4) Special Safety Instructions
4.1 Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding
and Polishing Operations:
a)
This power tool is generally to function as a polis-
her and sander. Especially also as a drive unit for the
Eisenblätter polishing-, cleaning and FIX system. Read
all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and speci-
fications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
b)
This electric power tool is not suitable for grinding,
wire brushing and cutting-off operations.
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 ade-
quately guarded or controlled.
f)
Treaded 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 a power
tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or
install an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and
installing an accessory, position yourself and bystan-
ders 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.
h)
Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face shield, safety gog-
gles 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 respi-
rator 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 per-
sonal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or
of a broken tool may fly away and cause injury beyond
immediate area of operation.
j)
Hold power tool with insulated gripping surfaces
only, when performing an operation where the cutting
tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting
tool contacting a „live“ wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool „live“ and shock the operator.
k)
Position the cord clear of the spinning tool.
If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and
your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning tool.
I)
Never lay the power tool down until the tool has
come to a complete stop.
The spinning tool may grab
the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
m)
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your
side.
Accidental contact with the spinning tool could
snag your clothing, pulling the tool into your body.
n)
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.
o)
Do not operate the power tool near flammable mate-
rials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
p)
Do not use tools that require liquid coolants.
Using
water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution
or shock.
