h) Wear personal protective equipment. De-
pending on the application of the power tool,
you must wear a full face shield, eye protec-
tion or goggles. lf appropriate, you must wear
a dust mask, hearing protection, protective
gloves or a special apron which protects you
against small grinding chips and material
particles. Protect your eyes against foreign ob-
jects which fly off du ring different operations. The
purpose of dust masks and breathing equipment
is to filter the dust generated during the opera-
tion. Long-term exposure to high noise pollution
may cause hearing loss.
i) Make sure that other persons stay a safe dis-
tance away from your working area. Persons
accessing your working area must wear person-
al protective equipment. Fragments of the work
piece or broken insertion tools may fly off and
cause injury even outside the direct working area.
j) Always hold the tool by its insulated han-
dles when the insertion tool may come into
contact with hidden power lines or with the
power cord of the power tool. Contact with live
lines may energise metaI tool parts and cause
electric shock.
k) Keep the power cord away from rotating in-
sertion tools. lf you lose control of the power
tool, the power cord may be cut or trapped, and
your hand or arm may get into the path of the ro-
tating insertion tool.
l) Never put aside the power tool before the
complete halt of the insertion tool. Rotating
insertion tools may get in contact with the place
of deposit thus causing the loss of control of the
tool.
m) Switch of the power tool while you carry it
around. Your clothes may be trapped when un-
intentionally getting in contact with the rotating
insertion tool and the insertion tool may penetrate
your body.
n) The ventilation slots of your power tool must
be cleaned on a regular basis. The motor fan
sucks in dust, and the accumulation of metaI dust
may cause electrical risks.
o) Do not use the power tool in the vicinity of in-
flammable materials. Sparks may ignite these
materials.
p) Do not use insertion tools which require liq-
uid coolants. Using water or other liquid cool-
ants may cause electric shock.
Further safety notes for all applications - kick-
back and corresponding safety notes
A kickback is the sudden reaction caused by rotat-
ing insertion 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 im-
mediate 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 grind-
ing disk will make a sudden movement or cause a
kickback. As a result, the grinding disk moves to-
wards the operator or away from the operator, de-
pending 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 appropriate precau-
tions, the operator is in the position to control
kickback and reaction forces.
b) Keep your hands away from rotating inser-
tion 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 kick-
back. Kickbacks always move the power tool in
opposite direction to the movement of the grind-
ing 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 or get trapped on the
work piece. The rotating insertion tool tends to
jam in corners, at sharp edges or when it bounc-
es back. This may cause the loss of control or a
kickback.
e) Do not use chain rings or toothed saw blades.
These insertion tools frequently cause kickbacks
or the loss of control of your power tool.
Additional safety notes regarding grinding with
sandpaper- Special safety notes regarding grind-
ing with sandpaper
a) Do not use oversized abrasive sheets; always
observe the manufacturer's specifications for
abrasive 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.
