Kickback And Related Warnings - Clarke American Sanders CE7 Pro Manual Del Operador

14. Regularly clean the power tools air vents. The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive
accumulation may cause electrical hazards.
15. Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
16. Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturer's recommendations when
selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration
hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.

Kickback and Related Warnings

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 backing pad which in turn causes uncontrolled power tool
to be forced in the opposite direction of the backing pad's rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the work piece, 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 incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below.
1. Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arms to allow you to resist kickback
forces. Always use auxiliary handles, if provided for maximum control over kickback or torque
reactions during start up. The operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
2. Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
3. Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel
the tool in the direction opposite to the wheel's movement at the point of the snagging.
4. Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory.
Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control
or kickback.
Additional Rules For Safe Operation
1. Empty the dust bag or dust collection receiver frequently. Do not leave residue in dust bag or dust collection
receiver unattended. Always empty in a non-combustible metal container. Sanding wood or varnish produces
dust that can self ignite and cause injury or damage. Follow this precaution for storage.
2. Set all exposed nails. Sweep loose abrasive away from work area. Do not strike metal pipes, ect., with
sanding paper. Striking metal or abrasive particles with sanding paper produces sparks that could ignite the
sanding dust which can cause injury or damage.
3. Do not operate a partially assemble power tool. Keep all adjustments within manufacturer's specifications.
Keep all fasteners tight. Operating a partially assembled power tool could result in injury to the operator or
bystander and could cause damage to the equipment or surroundings.
4. Do not attempt to change the sanding paper while the power tool is running. The sanding pad can snag
clothing and cause injury to limbs and moving sanding paper can cause abrasions.
5. The power tool should only be used on an electrical system (mains) that is rated for the electrical
requirements of the power tool as shown on the nameplate. Use only on an earthing (grounded) system. Do
not service the power tool if it is energized or connected to an electrical circuit. Improper use could cause
fire or electric shock.
