General safety advice for electrical power tools

The workpiece must be supported to both sides of the cutting disc and particularly near the cutting disc and at the workpiece edge.

f)Be particularly careful when pocket cutting in existing walls or other areas where you cannot see what you are cut- ting into. The cutting disc plunged into the surface could cut through gas or water pipes, electricity cables or other objects and cause kickback.

Special safety advice for abrading using sandpaper

Do not use over-sized sanding sheets. Follow the manufacturer’s recommen- dations for sanding sheet size. Sanding sheets that project beyond the backing pad could cause injury in addition to jamming, tearing of the sheet or kickback.

Special safety advice for polishing

Do not use the polishing bonnet if it has any loose parts, in particular the fastening cords. Tuck the fastening cords away or trim them. Loose fastening cords rotat- ing with the attachment could catch your fingers or become trapped in the workpiece.

Special safety advice for working with wire brushes

a)Bear in mind that wire brushes lose pieces of wire during normal use. Do not overload the wires by applying too much pressure. Flying pieces of wire can very easily penetrate thin clothing and / or skin.

b)Use a guard, if recommended, but make sure that the wire brush does not come into contact with the guard. The diameters of disc brushes and cup brushes can increase due to contact pressure and centripetal forces.
