Kickback And Related Warnings - Worx WX426 Manual De Instrucciones

wheels from larger power tools.
Wheels intended for a larger power tool
are not suitable for the higher speed of a
smaller tool and may burst.
g) 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.
h) The arbour size of wheels and flanges
must properly fit the spindle of
the power tool. Wheels and flanges
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.
i) Do not use damaged wheels. Before
each use, inspect the wheels for chips
and cracks. If 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.
j) 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 flying debris generated by various
operations. The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of filtrating particles
generated by your operation. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity noise may cause
hearing loss.
k) 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 fly
away and cause injury beyond immediate
area of operation.
Electric Circular Saw
I) Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces only, when
performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting
accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
m) Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory. lf you lose control, the cord
may be cut or snagged and your hand or
arm may be pulled into the spinning wheel.
n) Never lay the power tool down until
the accessory has come to a complete
stop. The spinning wheel may grab the
surface and pull the power tool out of your
control.
o) Do not run the power tool while
carrying it at your side. Accidental
contact with the spinning accessory could
snag your clothing, pulling the accessory
into your body.
p) Regularly clean the power tool's air
vents. The motor's fan will draw the
dust inside the housing and excessive
accumulation of powdered metal may
cause electrical hazards.
q) Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
r) Do not use accessories that require
liquid coolants. Using water or other
liquid coolants may result in electrocution
or shock.

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 power
tool to be forced in the direction opposite of
the wheel's rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged
