Safety Warnings Specific For Polishing Operations - Flex PE 14-3 125 Manual De Instrucciones

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.
 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.
 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.
 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.
 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.
 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.
 Do not operate the power tool near flam-
mable materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
 Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may
result reesult in electrocution or shock.
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.
14
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.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse
and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below.
 Maintain a firm grip on the power tool
and position your body and arm to allow
you to resist kickback forces.
Always use auxiliary handle, if provided,
for maximum control over kickback
or torque reaction during start-up.
The operator can control torque reactions
or kickback forces, if proper precautions
are taken.
 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 direction
opposite to the wheel's movement at the
point of snagging.
 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.
 Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving
blade or toothed saw blade.
Such blades create frequent kickback and
loss of control.
Safety Warnings Specific for
Polishing Operations
 Do not allow any loose portion of the
polishing bonnet or its attachment strings
to spin freely. Tuck away or trim any loose
attachment strings. Loose and spinning
attachment strings can entangle your
fingers or snag on the workpiece.
