Additional Safety Warnings - Force PT110921 Manual De Operador

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

1) Always use proper guard with grinding wheel. A guard protects the
operator from broken wheel fragments. When using grinding wheel
attachments, the guard must always be attached to the tool and positioned
for maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed from the side
the tool is being operated.
2) Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the
tool warning label. Wheels and other accessories running over rated speed
can fly apart and cause injury. Grinding wheels or any other accessory must
have a maximum safe operating speed greater than the "no load RPM"
marked on the tool's nameplate.
3) Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tools may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and
shock the operator.
4) Always use auxiliary handle for maximum control over torque reaction
or kick-back. Operation of the grinder without the side handle could cause
loss of control of the grinder, resulting in possible serious personal injury.
5) Before using a grinder or installing a new wheel, inspect the grinding
wheel for chips and cracks. Remove bad wheels immediately. Run the tool
at no load for one minute, holding the tool in the direction away from people.
Wheels with flaws will normally break apart during this time.
6) Carefully handle both the tool and individual grinding wheels to avoid
chipping or cracking. Install a new wheel if tool is dropped while grinding.
Do not use a wheel that may be damaged. Fragments from a wheel that
bursts during operation will fly away at great velocity possibly striking you or
bystanders.
7) Do not use grinding wheel that is larger than the maximum
recommended size for your tool, or worn down damaged wheels from
larger grinders. Wheels intended for large angle grinders are not suitable
for the high speed of a small angle grinder. These wheels may easily burst
and the fragments strike you or bystanders.
8) Do not use depressed hub grinding wheels for cut-off operations.
Depressed hub wheels or type 27 wheels are not intended for side loading
and may shatter under overload.
9) Position the cord clear of the spinning grinding wheel or any other
accessory. Do not wrap the cord around your arm or wrist. If you lose
control and have the cord wrapped around your arm or wrist it may entrap
you and cause injury.
10) Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel especially when working
corners, sharp edges etc. this can cause loss of control and kick-back.
11) Clean out your tool often, especially after heavy use. Dust and grit
containing metal particles often accumulate on interior surfaces and could
create an electric shock hazard.
12) Do not grind or sand near flammable materials. Sparks from the wheel
could ignite these materials.
