General power tool safety warningsGeneral power tool safety warnings

m) Do not have the electrical power tool

running while you are carrying it. Your

clothing could become trapped by unintention-

al contact with the rotating attachment and the

tool could be pulled into your body.

n) Clean the ventilation slots on your

electrical power tool regularly. The mo-

tor’s fan draws dust into the housing. A build-up

of metal dust could give rise to an electrical

hazard.

Never use the electrical power tool near

inflammable materials. Sparks could ignite

these materials.

p) Do not use attachments that require the

use of coolants. The use of water or other

liquid coolants could result in electric shock.

Safety advice

relating to kickback

Kickback is the sudden reaction to a pinched or

snagged rotating attachment, such as a grinding disc

grinding pad, wire brush etc. Pinching or snagging

results in the rotating attachment coming to an abrupt

stop. This causes the electrical power tool (if not

controlled) to move in the opposite direction to the

direction of rotation of the attachment at the point

of constraint.

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. The

grinding disc moves towards or away from the op-

erator, depending on the direction of movement of

the disc at the point of constraint. The grinding disc

could also break.

Kickback occurs as a result of incorrect use or mis-

use of the electrical power tool. It can be prevented

by taking the appropriate precautions as described

below.

a) Maintain a firm grip on the electrical

power tool and position your body

and arms to allow you to resist kick-

back forces. Always use the auxiliary

handle, if provided, to exercise the

greatest possible control over kick-

back forces or reaction torques as the

device builds up to full speed. By taking

suitable precautions the operator can control

kickback and reaction forces.

b) Do not place your hands near a rotat-

ing attachment. If kickback occurs the at-

tachment could move over your hand.

c) Avoid positioning your body in the

area into which the electrical power

tool would move in the event of a kick-

back. A kickback moves the electrical power

tool in the opposite direction to the direction of

movement of the grinding disc at the point of

constraint.

d) Work particularly carefully in the area

of corners, sharp edges etc. to avoid

the attachment bouncing or snagging

on the workpiece. Corners, sharp edges or

bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating

attachment. This causes loss of control or kick-

back.

e) Do not use saw-chain woodcarving

discs or toothed discs. Such attachments

create frequent kickback and loss of control of

the electrical power tool.

Special safety advice relating

to grinding and disc-cutting

a) Always use the guard designed for the

type of abrasive consumable you are

using. Always use abrasive consuma-

bles approved for use with your elec-

trical 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 opera-

tional 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 consum-

able is exposed to the operator. The disc

guard cover is there to protect the operator from

pieces breaking oﬀ and accidental contact with

the abrasive consumable.
