h) Wear your personal protective equip-
ment. Depending on the application,
use a full face mask, eyeshield or
protective goggles. If appropriate,
wear a dust mask, hearing protection,
protective gloves or a special apron
that protects you from small grinding
and material particles. The eyes should be
protected from flying foreign matter that can occur
during various applications. The dust mask or face
mask must be suitable for filtering out the dust
created during the application. If you are exposed
to a loud noise for a prolonged period, you may
suffer a loss of hearing.
i) Ensure that other persons stay a safe
distance away from your working
area. Everyone entering the working
area must wear personal protective
equipment. Broken pieces of the workpiece or
broken attachments can fly off and cause injuries
even outside the direct working area.
j) Hold the device only at the insulated
handles when carrying out work
where the attachment could contact
concealed electricity cables or the
mains lead of the electric tool. Contact
with a live cable can make metallic parts of the
device live and may lead to an electric shock.
k) Keep the mains lead away from rotat-
ing attachments. If you lose control over the
device, the mains lead may be severed or caught
up and may pull your hand or arm into the rotating
attachment.
l) Never put the electric tool down before
the attachment has come to a complete
standstill. The rotating attachment may make
contact with the surface on which it is placed and
could cause you to lose control of the electric tool.

Special safety instructions
m) Do not allow the electric tool to run
while you are carrying it. Your clothing
could come into contact with the rotating attach-
ment and cause the attachment to bore into your
body.
n) Clean the ventilation slots of your elec-
tric tool at regular intervals. The motor
fan draws dust into the housing, and a heavy accu-
mulation of metal dust may pose electric hazards.
o) Do not use the electrical tool in the
vicinity of flammable materials. Sparks
could cause these materials to ignite.
p) Do not use any attachments that
require liquid coolants. The use of water or
other liquid coolants can lead to an electric shock.
Recoil and corresponding safety
Recoil is the sudden reaction due to a rotating
attachment (e.g. grinding wheel, grinding disc,
wire brush, etc.) snagging or blocking, Snagging
or blocking results in a sudden stoppage of the
rotating attachment. This causes an uncontrolled
electric tool to accelerate in the opposite direction
to the direction of rotation of the attachment at the
blocking point.
If, for example, a grinding wheel snags or blocks
in the workpiece, that edge of the grinding wheel
entering the workpiece may snag and cause the
grinding wheel to break out or to cause a recoil.
The grinding wheel then moves towards or away
from the operator, depending on the direction of
rotation of the wheel at the blocking point. This
can also cause grinding wheels to break.
A recoil is the result of incorrect or improper use
of the electric tool. It can be avoided by taking
appropriate precautions as described below.
