Page Special safety advice for abrading using sandpaper . [. . . ] If, for example, a grinding disc is pinched or snags in a workpiece, this can cause the edge of the grinding disc to penetrate the workpiece, become trapped there and either free itself or kickback. Always use abrasive consumables approved for use with your electrical power tool. Abrasive consumables not approved for use with your electrical power tool cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe. B) To ensure the highest level of operational safety, the disc guard cover must be attached to the electrical power tool and set in such a way that the smallest possible area of the abrasive consumable is exposed to A) Avoid snagging the cutting disc and do not use too much contact pressure. Do not attempt to make excessively deep cuts. 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. General safety advice for electrical power tools d) Do not switch on the device if the cutting disc is in the workpiece. 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. 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. 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. [. . . ] Do not allow any liquids to enter the device. Clean the device frequently; for best results do this immediately after you have finished using it. Use a dry cloth to clean the housing ­ under no circumstances use petrol, solvents or cleaning agents that attack plastic. a vacuum cleaner is required to thoroughly clean the device. [. . . ]
