DETAILED SAFETY REGULATIONS
Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding, Wire Brushing,
Polishing or Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:
This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander,
a)
wire brush, or cut-off tool. Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with
this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Operations such as polishing are not recommended to be
b)
performed with this power tool. Operations for which the
power tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause
personal injury.
Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed
c)
and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because the
accessory can be attached to your power too, it does not assure
safe operation.
The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to
d)
the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories
running faster than their speed can break and fly apart.
The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory
e)
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.
Do not use a damage accessory. Before each use inspect the
g)
accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing
pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for loose or
cracked wires. If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for
damage or install an 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.
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
h)
application, use face shield, safety googles 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 loos.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone
i)
entering the work area must wear personal protective
equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may
fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
j)
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.
Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose
k)
control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm
may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come
l)
to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface
and pull the power tool out of your control.
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side.
m)
Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your
clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The motor's fan will
n)
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.
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using
p)
water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
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 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.
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your
a)
body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always
use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over
kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The operator can
control torque reaction or kickback forces, if proper precautions
are taken.
Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory
b)
may kickback over your hand.
Do not position your body in the area where power tool will
c)
move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in direction
opposite to the wheel's movement at the point of snagging.
Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid
d)
bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or
bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and
cause loss of control of kickback.
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw
e)
blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and Abrasive Cutting-Off
Operations:
Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power
a)
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.
The grinding surface of centre depressed wheels must be
b)
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.
The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and
c)
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
wheel, and sparks that could ignite clothing.
Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For
d)
example: do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive
cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces
applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct
e)
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.
