Service
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 Warnings common for Sanding, Wire Brushing,
polishing, carving Or abrasive cutting-Off Operations
1.
this power tool is intended to function
as a sander, wire brush, polisher, carving
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.
2.
Operations such as grinding 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.
3.
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.
4.
the ratED SpEED of the accessories
must be at least equal to the operating
speed setting marked on the power tool.
Accessories running faster than their
RATED SPEED can break and fly apart.
5.
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 controlled.
6.
the arbour size of wheels, sanding drums
or any other accessory must properly fit the
spindle or collet of the power tool.
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.
7.
Mandrel MOuntED WHEELS, sanding drums,
cutters or other accessories must be fully
inserted into the collet or chuck.
If the mandrel
is insufficiently held and/or the overhang of the
wheel is too long, the MOUNTED WHEEL may
become loose and be ejected at high velocity.
8.
Do not use a damaged accessory.
Before each
use inspect the accessory such as abrasive
wheels for chips and cracks, sanding drum 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 minute. Damaged accessories
will normally break apart during this test time.
9.
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.
10.
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.
11.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting
accessory contacting a “live” wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and
could give the operator an electric shock.
12.
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.
13.
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.
14.
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.
