Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and posi- tion your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The opera- tor can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.

Never place your hand near the rotating acces- sory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.

Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kick- back will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of snag- ging.

Use special care when working corners, sharp edges, etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating acces- sory and cause loss of control or kickback.

Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create fre- quent kickback and loss of control over the power tool.

Safety warnings specific for sanding operations

Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturers recommenda- tions, when selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc, or kick- back.

Safety Warnings specific for Polishing operations

Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing bonnet or its attachment strings to spin freely. Tuck away or trim any loose attachment strings. Loose and spinning attachment strings can entangle your fingers or snag on the workpiece.

Safety warnings specific for wire brushing operations

Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the wires by applying excessive load to the brush. The wire bristles can easily pen- etrate light clothing and/or skin.

If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing, 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.

Make sure that the application tools are mounted in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. The mounted application tools must be able to rotate freely. Incorrectly mounted application tools can become loose during operation and be thrown from the machine.

When using application tools with a threaded insert, take care that the thread in the applica- tion tool is long enough to hold the spindle length of the power tool. The thread in the application tool must match the thread on the spindle. Incorrectly mounted application tools can loosen during operation and cause inju- ries.

Do not machine any material containing asbes- tos. Asbestos is cancerogenic.

Beware of any concealed electric cables, gas or water conduits; check the working area with a metal detector, for example, before com- mencing work.

Use a stationary extraction system, blow out ventilation slots frequently and connect a residual current device (RCD) on the line side. When working metal under extreme operat- ing conditions, it is possible for conductive dust to settle in the interior of the power tool. The protective insulation of the power tool can be impaired.
