English
▶
Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct size and shape for your
selected wheel
. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility
of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel
flanges.
▶
Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools.
Wheel intended for larger
power tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
Additional safety warnings specific for abrasive cutting-off operations:
▶
Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to
make an excessive depth of cut.
Overstressing the wheel increases the loading
and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of
kickback or wheel breakage.
▶
Do not position your body in line with and behind the rotating wheel.
When the
wheel, at the point of operation, is moving away from your body, the possible kickback
may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
▶
When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off
the power tool and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a
complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while the
wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur.
Investigate and take corrective
action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
▶
Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel 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.
▶
Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel 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.
▶
Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut" into existing walls or other blind
areas.
The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects
that can cause kickback.
Safety warnings specific for sanding operations:
▶
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.
Safety warnings specific for wire brushing operations:
▶
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.
▶
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.
Safety warnings specific for polishing operations:
▶
Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing bonnet or its attachment strings
to spin freely. Tuck away or trim any loose attachment strings.
Loose and spinning
attachment strings can entangle your fingers or snag on the workpiece.
2.1.3 Additional safety instructions
