Do not use damaged accessories. Before using the tool, you should always
inspect the accessory and check for example that grinding discs do not have
damaged edges, that there are no cracks or wear to the backing pad and that
the steel brush does not have any loose or damaged bristles. If you drop the
power tool or an accessory, check that it is not damaged, or fit an undamaged
accessory. After you have inspected and installed an accessory, you should
position yourself and other people in the vicinity away from the direction of the
rotating accessory then run the tool at its maximum no-load speed for one
minute. Damaged accessories will normally break during this test period.
•
Wear safety equipment. Depending on the area of use, you should wear a
visor, goggles or safety glasses. Where appropriate, you should wear a dust
mask, ear protection, gloves and overalls that can stop shavings and fragments
from the workpiece. The eye protection must be able to stop flying waste
generated by various uses of the machine. The dust or breathing mask must be
able to filter out the particles generated when you use the machine. Prolonged
exposure to intense noise can cause hearing impairment.
•
Keep onlookers at a safe distance from the work area. Everyone coming into
the work area must wear personal safety equipment. Fragments from the
workpiece, or from a defective accessory, can be ejected and cause injury even
outside the actual work area.
•
Hold only the insulated grips when you use the tool if you could come into
contact with hidden wiring or the power cord to the tool. When cutting
accessories come into contact with a live wire, unprotected metal parts on the
tool may become charged and give the user an electric shock.
•
Position the power cord so that it does not come into contact with the rotating
accessory. If you lose control, the power cord can be cut or get stuck, and your
hand or arm could be pulled into the rotating accessory.
•
Never put down the power tool until the accessory has completely stopped. The
rotating accessory can catch in the surface and cause you to lose control of the
power tool.
•
Do not run the tool while carrying it next to you. Unintentional contact with the
rotating accessory can cause it to catch in your clothes and pull it towards your
body.
•
Clean the ventilation grills on the tool regularly. The motor fan sucks dust into
the casing of the machine and an accumulation of metal powder may cause
an electrical hazard.
•
Do not use the power tool in the vicinity of flammable materials. Sparks can
ignite these materials.
•
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. The use of water or other
liquid coolants may cause electric shocks.
