Maintain power tools with care.
e)
Check moving parts for proper function and smooth
running, and check whether there are parts which are
broken or damaged to the extent that the functionality
of the power tool is impaired. Have damaged parts
repaired before using the power tool. Many accidents
are caused by poorly-maintained power tools.
f)
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully
maintained cutting tools with sharp edges are less
likely to jam and can be guided more easily.
g)
Use power tools, accessory parts, insertion tools,
etc. in compliance with these instructions.
Take into account the working conditions and the ac-
tivity which is to be carried out. Using power tools for
applications other than those intended may cause dan-
gerous Situations.
Service
Have your power tool repaired by qualified spe-
a)
cialists only, and always use original spare parts
for repair. This is to maintain the safety of the pow-
er tool.
Safety notes for all applications- General safety notes
for grinding, sanding, working with wire brushes, pol-
ishing and cutting by grinding
a)
This power tool must be used as a sandpaper
grinder.
Observe all safety notes, instructions, illustrations and
data which are provided together with the tool. Non-
observance oft he following instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or severe injury.
This power tool is not suited for grinding, Opera-
b)
tions with wire brushes, polishing and cutting by
grinding.
Using the power tool for applications other than the in-
tended ones may result in risks and injury.
Only use accessory parts especially provided for
c)
this tool and recommended by the manufacturer.
The mere fact that you can mount accessory parts to
your power tool does not ensure safe use.
d)
The permissible speed of the insertion tool must be
at least as high as the maximum speed specified
on the power tool.
Accessories with a higher speed may break and fly off.
The outer diameter and the thickness of the inser-
e)
tion tool must comply with the dimensions speci-
fied on your power tool.
lt is not possible to shield or control insertion tools with
different dimensions.
Grinding disks, flanges, grinding plates or other
f)
accessory parts must exactly mate the grinding
spindie of your power tool.
nsertion tools which do not exactly mate the grinding
spindle of your powertool will perform irregular rota-
tions, cause high vibrations and thus the loss of control.
Do not use damaged insertion tools.
g)
Prior to each application, you must check insertion tools
such as grinding disks for chippings and cracks, grind-
ing plates for cracks, wear or major abrasion, wire
brushes for loose or broken wires. lf the power tool or
insertion tool falls down, you must check it for damag-
es, or use an undamaged insertion tool. After you have
checked and inserted the insertion tool, both you and
persons in the vicinity must stay out of the Ievel of the
rotating insertion tool, and the tool must be operated at
maximum speed for one minute. Most of the damaged
insertion tools will break within this test period.
Wear personal protective equipment.
h)
Depending on the application of the power tool, you
must wear a full face shield, eye protection or goggles.
lf appropriate, you must wear a dust mask, hearing
protection, protective gloves or a special apron which
protects you against small grinding chips and mate-
rial particles. Protect your eyes against foreign objects
which fly off du ring different operations. The purpose
of dust masks and breathing equipment is to filter the
dust generated during the operation. Long-term expo-
sure to high noise pollution may cause hearing loss.
i)
Make sure that other persons stay a safe distance
away from your working area.
Persons accessing your working area must wear per-
sonal protective equipment. Fragments of the work
piece or broken insertion tools may fly off and cause
injury even outside the direct working area.
j)
Always hold the tool by its insulated handles
when the insertion tool may come into contact
with hidden power lines or with the power cord of
the power tool.
Contact with live lines may energise metal tool parts
and cause electric shock.
k)
Keep the power cord away from rotating insertion
tools.
lf you lose control of the power tool, the power cord
may be cut or trapped, and your hand or arm may get
into the path of the rotating insertion tool.
Never put aside the power tool before the com-
l)
plete halt of the insertion tool.
Rotating insertion tools may get in contact with the place
of deposit thus causing the loss of control of the tool.
m) Switch oft the power tool while you carry it
around.
Your clothes may be trapped when unintentionally get-
ting in contact with the rotating insertion tool and the
insertion tool may penetrate your body.
n)
The ventilation slots of your power tool must be
cleaned on a regular basis.
The motor fan sucks in dust, and the accumulation of
metal dust may cause electrical risks.
Do not use the power tool in the vicinity of inflam-
o)
mable materials.
Sparks may ignite these materials.
p)
Do not use insertion tools which require liquid
coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may cause electric
shock.
