f)
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.
3.5 Safety Warnings
Specific for Sanding
Operations:
a)
Do not use excessively oversized sanding
disc paper. Follow manufacturer's
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.
3.6 Only for WEVA 15-125 Quick: Safety
Warnings Specific for Polishing
Operations:
a)
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.
3.7 Safety Warnings Specific for Wire
Brushing Operations:
a)
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.
b)
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.
3.8 Additional safety instructions:
WARNING
– Always wear protective
goggles.
Use only accessories that
are covered by at least
3.4 mm by the safety guard.
Use elastic cushioning layers if they have been
supplied with the grinding media and if required.
Observe the specifications of the tool or accessory
manufacturer! Protect the discs from grease or
impacts!
Grinding discs must be stored and handled with
care in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
Never use cutting discs for roughing work! Do not
apply pressure to the side of the cutting discs.
The workpiece must lay flat and be secured against
slipping, e.g. using clamps. Large workpieces must
be sufficiently supported.
If accessories with threaded inserts are used, the
end of the spindle may not touch the base of the
hole on the grinding tool. Make sure that the thread
in the accessory is long enough to accommodate
the full length of the spindle. The thread in the
accessory must match the thread on the spindle.
See page 4 and chapter 13. Technical
Specifications for more information on the spindle
length and thread.
The use of a fixed extractor system is
recommended. Always install an RCD with a
maximum trip current of 30 mA upstream. If the
angle grinder is shut down via the RCD, it must be
checked and cleaned. See chapter 8. Cleaning.
Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools may not be
used.
Avoid damage to gas or water pipes, electrical
cables and load-bearing walls (static).
Pull the plug out of the socket before making any
adjustments, converting or servicing the machine.
Metabo S-automatic safety clutch. When the safety
clutch responds, switch off the machine
immediately!
A damaged or cracked additional handle must be
replaced. Never operate a machine with a defective
additional handle.
A damaged or cracked safety guard must be
replaced. Never operate a machine with a defective
safety guard.
Secure small workpieces. For example, clamp in a
vice.
Due to safety reasons, the nut with two holes (14)
must not be used for machines with the designation
W..
B
... Use the "Quick" adjusting nut (1).
Reduce dust exposure:
Particles generated when working with this
machine may contain substances that can
cause cancer, allergic reactions, respiratory
diseases, birth defects or other reproductive
defects. Some examples of such substances are,
lead (in paint containing lead), mineral dust (from
bricks, concrete etc.), additives used for wood
treatment (chromate, wood preservatives), some
wood types (such as oak or beech dust), metals,
asbestos.
The risk depends on for how long the user or nearby
persons are exposed to the substance.
Do not permit such particles to enter your body.
To reduce exposure to these substances ensure
good ventilation of the workplace and wear
appropriate protective equipment, such as
respirators designed to filter microscopically small
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.
Use suitable accessories for special work (see
chapter 10.), thus less particles enter the
environment in an uncontrolled manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
