Kickback And Related Warnings - Clarke American Sanders CE7 Pro Manual Del Operador

14. Regularly clean the power tools air vents. The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation
may cause electrical hazards.
15. Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
16. Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturer's recommendations when selecting
sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause
snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.

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 backing pad which in turn causes uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the opposite
direction of the backing pad's rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the work piece, 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 incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below.
1. Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arms to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always
use auxiliary handles, if provided for maximum control over kickback or torque reactions during start up. The operator
can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
2. Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in the
3.
direction opposite to the wheel's movement at the point of the snagging.
4. 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 RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
Empty the dust bag or dust collection receiver frequently. Do not leave residue in dust bag or dust collection receiver
1.
unattended. Always empty in a non-combustible metal container. Sanding wood or varnish produces dust that can self-
ignite and cause injury or damage. Follow this precaution for storage.
2. Set all exposed nails. Sweep loose abrasive away from work area. Do not strike metal pipes, ect., with sanding paper.
Striking metal or abrasive particles with sanding paper produces sparks that could ignite the sanding dust which can cause injury
or damage.
3. Do not operate a partially assemble power tool. Keep all adjustments within manufacturer's specifications. Keep all
fasteners tight. Operating a partially assembled power tool could result in injury to the operator or bystander and could cause
damage to the equipment or surroundings.
4. Do not attempt to change the sanding paper while the power tool is running. The sanding pad can snag clothing and
cause injury to limbs and moving sanding paper can cause abrasions.
The power tool should only be used on an electrical system (mains) that is rated for the electrical requirements of the
5.
power tool as shown on the nameplate. Use only on an earthing (grounded) system. Do not service the power tool if it
is energized or connected to an electrical circuit. Improper use could cause fire or electric shock.
