Special Safety Instructions; Kickback And Related Warnings - Metabo KFM 15-10 F Instrucciones De Manejo

en ENGLISH
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
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.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
2.5 Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
2.6 Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.

3. Special Safety Instructions

a) Do not use accessories that are not
specifically designed and recommended for
6
this power tool by the manufacturer. Just
because the accessory can be attached to your
power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
b) Do not use damaged power tools. Before
use, check the indexable inserts for chipping,
cracks or signs of severe wear and tear. If a
power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for
damage or install an undamaged accessory.
c) Wear personal protective equipment. Use a
face shield, safety goggles or safety goggles
depending on the application. As appropriate,
wear a dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves
and a workshop apron capable of stopping
small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye
protection must be capable of stopping flying debris
generated by various operations. The dust mask or
respirator must be capable of filtering particles
generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure
to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
d) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area must
wear personal protective equipment. Fragments
of a workpiece or broken accessory may fly away
and cause injury beyond the immediate area of
operation.
e) Always hold the tool firmly in your hands
during the start-up. The reaction torque of the
motor as it accelerates to full speed can cause the
tool to twist.
f) Use clamps to support the workpiece
whenever practical. Never hold a small
workpiece in one hand and the tool in the other
hand while in use. Clamping a small workpiece
allows you to use your hands to control the tool.
g) Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop. The
rotating accessory may grab the surface and pull
the power tool out of your control.
h) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at
your side. Accidental contact with the rotating
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.
i) Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The
motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing and
excessive accumulation of powdered metal may
cause electrical hazards.
j) Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks and hot chips can ignite these
materials.
k) Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution or shock.
3.1

Kickback and related warnings

Kickback is the sudden response to an accessory
pinching or jamming while rotating. Pinching or
snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating
accessory. This 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 indexable insert is snagged or
pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the insert that
is entering into the pinch point can dig into the
