-
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
This also applies to dust from other materials such
as some timber types (like oak or beech dust),
metals, asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g.
allergic reactions, respiratory diseases. Do not let
dust enter the body.
Observe the relevant guidelines and national
regulations for your material, staff, application and
place of application (e.g. occupational health and
safety regulations, disposal).
Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use suitable accessories for special work. In this
way, fewer particles enter the environment in an
uncontrolled manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream towards yourself or nearby
persons or towards dust deposits,
- use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers,
