d) 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.
e) Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving blade or toothed
saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
Safety Warnings Speciic for Grinding and Abrasive Cutting-
Of Operations:
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your
power tool and the speciic guard designed for the selected
wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not designed cannot be
adequately guarded and are unsafe.
b) 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 operator from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact
with wheel.
c) Wheels must be used only for recommended applications.
For example: do not grind with the side of cut-of wheel.
Abrasive cut-of wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side
forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
d) Always use undamaged wheel langes that are of correct
size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel langes
support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
Flanges for cut-of wheels may be diferent from grinding wheel
langes.
e) 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.
Additional Safety Warnings Speciic for Abrasive Cutting-Of
Operations:
a) Do not "jam" the cut-of wheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut.
Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility
to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of
kickback or wheel breakage.
b) Do not position your body in line with and behind the
rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation, is
moving away from your body, the possible kickback may propel the
spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
c) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any
reason, switch of the power tool and hold the power tool
motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never
attempt to remove the cut-of 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 binding.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let
the wheel reach full speed and carefully reenter the cut. The
wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in
the workpiece.
e) 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.
f) 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.
Safety Warnings Speciic for Sanding Operations:
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow
manufacturers 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.
Safety Warnings Speciic 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) If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing, do
not allow any interference of the wire wheel or brush with
the guard. Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter due to
work load and centrifugal forces.
Appliances used at many diferent locations including open air should
be connected via a residual current device (FI, RCD, PRCD) of 30mA
or less.
Sawdust and splinters must not be removed while the machine is
running.
Only plug-in when machine is switched of.
Never reach into the danger area of the plane when it is running.
Always use the auxiliary handle.
Always use the protecting cap when roughing-down and separating.
Immediately switch of the machine in case of considerable vibrations
or if other malfunctions occur. Check the machine in order to ind out
the cause.
Always use and store the grinding disks according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
When grinding metal, lying sparks are produced. Take care that
no persons are endangered. Because of the danger of ire, no
combustible materials should be located in the vicinity (spark light
zone). Do not use dust extraction.
Due care should be taken that no sparks or sanding dust lying from
the workpiece come into contact with you.
When separating stone the guide shoe must be used!
The adjusting nut must be tightened before starting to work with
the machine.
The workpiece must be ixed if it is not heavy enough to be steady.
