en ENGLISH I) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control. m) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body. n) Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards. o) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials. p) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock. 4.2 Kickback and related warnings Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged sanding wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory's rotation at the point of the binding. For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The abrasive wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of the disc's movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions. Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided if suitable precautionary measures are taken as described below. a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position 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 operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken. b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand. c) Do not position your body in the area where the power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the grinding wheel's movement at the point of snagging. d) 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 accessory and cause loss of control or kickback. 12 e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control. 4.3 Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations: a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturers recommendations 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 kickback. 4.4 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 shorten the loose attachment strings. Loose and spinning attachment strings can entangle your fingers or snag on the workpiece. 4.5 Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing Operations: a) 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 penetrate light clothing and/or skin. b) 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. 4.6 Additional Safety Instructions: WARNING - Always wear protective goggles. Use elastic cushioning layers if they have been supplied with the grinding media and if required. Observe the specifications of the tool or accessory manufacturer! Accessories must be stored and handled with care in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure that accessories are installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The tool continues running after the machine has been switched off. When sanding and working with the lambskin polishing disc with cord drive always work with the safety guard installed. Do not use separate reducing bushings or adapters to adapt tools with a large hole. The workpiece must lay flat and be secured against slipping, e.g. using clamps. Large workpieces must be sufficiently supported. If accessories with threaded inserts are used, the end of the spindle may not touch the base of the hole on the sanding tool. Make sure that the thread in the accessory is long enough to accommodate the full length of the spindle. The thread in the accessory must match the thread on the spindle.

that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the
surface of the material causing the wheel to climb
out or kick out. The abrasive wheel may either jump
toward or away from the operator, depending on
