Residual Risks - Worcraft AG08-125S Manual Del Usuario

• Never use damaged attachment tools. Check attachment
tools such as grinding discs for chipping or cracks, grinding
plates for cracks, wear or strong abrasion and wire brushes
for loose or broken wires before using them. If the electric tool
or the attachment tool falls off, check whether it is damaged
or, use an undamaged attachment tool. If you have checked
the attachment tool and attached it, keep yourself and any
nearby persons beyond the level of the rotating attachment
tool and allow the device to run for 1 min. at the highest
rotational speed. Damaged tools usually break during this test
period.
• Wear personal safety equipment. Depending on the
application, use full face shields, eye protection or safety
goggles. In so far as it is appropriate, wear dust masks, ear
protection, gloves or special aprons which keep small
grinding and material particles away from you. Eyes should be
protected from the foreign matter which can be caused to fly during
the various applications. Dust or breathing masks should filter the
dust that is created during operation. If you are exposed to loud
noise for a long time, you may suffer hearing loss.
• Ensure that other people are at a safe distance to your
working area. Anyone who enters the working area should
wear personal protective equipment. Broken bits from the piece
being worked or broken attachment tools can fly away and cause
injuries even beyond the direct working area.
• Hold the electric tool only by the insulated gripping surfaces
when performing work in which the cutting tool may come into
contact with hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a live wire can also cause a charge in metal parts of
the device and result in an electric shock.
• Keep the cord away from the rotating attachment tool. If you
lose control of the device, the power cord can become separated
or caught and your hand or arm may be pulled into the rotating
attachment tool.
• Never put the electric tool down before the attachment tool
has come to a full stop. The rotating attachment tool can come
into contact with the surface upon which it is set, whereby you could
lose control of the electric tool.
• Never allow the electric tool to run whilst you are carrying it.
Your clothing may accidentally come into contact with the rotating
attachment tool and get caught and the attachment tool could drill
into your body.
• Clean the ventilation slots of your electric tool routinely. The
motor air pulls dust into the housing and, should too much metallic
dust collect, could cause electrical hazards.
• Never use the electric tool near flammable material. Sparks
could ignite this material.
• Do not use attachment tools which require liquid coolant.
Using water or another liquid coolant could lead to electrical shock.
Additional safety instructions
• Connect the appliance only to a power socket with a residual
current circuit breaker of rated residual current no more than 30
mA.
• Keep power cords and extension cords away from the disc. If they
are damaged or cut through, immediately pull the plug from the
outlet. Do not touch the cable before it has been disconnected from
the power supply. Risk of electric shock!
• The replacement of the plug or the connection line must always
be executed by the manufacturer of the electric tool or his/her
customer service in order to avoid any hazards.
• Only use grinding discs where the indicated rotational speed is at
least as high as what has been specified on the name plate of the
device.
• Carry out a visual inspection of the grinding disc before use. Do
not use any damaged or deformed grinding discs. Replace any
damaged or worn grinding discs.
• Make sure that the sparks produced by grinding do not
present a danger, e.g. reach people or ignite flammable
substances.
• Always wear safety goggles, safety gloves, respiratory
protection and ear protection when grinding, brushing
and cutting.
• Never keep the fingers between the grinding disc and
spark protection or in close proximity to the protective
hoods. There is a risk of crushing.
• The rotating parts of the device cannot be covered due
to functional reasons. Therefore, proceed cautiously and
hold the workpiece firmly in order to avoid slipping which
could cause your hands to come into contact with the
grinding disc.
• The workpiece gets hot during grinding. Do not touch
the machined area, allow it to cool down. There is a risk
of burning. Do not use coolants or the like.
• If you are tired or have consumed alcohol or tablets, do
not work with the device. Always have a break on time.
• Turn off the appliance and, before doing any servicing,
remove the battery.

RESIDUAL RISKS

Even if properly operating and handling this electric tool,
some residual risks will remain. Due to its construction
and build, this electric tool may present the following
hazards:
a) Cuts
b) Ear damage if working without ear protection.
c) Damage to your health caused by swinging your hands
and arms when operating the appliance for longer
periods of time or if the unit is not held or maintained
properly.
d) Health injuries which result from swinging hand and
arm, in the event that the device is used over a longer
period of time or is not used and maintained properly.
Warning! During operation, this electric tool
generates an electromagnetic field which, under certain
circumstances, may impair the functionality of active or
passive medical implants. To reduce the risk of serious or
lethal injuries, we recommend that persons with medical
implants consult their doctor and the manufacturer of
their medical implant before operating the machine.
Kickback
Kickback is the sudden reaction from a chopping or
blocked grinder attachment such as a grinding disc,
grinding plate, wire brush etc. Chopping or blocking leads
to sudden stopping of the rotating attachment. This
causes an uncontrolled electric tool to accelerate in a
direction counter to the rotational direction of the
attachment tool. If, for example, a grinding disc cuts into
the workpiece or blocks it, the edge of the grinding disc
that digs into the workpiece can get caught and, through
that, break off the grinding disc or cause a kickback. The
grinding disc then moves towards or away from the
operator, depending on the direction of rotation of the
disc at the blocked spot. Here, the grinding discs can also
break. A kickback is caused by wrongly or incorrectly
operating the electric tool. It can be avoided by suitable
cautionary measures, such as described below.
a) Hold the electric tool very firmly and bring your body
and your arm into a position in which you can resist the
kickback force. Always use the supplemental handle if
available to give you the best control over kickback force
or reaction time during acceleration. The operator can
master the kickback and reaction force through suitable
precautions.
