[. . . ] Before reading, unfold both pages containing illustrations and familiarise yourself with all functions of the device. General safety advice for electrical power tools Careful handling and use of electrical power tools . Page Further special safety advice for disc-cutting . Page Special safety advice for abrading using sandpaper . [. . . ] Overloading the cutting disc increases the load and the tendency of the disc to twist or snag in the cut, making kickback or disc breakage more likely. B) Avoid the area in front of or behind the rotating cutting disc. If the cutting disc is moving away from you at the point of constraint in the workpiece, then, in the event of a kickback, the electrical power tool and the rotating disc may be thrown towards you. C) If the cutting disc jams or you stop work for a while, switch the device off and hold it until the disc comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to pull the still rotating cutting disc out of the cut as this could cause kickback. Allow the cutting disc to reach full speed before carefully continuing with the cut. Otherwise the disc could snag, jump out of the workpiece or cause a kickback. General safety advice for electrical power tools e) Support boards or workpieces whilst cutting to reduce the risk of kickback caused by a jammed cutting disc. Large workpieces may bend under their own weight. 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 cutting into. The cutting disc plunged into the surface could cut through gas or water pipes, electricity cables or other objects and cause kickback. The diameters of disc brushes and cup brushes can increase due to contact pressure and centripetal forces. Do not operate the device if the mains lead or mains plug is damaged. Do not touch the mains lead if it becomes damaged or cut through while you are using the device. Pull the plug out of the mains socket immediately and have the device repaired by a suitably qualified person or at your service centre.
