h)
Wear personal protective equipment. Depend-
ing on the application of the power tool, you must
wear a full face shield, eye protection or goggles.
lf appropriate, you must wear a dust mask, hear-
ing protection, protective gloves or a special apron
which protects you against small grinding chips
and material particles. Protect your eyes against
foreign objects which fly off du ring different oper-
ations. The purpose of dust masks and breathing
equipment is to filter the dust generated during
the operation. Long-term exposure to high noise
pollution may cause hearing loss.
i)
Make sure that other persons stay a safe distance
away from your working area. Persons accessing
your working area must wear personal protective
equipment. Fragments of the work piece or broken
insertion tools may fly off and cause injury even
outside the direct working area.
j)
Always hold the tool by its insulated handles when
the insertion tool may come into contact with hid-
den power lines or with the power cord of the pow-
er tool. Contact with live lines may energise metaI
tool parts and cause electric shock.
k)
Keep the power cord away from rotating inser-
tion tools. lf you lose control of the power tool,
the power cord may be cut or trapped, and your
hand or arm may get into the path of the rotating
insertion tool.
l)
Never put aside the power tool before the com-
plete halt of the insertion tool. Rotating insertion
tools may get in contact with the place of deposit
thus causing the loss of control of the tool.
m) Switch of the power tool while you carry it around.
Your clothes may be trapped when unintentionally
getting in contact with the rotating insertion tool
and the insertion tool may penetrate your body.
n)
The ventilation slots of your power tool must be
cleaned on a regular basis. The motor fan sucks
in dust, and the accumulation of metaI dust may
cause electrical risks.
o)
Do not use the power tool in the vicinity of inflam-
mable materials. Sparks may ignite these materials.
p)
Do not use insertion tools which require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may
cause electric shock.
Further safety notes for all applications - kickback and
corresponding safety notes
A kickback is the sudden reaction caused by rotating
insertion tools such as a grinding disk, grinding plate,
wire brush, etc. which has got caught or which blocks.
24 | GB
Getting caught or blocking results in the immediate
stop of the rotating insertion tool.
This accelerates the uncontrolled power tool against
the rotary direction of the insertion tool.
lf for example a grinding disk gets caught or blocks
in the work piece, the edge of the grinding disk which
penetrates the work piece may get caught, the grinding
disk will make a sudden movement or cause a kick-
back. As a result, the grinding disk moves towards the
operator or away from the operator, depending on the
rotary direction of the disk when it blocks. This may
also cause the fracture of grinding disks.
Kickbacks are the result of the improper or incorrect
use of power tools. Kickbacks can be avoided when
observing the following precautionary measures.
a)
Hold the power tool firmly in your hands and bring
your body and arms in a position which allows
you to adequately react to kickback forces. Al-
ways use the additional handle, if available. This
ensures you the utmost control of kickback forces
or reaction torques when starting your power tool.
When taking appropriate precautions, the oper-
ator is in the position to control kickback and re-
action forces.
b)
Keep your hands away from rotating insertion
tools. The insertion tool may move over your hand
in the event of a kickback.
c)
Keep your body away from the area where the
power tool may move in the event of a kickback.
Kickbacks always move the power tool in opposite
direction to the movement of the grinding disk at
the spot where it blocks.
d)
Corners, sharp edges, etc. must be processed
with special care. Make sure that the insertion tool
does not bounce back or get trapped on the work
piece. The rotating insertion tool tends to jam in
corners, at sharp edges or when it bounces back.
This may cause the loss of control or a kickback.
Additional safety notes regarding grinding with sand-
paper- Special safety notes regarding grinding with
sandpaper
a)
Do not use oversized abrasive sheets; always ob-
serve the manufacturer's specifications for abra-
sive sheet dimensions. Abrasive sheets protrud-
ing the grinding plate may cause injury or result in
the blocking or tearing apart of the abrasive sheet
or in kickbacks.
