d) 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.
e) 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 recommended for your
a)
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 guard must be securely attached to the power tool
b)
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.
c) Wheels must be used only for recommended applications.
For example: do not grind with the side of the cut-off
wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral
grinding; side forces applied to these wheels may cause
them to shatter.
d) 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.
e)
Wheels intended for larger power tools are not suitable for
the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
Additional safety warnings specific for abrasive cutting-off operations
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimise
the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces
tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be
placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the
edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel
f) Use extra caution when making a 'pocket cut' into existing
walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel may cut
gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can
cause kickback.
Safety warnings specific for sanding operations
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper.
Follow manufacturer's recommendations, when selecting
sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond the
sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause
snagging, tearing of the disc, or kickback.
Safety warnings specific for wire brushing operations
a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even
during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the wires by
applying excessive load to the brush. The wire bristles can
easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b) If the use of the guard is recommended for wire brushing,
do not allow any interference of the wire wheel or brush
with the guard. Wire wheel or brush may expand in
diameter due to workload and centrifugal
Additional grinder safety
WARNING: When using straight and depressed centre cutting-off
wheels (type 41 and 42) plus grinding wheels that grind on the edge only
(type 1), a cutting guard or cut-off guard must be fitted.
WARNING: DO NOT operate a grinder without the appropriate
guards in place. Reset the guard if the work angle or the position of the
person operating the tool changes.
WARNING: Always check for an expiry date of the grinding or cutting
disc before use (remove from tool if necessary). This will be either printed
on the label or stamped on the inner steel ring of the disc. DO NOT use an
expired disc as it may shatter in use.
The grinding surface of the 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
Do not touch grinding or cutting discs after use until they
•
have cooled down
• Reset the on/off switch of the tool to the 'off' position
whenever the power is interrupted
• The tool can be subject to overload if too much application
force is exerted. Overload can lead to overheating and
damage of the power tool. After use, continue to run the
tool at no-load for several minutes in order to cool it down
by using the fan of the motor
• When operating the grinder, it is an essential safety
requirement that the correct type of guard is installed for
each application to prevent injury. For example, a cutting
guard must be installed when using a cutting or diamond
disc, and a grinding guard must be used with grinding discs
• Grinding tool accessories must be mounted, used and
stored in compliance with the manufacturer's
recommendations
• Use the correct type of cutting or grinding disc for the task
and material. Check the label on the disc or accessory to
find out if it is appropriate to use on the workpiece
• If discs are supplied with blotters they must be fitted and
used correctly. Not fitting blotters may cause the disc to
shatter in use and be a safety risk
• Ensure the cutting/grinding disc or accessory is fitted
correctly and securely before use. Run the tool with the
disc or accessory fitted, but without load, for a reasonable
time before attempting to cut/grind. If excessive vibration
occurs, stop the tool, investigate and correct the cause
before use. Seek professional guidance if you are in doubt
about how to operate the tool safely
• Do not allow discs to become wet or contaminated with
oil. If you suspect a disc has degraded in storage, or if you
are unsure whether its expiry date has passed, DO NOT USE
AND DISCARD
• Do not attempt to cut or grind magnesium or any alloy
that has high magnesium content
• Hold the tool appropriately to ensure that debris produced
does not land on skin or clothing
Do not touch the spindle lock button while the tool is
•
