Further Safety Instructions For All Operations - Ratio PRO XF750 Manual De Instrucciones

5. The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity
rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or
controlled.
6. The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any other accessory must properly fit
the spindle of the power tool. Accessories with arbour holes that do not match the mounting
hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of
control.
7. Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as abrasive
wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear. If power tool
or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory. After
inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself and bystanders away from the
plane of the rotating accessory and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one
minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this test time.
8. Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety
goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves
and 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 filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
9. Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory
may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
10. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the
operator.
11. Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or
snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
12. Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The
spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
13. Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
14. 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.
15. Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
16. Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution or shock.
17. Your hand must hold on the handle when you are working. Always use the auxiliary handles
supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury

OPERATIONS
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 accessory which in turn
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 abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, 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.
