Kickback And Related Warnings - Ryobi RRT200 Manual Del Operador

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.
 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.
 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.
 Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting
accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
 Always hold the tool firmly in your hand(s) during
the start-up. The reaction torque of the motor, as it
accelerates to full speed, can cause the tool to twist.
 Use clamps to support 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 hand(s) to control the
tool. Round material such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing
have a tendency to roll while being cut, and may cause
the bit to bind or jump toward you.
 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.
ROTARY TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
 After changing the bits or making any adjustments,
make sure the collet nut, chuck or any other
adjustment devices are securely tightened. Loose
adjustment devices can unexpectedly shift, causing loss
of control, loose rotating components will be violently
thrown.
 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 flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
 Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
 The maximum recommended diameter of mounted
wheels, threaded cones and plugs shall not exceed
2 in. (55 mm) and that the maximum recommended
diameter of sanding accessories shall not exceed 3
in. (80 mm).

KICKBACK AND RELATED WARNINGS

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating
wheel, sanding band, 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.
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.
