Special Safety Instructions For Sanding - Flex WST 700 VV Instrucciones De Funcionamiento Originales

 Keep the power cord away from rotating
insertion tools.
If you lose control of the appliance,
the power cord could be severed or
become caught and your hand or arm
may strike the rotating insertion tool.
 Never put down the electric power tool
until the insertion tool has come to
a standstill.
The rotating insertion tool may come into
contact with the support surface, possibly
resulting in you losing control of the electric
power tool.
 Never leave the electric power tool
running while you are carrying it.
Your clothing may become caught by
accidental contact with the rotating insertion
tool which may then drill into your body.
 Regularly clean the ventilation slots
on your electric power tool.
The motor fan draws dust into the housing;
a large build-up of metal dust may cause
electrical hazards.
 Never use the electric power tool near
combustible materials.
Sparks may ignite these materials.
 Never use insertion tools which require
liquid coolants.
The use of water or other liquid coolants
may result in electric shock.
Recoil and appropriate safety
instructions
Kickback is the sudden reaction to a pinched
or snagged rotating insertion tool, such as
a sanding disc, sanding pad, wire brush, etc.
Pinching or snagging may cause a rotating
insertion tool to stop abruptly. As a result, an
uncontrolled electric power tool is accelerated
against the direction of rotation of the insertion
tool at the blocking point.
For example, if a sanding disc is snagged or
pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the
sanding disc which is entering the workpiece
may become caught and cause the sanding
disc to break off or kick back. The sanding disc
then moves towards or away from the operator,
depending on the direction in which the disc is
rotating at the point of pinching. Sanding discs
may also break under these conditions.

A recoil occurs if the electric power tool is
used incorrectly or improperly. A recoil can
be prevented by appropriate precautions as
described below.
 Hold the electric power tool firmly and
position your body and arms to allow
you to absorb kickback forces. If fitted,
always use the auxiliary handle to ensure
the best possible control over the recoil
forces or reaction torques when
acceleration occurs.
The operator can control kickback and
reaction forces by taking appropriate
precautions.
 Keep your hands away from the rotating
insertion tool.
The insertion tool may kickback over your
hand.
 Keep your body out of the area into which
the electric power tool moves when
a recoil occurs.
Kickback propels the electric power tool in
the direction opposite to the movement of
the sanding disc at the point of pinching.
 Work especially carefully near corners,
sharp edges, etc. Prevent the insertion
tool from recoiling off the workpiece and
jamming.
The rotating insertion tool has a tendency
to snag on corners, sharp edges or if it
bounces. This causes a loss of control or
kickback.
 Do not use a chain or toothed saw blade.
Such insertion tools frequently cause
a kickback or the loss of control of the
electric power tool.
Special safety instructions
for sanding
 Do not use oversized sanding sheets,
but follow the manufacturer's specifica-
tions for the size of sanding sheets.
Sanding sheets which project over the
sanding pad may cause injuries as well as
block and rip the sanding sheets or cause
a kickback.
