Safety Warnings Specific For Sanding Operations - Metabo WPB 36 LTX BL 230 Instrucciones De Manejo

en ENGLISH
attempt to remove the cutting disc from the cut
while the disc is in motion otherwise kickback
may occur. Investigate and take corrective action
to eliminate the cause of disc binding.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the
workpiece. Let the cutting disc 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 minimize the risk of cutting disc 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 cutting disc may cut gas or water pipes,
electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
3.5 Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding
Operations:
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding
disc paper. Follow manufacturers
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.
3.6 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 a 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 work load
and centrifugal forces.
3.7 Additional Safety Instructions:
WARNING – Always wear protective
goggles.
Use elastic cushioning layers if they have been
supplied with the grinding media and if required.
Observe the specifications of the tool or accessory
manufacturer! Protect the discs from grease or
impact!
Grinding wheels must be stored and handled with
care in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
Never use parting grinder discs for roughing work!
Do not apply pressure to the side of parting grinder
discs.
The workpiece must lay flat and be secured against
slipping, e.g. using clamps. Large workpieces must
be sufficiently supported.
If accessories with threaded inserts are used, the
end of the spindle may not touch the base of the
hole on the sanding tool. Make sure that the thread
8
in the accessory is long enough to accommodate
the full length of the spindle. The thread in the
accessory must match the thread on the spindle.
See page 2 and chapter 14. Technical
Specifications for more information on the spindle
length and thread.
When working in dusty conditions, ensure that
ventilation openings are not blocked. If it becomes
necessary to remove dust, first remove the battery
pack (use non-metallic objects) and avoid
damaging internal components.
Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools must not be
used.
Avoid damage to gas or water pipes, electrical
cables and load-bearing walls (static).
Remove the battery pack from the machine before
making any adjustments, changing tools,
maintaining or cleaning.
Make sure that the tool is switched off before fitting
the battery pack.
A damaged or cracked additional handle must be
replaced. Never operate the machine with a
defective side handle.
A damaged or cracked safety guard must be
replaced. Never operate a machine with a defective
safety guard.
Secure small workpieces. For example, clamp in a
vice.
Additional Warnings:
Some dust created by power
WARNING
sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemicallytreated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
3.8 Safety instructions for battery packs:
Protect battery packs from water and
moisture!
Do not expose battery packs to naked flame!
Do not use faulty or deformed battery packs!
Do not open battery packs!
Do not touch or short circuit battery pack contacts!
A slightly acidic, flammable fluid may leak
from defective Li-ion battery packs!
