Cut-Off Machine Safety Warnings - Bosch TG502 Instrucciones De Funcionamiento Y Seguridad

and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfa-
miliar with the power tool or these instruc-
tions to operate the power tool. Power tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained us-
ers.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tool's operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
The guard provided with the tool must be
securely attached to the power tool and po-
sitioned for maximum safety, so the least
amount of wheel is exposed towards the
operator. Position yourself and bystanders
away from the plane of the rotating wheel.
The guard helps to protect operator from bro-
ken wheel fragments and accidental contact
with wheel.
Use only bonded reinforced or diamond
cut-off wheels for your power tool. Just be-
cause an accessory can be attached to your
power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
The rated speed of the accessory must
be at least equal to the maximum speed
marked on the power tool. Accessories run-
ning faster than their rated speed can break
and fly apart.
Wheels must be used only for recommend-
ed applications. For example: do not grind
with the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-
off wheels are intended for peripheral grind-
ing, side forces applied to these wheels may
cause them to shatter.
Always use undamaged wheel flanges that
are of correct diameter for your selected
wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the
wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel
breakage.
Do not use worn down reinforced wheels
from larger power tools. Wheels intended
for a larger power tool are not suitable for the
higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
The outside diameter and the thickness
of your accessory must be within the ca-

Cut-Off Machine Safety Warnings

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Prop-
erly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instruc-
tions, taking into account the working con-
ditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a quali-
fied repair person using only identical re-
placement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
pacity rating of your power tool. Incor-
rectly sized accessories cannot be adequately
guarded or controlled.
The arbor size of wheels and flanges must
properly fit the spindle of the power tool.
Wheels and flanges with arbor holes that do
not match the mounting hardware of the pow-
er tool will run out of balance, vibrate exces-
sively and may cause loss of control.
Do not use damaged wheels. Before each
use, inspect the wheels for chips and
cracks. If power tool or wheel is dropped,
inspect for damage or install an undam-
aged wheel. After inspecting and installing
the wheel, position yourself and bystanders
away from the plane of the rotating wheel
and run the power tool at maximum no load
speed for one minute. Damaged wheels will
normally break apart during this test time.
Wear personal protective equipment. De-
pending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As ap-
propriate, wear dust mask, hearing pro-
tectors, gloves and shop apron capable of
stopping small abrasive or workpiece frag-
ments. 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 in-
tensity noise may cause hearing loss.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away
from work area. Anyone entering the work
area must wear personal protective equip-
ment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken
