coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
d)
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
6)
Service
a)
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR ALL OPERATIONS
Safety Warnings Common for Grinding or Abrasive
Cutting-Off Operations:
a)
This power tool is intended to function as
a grinder or cut-off tool. Read all safety
warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
b)
Operations such as sanding, wire brushing,
polishing are not recommended to be
performed with this power tool. Operations for which
the power tool was not designed may create a hazard and
cause personal injury.
c)
Do not use accessories which are not
specifically designed and recommended by the
tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be
attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
d)
The rated speed of the accessory must be at
least equal to the maximum speed marked on
the power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated
speed can break and fly apart.
e)
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.
f)
Threaded mounting of accessories must match
the grinder spindle thread. For accessories
mounted by flanges, the arbour hole of the
accessory must fit the locating diameter of
the flange. Accessories that do not match the mounting
hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate
excessively and may cause loss of control.
g)
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, wire brush
for loose or cracked wires. 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
EN
minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart
during this test time.
h)
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.
i)
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.
j)
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock.
k)
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.
l)
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.
m) 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.
n)
Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
o)
Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
Further safety instructions for all 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.
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.
a)
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.
