Cut-Off Machine Safety Warnings - HIKOKI СС 14SF Instrucciones De Manejo

English
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not
allow for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed
repair person using only identical replacement
parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
PRECAUTION
Keep children and infi rm persons away.
When not in use, tools should be stored out of reach of
children and infi rm persons.
CUT-OFF MACHINE SAFETY
WARNINGS
1) Cut-off machine safety warnings
a) Position yourself and bystanders away from the
plane of the rotating wheel. The guard helps to
protect the operator from broken wheel fragments
and accidental contact with wheel.
b) Use only bonded reinforced cut-off wheels for
your power tool. Just because an accessory can be
attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe
operation.
c) The rated speed of the accessory must be at
least equal to the maximum speed marked on
the power tool. Accessories running faster than
their rated speed can break and fl y apart.
d) Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with the
side of a cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are
intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied
to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
e) Always use undamaged wheel fl anges that are of
correct diameter for your selected wheel. Proper
wheel fl anges support the wheel thus reducing the
possibility of wheel breakage.
f) The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating
of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories
cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
g) The arbour size of wheels and fl anges must
properly fi t the spindle of the power tool. Wheels
and fl anges with arbour holes that do not match the
mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of
balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of
control.
h) Do not use damaged wheels. Before each use,
inspect the wheels for chips and cracks. If the
power tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for
damage or install an undamaged wheel. After
inspecting and installing the wheel, position
yourself and bystanders away from the plane
of the rotating wheel and run the power tool
at maximum no load speed for one minute.
Damaged wheels will normally break apart during
this test time.
i) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending
on application, use face shield, safety goggles
or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust
mask, hearing protectors, gloves and shop
apron capable of stopping small abrasive or
workpiece fragments. The eye protection must
be capable of stopping fl ying debris generated by
various operations. The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of fi ltrating particles generated by
your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
j) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area must
wear personal protective equipment. Fragments
of workpiece or of a broken wheel may fl y away and
cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
k) Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut
or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into
the spinning wheel.
l) Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The
motor's fan can draw the dust inside the housing
and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may
cause electrical hazards.
m) Do not operate the power tool near fl ammable
materials. Do not operate the power tool while
placed on a combustible surface such as wood.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
n) Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution or shock.
2) Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
rotating wheel. Pinching or snagging causes rapid
stalling of the rotating wheel which in turn causes the
uncontrolled cutting unit to be forced upwards toward
the operator.
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.
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.
a) Maintain a fi rm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kickback forces. The operator can control
upward kickback forces, if proper precautions are
taken.
b) Do not position your body in line with the
rotating wheel. If kickback occurs, it will propel the
cutting unit upwards toward the operator.
c) Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving blade,
segmented diamond wheel with a peripheral
gap greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade.
Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of
control.
d) Do not "jam" the wheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive
depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the
loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of
the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or
wheel breakage.
e) When the wheel is binding or when interrupting
a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool
and hold the cutting unit motionless until the
wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt
to remove the wheel from the cut while the wheel
is in motion otherwise kickback may occur.
Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate
the cause of wheel binding.
f) Do not restart the cutting operation in the
workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and
carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind,
walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in
the workpiece.
