may bind, walk up or kickback if the power
tool is restarted in the workpiece.
– Support panels or any oversized work
piece to minimize the risk of wheel pinch
ing and kickback. Large workpieces tend to
sag under their own weight. Supports must
be placed under the workpiece near the
line of cut and near the edge of the work
piece on both sides of the wheel.
– Use extra caution when making a “pocket
cut” into existing walls or other blind
areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or
water pipes, electrical wiring or objects
that can cause kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing
Operations
– Note that the wire brushes lose wire bris
tles during normal use. Do not overload
the wire by applying too much pressure.
Flying wire pieces can easily penetrate thin
clothing and/or skin.
– If the use of a guard is recommended for
wire brushing, do not allow any interfer
ence of the wire wheel or brush with the
guard. Wire wheel or brush may expand in
diameter due to work load and centrifugal
forces.
2.3 Further safety warnings
– Do not use the power tool in the rain or in
damp surroundings. Moisture in the power
tool may cause a short circuit and burning.
– Only guide the power tool into the material
when it is switched on (running).
– For safety reasons, the workpiece must be
clamped in a vice or another type of clamp
ing device. Clamping a workpiece frees up
both your hands for operating the power
tool.
– Never perform work while standing on lad
ders.
– Do not carry out cutting work above metal
lic objects, nails, screws or bolts.
– Use appropriate detection devices to look
for any hidden supply lines or consult your
local utility company. If the insertion tool
makes contact with live cables, it can result
in fire and electric shock. Damage to a gas
pipe can lead to an explosion. Penetration
of a water pipe can result in damage to
property.
– Harmful/toxic dust may be produced dur
ing your work (e.g. paint containing lead,
certain types of wood and metal). Only
qualified persons are permitted to handle
materials containing asbestos. Aontact
with or inhalation of this dust may pose a
risk for the operating personnel or persons
in the vicinity. Comply with the safety regu
lations that apply in your country.
Wear a P2 respiratory mask to protect
your health.
– After machining mineral materials (e.g.
gypsum): Blow out the inside of the power
tool through the vents and the control ele
ment using dry, oil-free compressed air.
Otherwise, dust deposits may build up in
side the power tool's housing and on the
on/off switch and harden when exposed to
humidity. This may impair the switching
mechanism and cause the power tool to
overheat.
– After machining metal: Blow out the inside
of the power tool through the vents using
dry, oil-free compressed air. Otherwise,
conductive dust deposits may build up in
side the power tool. This can cause a short-
circuit.
– Do not use power supply units or third-
party battery packs to operate cordless
power tools. Do not use third-party charg
ers to charge the battery packs. The use of
accessories not expressly authorised by the
manufacturer can result in electric shocks
and/or serious accidents.
2.4 Safety warnings for sanding tools
– Sanding tools are fragile, which is why you
must be extremely careful when handling
them. The use of damaged, incorrectly
clamped or inserted sanding tools is dan
gerous and can cause serious injuries.
– Ensure that the sanding tools are not ex
posed to any mechanical damage or harm
ful environmental conditions during stor
age.
– Handle and transport sanding tools with
care.
– Pay attention to the information on the la
bel or the sanding tool itself, as well as us
age restrictions, safety warnings or other
instructions. If any points are unclear when
choosing sanding tools, the user must con
tact the manufacturer for information be
fore using the tool.
– Sanding tools must be fitted in accordance
with Section
8.2 .
– Only experienced staff are permitted to fit
sanding tools.
