Additional Safety Information - Black and Decker BCRT8I Manual De Instrucciones

d. Do not position your hand in line with and behind the
rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation,
is moving away from your hand, the possible kickback
may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly
at you.
e. When wheel is pinched, snagged or when interrupting
a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool and
hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes
to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off
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 pinching or snagging.
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.
g. Support panels or any oversized workpiece to
minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback.
Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight.
Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the
line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both
sides of the wheel.
h. Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut" into
existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding
wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or
objects that can cause kickback.
Additional safety instructions for wire brushing
operations
Safety warnings specific for wire brushing
operations:
a. Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush
even during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the
wires by applying excessive load to the brush. The
wire bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b. Allow brushes to run at operating speed for at least
one minute before using them. During this time no
one is to stand in front or in line with the brush. Loose
bristles or wires will be discharged during the run-in time.
c. Direct the discharge of the spinning wire brush away
from you. Small particles and tiny wire fragments may be
discharged at high velocity during the use of these
brushes and may become imbedded in your skin.
Additional safety rules for rotary tools
a. Always wear eye protection when using this tool!
b. If accessory jams, turn tool off before freeing
accessory from the jam.
c. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
(Original instructions)
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of
the tool "live" and shock the operator.
d. When using cutoff wheels always have the work
securely clamped. Never attempt to hold the work with
one hand while using any cutting accessory.
e. Keep hands away from rotating accessories.
f. Allow accessories and collets to cool before touching
with bare hands. They will be hot after using.
g. Insure there are no foreign objects in the workpiece
such as nails which if hit could cause loss of control
of unit.
h. Always feed the cutter into the material in the same
direction as the chips are being thrown. Feeding the
tool in the wrong direction can cause loss of control.
i. Keep handles dry, clean, free from oil and grease. This
will enable better control of the tool.
j. When cutting wood, extra care should be taken to
avoid inhalation and minimize skin contact.
k. Wear ear protection. Noise level may be amplified when
using tool in enclosed spaces.
l. This tool has an internal speed control, never use an
external speed control on this unit.
m. Do not use worn accessories.
n. Do not use grinding wheels that have cracks.
o. When turning tool on, hold it away from your face,
since a damaged accessory could come apart.

Additional Safety Information

Warning! Never modify the power tool or any
part of it. Damage or personal injury could result.
@
Warning! ALWAYS use safety glasses.
Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses.
Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation
is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY
EQUIPMENT:
Warning! Some dust created by power sanding,
@
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
Lead from lead-based paints,
u
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
u
masonry products.
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
u
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 those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.
