must be capable of filtering 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 personal protective equipment.
Fragments
of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away
and cause injury beyond immediate area of
operation.
j)
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade
or toothed saw blade.
k) Use only grinding media approved for your
guard. Grinding media for which the guard was not
designed cannot be adequately guarded and are
unsafe.
l)
The guard must be securely attached to the
power tool. Always direct the power tool so that
the wheel is not openly exposed to the
operator.
The guard helps to protect the operator
from broken fragments, accidental contact with the
grinding media and sparks which could ignite
clothing.
m)
Grinding media must be used only for
recommended applications.
3.2 Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding
with Diamond Cup Wheels:
d) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that
are the correct size and shape for your selected
accessories.
The correct flanges support the
accessories.
3.3 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 sanding disc paper
or kickback.
3.4 Additional Safety Instructions:
WARNING – Always wear protective
goggles.
Wear a suitable dust protection mask.
Do not use bonded discs.
Observe the specifications of the accessory
manufacturer! Protect the accessories from grease
and physical impact.
Accessories must be stored and handled with care
in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Secure small workpieces. For example, clamp in a
vice.
The workpiece must lay flat and be secured against
slipping, e.g. using clamps. Large workpieces must
be sufficiently supported.
Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools must not be
used.
Only use accessories that are surmounted by
brushes of the safety guard.
Ensure that the spot where you wish to work is
free
of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g.
using a metal detector).
Pull the plug out of the socket before making any
adjustments, converting or servicing the machine.
Read the operating instructions supplied with the
installed angle grinder.
Reduce dust exposure:
Some dust created by using this power tool
may contain chemicals known to cause
cancer, allergic reaction, respiratory disease, 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, Arsenic and
chromium from chemically-treated lumber, hard
wood like oak or beech, Asbestos.
The risk from these exposures depends on how
long you or bystanders are being exposed.
Do not let particles enter the body.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work
in a well ventilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
Observe the relevant guidelines for your material,
staff, application and place of application (e.g.
occupational health and safety regulations,
disposal).
Collect the generated particles at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Replace worn brushes (see chapter 8.), thus less
particles enter the environment in an uncontrolled
manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- Do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons
or on dust deposits.
- Use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers
- Ensure good ventilation of the workplace and
keep clean using a vacuum cleaner Sweeping or
blowing stirs up dust
- Vacuum or wash the protective clothing Do not
blow, beat or brush
