Additional Safety Warnings - Arbortech PWC.FG.900.20 Manual De Instrucciones

e. The outside diameter and thickness of your accessory must be
within the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized
accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
Threaded mounting of accessories must match the grinder
f.
spindle thread. For accessories mounted by flanges, the arbour
hole of the accessory must fit the locating diameter of the
flange. Accessories that do not match the mounting hardware of
the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and
may cause loss of control.
g. Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the
accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing
pad for cracks, tear or excess wear. If power tool or accessory
is dropped, inspect for damage or install and undamaged
accessory. After inspecting and installing an accessory, position
yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating
accessory and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed
for one minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart
during this test time.
h. Wear personal protective
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As
appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and
workshop 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.
i. Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone
entering the work area must wear personal protective
equipment. Fragments of workpiece or a broken accessory may
fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
j. 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.
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 accessory.
l. Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to
a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface
and pull the power tool out of your control.
m. 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.
n. 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.
Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials.
o.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
p. Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water
or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
7) 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 accessory which in turn causes the
uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the
accessory's rotation at the point of the binding.
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. 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/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below.
equipment. Depending on
4
a. Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body
and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use the
auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over
kickback or torque reaction during start up. The operator can
control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory
b.
may kickback over your hand.
c. 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
snagging.
d. Use special care when working corners and 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.
e. Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw
blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
f. Do not attach reinforced abrasive cut-off wheel. Such tools can
break and cause injuries.
8) SAFETY WARNINGS
GRINDING OPERATIONS
a. Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power
tool and the specific guard designed for the selected wheel.
Wheels for which the power tool was not designed cannot be
adequately guarded and are unsafe.
b. The grinding surface of centre depressed wheels must be
mounted below the plane of the guard lip. An improperly
mounted wheel that projects through the plane of the guard lip
cannot be adequately protected.
c. The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and
positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel
is exposed towards the operator. The guard helps to protect the
operator from broken wheel fragments, accidental contact with
the wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing.
d. Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For
example: do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive
cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces
applied to the se wheels may cause them to shatter.
e. Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct size
and shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges
support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel
breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from
grinding wheel flanges.
f. Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools. Wheel
intended for larger power tool is not suitable for the higher
speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
9) SAFETY WARNINGS
SANDING OPERATIONS
a. 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.
b. Adjust the speed as recommended for sanding applications.
High speed sanding presents laceration and burning hazard.
⚠

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

Wear hearing protection; Wear eye protection; Wear dust
mask; Wear protective gloves.
a. Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in
the work area or call the local utility company for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock.
