Additional Safety Warnings Specific For Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations - Flex L 21-6 230 Instrucciones De Funcionamiento Originales

Angle grinder L 21-6 230/L 21-8 180/L 24-6 230/L 2100
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 Grinding
and Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations
Use only wheel types that are recommen-

ded for your power tool and the specific
guard designed for the selected wheel.
Wheels for which the power tool was not
designed cannot be adequately guarded
and are unsafe.
The grinding surface of centre depressed

wheels must be mounted below the plane
of the guard lip. An improperly mounted
wheel that projects through the plane of
the guard lip cannot be adequately
protected.
The guard must be securely attached to

the power tool and positioned for
maximum safety, so the least amount of
wheel is exposed towards the operator.
The guard helps to protect the operator
from broken wheel fragments, accidental
contact with wheel and sparks that could
ignite clothing.
Wheels must be used only for recommen-

ded applications. For example: do not
grind with the side of cut-off wheel.
Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for
peripheral grinding; side forces applied to
these wheels may cause them to shatter.
Always use undamaged wheel flanges

that are of correct size and shape for your
selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges
support the wheel thus reducing the
possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for
cut-off wheels may be different from
grinding wheel flanges.
Do not use worn down wheels from larger

power tools. Wheel intended for larger
power tool is not suitable for the higher
speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
Additional Safety Warnings specific for
Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations
Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply

excessive pressure. Do not attempt to
make an excessive depth of cut.
Overstressing the wheel increases the
loading and susceptibility to twisting or
binding of the wheel in the cut and the
possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
Do not position your body in line with and

behind the rotating wheel. When the
wheel, at the point of operation, is moving
away from your body, the possible
kickback may propel the spinning wheel
and the power tool directly at you.
When wheel is binding or when

interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off
the power tool and hold the power tool
motionless until the wheel comes to a
complete stop. Never attempt to remove
the cut-off wheel from the cut while the
wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may
occur. Investigate and take corrective
action to eliminate the cause of wheel
binding.
Do not restart the cutting operation in the

workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed
and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel
may bind, walk up or kickback if the power
tool is restarted in the workpiece.
