Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating
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 wheel may either jump toward or
away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel’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 by
taking proper precautions as given below.

Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable for the
higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
Appliances used at many different locations including open air
should be connected via a residual current device of 30 mA or
less.
Always wear goggles when using the machine. It is
recommended to wear gloves, sturdy non slipping shoes and
apron.
Always disconnect the plug from the socket before carrying out
any work on the machine.
Only plug-in when machine is switched off.
Keep mains lead clear from working range of the machine.
Always lead the cable away behind you.
After switching off, the machine will not be idle immediately.
(After-running of the work spindle.) Allow the machine to come
to a stop before putting down.
Never reach into the danger area of the plane when it is
running.
Only use tools whose permitted speed is at least as high as the
highest no-load speed of the machine.
Check grinding tools before use. The grinding tool must be
properly mounted and turn freely. Perform a test run for at least
30 seconds without load. Do not use damaged, out of round or
vibrating grinding tools.

The adjusting nut must be tightened before starting to work with
the machine.
Under the effect of extreme electromagnetic interferences from
the outside, temporary variations in the speed of rotation could
arise in particular cases.
Always use and store the grinding disks according to the
manufacturer‘s instructions.

hand.
Make sure that the grinding tool is installed in accordance with
the manufacturer‘s instructions.
The size of the grinding tool must be suitable for the grinder.
For dusty operations, the machine‘s ventilation slits must be
kept clear. If necessary, switch off the power to the machine
and remove the dust. Use a non-metallic object for this, taking
care not to damage any of the inner parts.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
Straight grinders are suited for grinding metal, plastic, or similar
materials, especially in hard accessible corners and places.
Do not use this product in any other way as stated for normal
use.
