Additional Safety Warnings - Carat BS-1252 Instrucciones De Manejo

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.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your 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 reactions
or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. The accessory
may kickback over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where the 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, 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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
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.
Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line
causes property damage or may cause an electric shock.
b) Do not touch diamond grinding tools before they have cooled.
Diamond grinding tools become very hot while working.
c) When working stone, use dust extraction. The vacuum cleaner
must be approved for the extraction of stone dust. Using this
equipment reduces dust‐related hazards.
d) When working with the machine, always hold it firmly with both
hands and provide for a secure stance. The power tool is guided
more secure with both hands.
e) Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping
devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
f) Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials are particularly
dangerous. Dust from light alloys can burn or explode.
g) Never use the machine with a damaged cable. Do not touch the
damaged cable and pull the mains plug when the cable is damaged
while working. Damaged cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
