Safety Instructions - Chicago Pneumatic CP9120CR Manual Del Operador

The goal of Chicago Pneumatic Tool Co. LLC is to produce tools that help you
work safely and effi ciently. The most important safety device for this or any tool
is YOU. Your care and good judgment are the best protection against injury. All
possible hazards cannot be covered here, but we have tried to highlight some
of the important ones. Only qualifi ed and trained operators should install,
adjust or use this power tool.

Air Supply And Connection Hazards
Never direct air at yourself or anyone else. Air under pressure can
cause severe injury.
Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure and disconnect
tool from air supply when not in use, before changing accessories or
when making repairs.
Whipping hoses can cause serious injury. Always check for damaged
or loose hoses and fi ttings.
Do not use quick disconnect couplings at tool. See instructions for
correct setup.
Whenever universal twist couplings are used, lock pins must be
installed.
Do not exceed maximum air pressure of 90 psi/6.2 bar or as stated on
tool nameplate.
Wheel Guard Usage
Always use the recommended wheel guard to reduce of risk of injury
from broken grinding wheel parts.
If a guard has withstood a wheel breakage do not continue to use it. It
may be damaged.
Position the guard between the grinding wheel and the operator.
Use barriers to protect others from wheel fragments and grinding
sparks.
Entanglement Hazards
Keep away from rotating drive spindle and abrasive. Rotation may
continue for several seconds after the throttle has been released. Do
not lay the tool down until rotation has stopped.
Do not wear jewelry or loose clothing.
Scalping can occur if hair is not kept away from tool and accessories.
Choking can occur if neckwear is not kept away from tool and
accessories.
Projectile Hazards
Always wear impact-resistant eye and face protection when involved
with or near the operation, repair or maintenance of the tool or
changing accessories on the tool.
Be sure all others in the area are wearing impact-resistant eye and face
protection.
Even small projectiles can injure eyes and cause blindness.
A grinding wheel that bursts can cause very serious injury or death.
Daily measure the air grinder speed with a tachometer to make sure
that it is not greater than the RPM marked on the grinding wheel.
Never use a grinding wheel marked with a speed lower than the air
grinder speed.
Never use cutting-off wheels for side grinding.
This tool and its accessories must not be modifi ed in any way.
Grinding wheel mounting hazards
Always shut off air supply, relieve hose of air pressure and disconnect
tool from air supply when changing accessories.
Use only recommended sizes and types of abrasives.
To reduce risk of injury, everyone using, installing, repairing,
maintaining, changing accessories on, or working near this tool
must read and understand these instructions before performing
any such task.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

DO NOT DISCARD - GIVE TO USER
WARNING
Do not use chipped or cracked wheels, or wheels which may have
been dropped.
Correct grinding wheel mounting is necessary to prevent injury from
broken wheels.
Avoid mismatch between UNC and metric threads.
Grinding wheels should be a free fi t on the spindle to prevent stress at
the hole. Do not use reducing bushes to fi t large hole grinding wheels.
Use only wheel collars that come with the grinder for mounting the
grinding wheel. Flat washers or other adapters may over stress the
wheel. Always use heavy paper blotter discs between the wheel collars
and the grinding wheel.
Tighten the wheel on the spindle to prevent spin off when the air
grinder is turned off.
Before grinding, test grinding wheel by briefl y running tool at full
throttle. Be sure to use a barrier (such as under a heavy work table) to
stop any possible broken wheel parts. Stop immediately if vibration is
excessive.
Operators and maintenance personnel must be physically able to
handle the bulk, weight and power of the tool.
Ensure that the workpiece is properly supported.
Avoid wheel jamming when cutting-off. Support the workpiece on both
sides of the cut line to prevent the wheel becoming trapped. If jamming
occurs, release the throttle and ease the wheel free. Check the wheel is
undamaged and properly secured before continuing.
Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing.
Avoid contact with rotating spindle and accessory to prevent cutting
of hands and other body parts. Wear protective equipment such as
gloves, apron and helmet.
Ensure that sparks do not cause a hazard to people or materials.
There is a risk of electrostatic discharge if used on plastic and other
non-conductive materials.
Slip/Trip/Fall is a major cause of serious injury or death. Be aware of
excess hose left on the walking or work surface.
High sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss. Use hearing
protection as recommended by your employer or OSHA regulation
(see 29 CFR part 1910).
Repetitive work motions, awkward positions and exposure to vibration
can be harmful to hands and arms. If numbness, tingling, pain or
whitening of the skin occurs, stop using tool and consult a physician.
Avoid inhaling dust or handling debris from the work process which
can be harmful to your health. Use dust extraction and wear respiratory
protective equipment when working with materials which produce
airborne particles.
This tool is not intended for use in explosive atmospheres and is not
insulated for contact with electric power sources.
Proceed with care in unfamiliar surroundings. Hidden hazards may
exist, such as electric or other utility lines.
Potentially explosive atmospheres can be caused by dust and fumes
resulting from sanding or grinding. Use dust extraction or suppression
system which are suitable for the material being processed.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead based paints
- Crystalline silica bricks and cement and other masonry products
- And Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated rubber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do
this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in
a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as dust masks that are specially designed to fi lter out microscopic
particles.
For professional use only.
