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.
