• Never put down the power tool before it has come

to a complete stop.

• A rotating tool may come into contact with the

surface on which it is resting and you may lose

control of the tool.

• Do not move the power tool while in motion.

Accidental contact of the tool with clothing may

cause it to be pulled in and the tool may be drawn to

the operator's body.

• Do not use the power tool near flammable materials.

Sparks can ignite these materials.

• The ventilation openings of the power tool should

be cleaned regularly. Dust entering the machine can

block the ventilation space, leading to engine

overheating.

• Do not use the tool with a damaged cable. A

damaged cable increases the risk of electric shock.

• Always use a dust extraction system. Inhalation of

dust is harmful to health.

Recoil and associated warnings

• Recoil is the sudden reaction when a rotating

sanding disc or other accessories become jammed

or chipped. Jamming or chipping causes the rotating

component to stop suddenly, which in turn leads to

uncontrolled recoil of the power tool at the point of

jamming in the direction opposite to the direction of

rotation of the component.

• If the sanding disc becomes chipped or jammed in

the workpiece, friction against the surface of the

material and its leading edge can push the sanding

disc upwards or cause it to recoil. The abrasive disc

may spring back towards the operator or in the

opposite direction depending on the direction of

rotation at the jamming point. Abrasive discs can

also break under these conditions.

• Recoil is the result of improper use of the power tool

and/or incorrect operating procedures

or conditions and can be avoided by taking the

appropriate precautions as outlined below:

• The power tool should be gripped firmly and the

body and arms should be placed in a position to

soften the recoil.

• Always use the auxiliary handle, if provided, to ensure

maximum control of the machine during start-up

and operation. The operator can control the torque

response or recoil force if he takes appropriate

precautions.

• Never place your hands near rotating parts. The tool

may injure the hand due to recoil.

• Do not position your body in an area where the

power tool may move due to recoil. The recoil will

eject the tool in the direction opposite to the

direction of rotation of the component.

• Take special care when working in corners, on sharp

edges, etc. Avoid bouncing and jamming of parts.

Corners, sharp edges tend to jam rotating parts and

cause loss of tool control or recoil.

Safety warnings specific to grinding operations:

• Do not use an oversized abrasive disc. When

choosing sandpaper, follow the manufacturers'

recommendations. A larger abrasive disc protruding

beyond the sanding pad poses a risk of injury and

may cause the disc to snag, tear or recoil.

• Hold the power tool by the insulated surfaces of the

handle as it may come into contact with the cable.

Cutting a live wire can cause metal parts of the power

tool to be live as well, which can result in an electric

shock to the operator.
