properly mounted wheel that projects through the plane
of the guard lip cannot be adequately protected.
The guard must be securely attached to the power tool
u
and positioned for maximum safety, so the least
amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator.
The guard helps to protect operator from broken wheel
fragments, accidental contact with wheel and sparks that
could ignite clothing.
Wheels must be used only for recommended applica-
u
tions. For example: do not grind with the side of cut-
off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peri-
pheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may
cause them to shatter.
Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of cor-
u
rect size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper
wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the pos-
sibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may
be different from grinding wheel flanges.
Do not use worn down wheels from larger power
u
tools. Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suit-
able for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
Additional Safety Warnings specific for Abrasive Cutting
Off operations
Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive
u
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
u
rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of opera-
tion, is moving away from your body, the possible kick-
back may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool
directly at you.
When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for
u
any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the
power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a com-
plete 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 ac-
tion to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece.
u
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 minim-
u
ize 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 ex-
u
isting walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel
may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects
that can cause kickback.

Safety Warnings specific for Sanding operations
Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper.
u
Follow manufacturers recommendations, when select-
ing sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending bey-
ond 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
u
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 recommended for wire brush-
u
ing, 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 information
Wear safety goggles.
Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are
u
hidden in the work area or call the local utility com-
pany for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead
to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to
explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property dam-
age or may cause an electric shock.
Do not touch grinding and cutting discs until they have
u
cooled down. The discs can become very hot while work-
ing.
Release the On/Off switch and set it to the off position
u
when the power supply is interrupted, e. g., in case of
a power failure or when the mains plug is pulled. This
prevents uncontrolled restarting.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
u
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by
hand.
Products sold in GB only:
Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric
plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be
cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an au-
thorised customer service agent. The replacement plug
should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible
shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains
socket elsewhere.
