General safety advice for electrical power tools / Operation
General safety advice for electrical power tools
the wheel, at the point of operation, is moving
away from your hand, the possible kickback may
propel the spinning wheel and the power tool
directly at you.
e)
When wheel is pinched, snagged 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 other-
wise kickback may occur.
Investigate and
take corrective action to eliminate the cause of
wheel pinching or snagging.
f)
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.
g)
Support panels or any oversized work-
piece 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.
h)
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.
Special safety advice for
working with wire brushes
a)
Bear in mind that wire brushes lose
pieces of wire during normal use. Do
not overload the wires by applying too
much pressure.
Flying pieces of wire can very
easily penetrate thin clothing and / or skin.
b)
Allow brushes to run at operating speed
for at least one minute before using
them. During this time no one is to stand
in front or in line with the brush.
Loose
bristles or wires will be discharged during the
run-in time.
c)
Direct the discharge of the spinning wire
brush away from you.
Small particles and
tiny wire fragments may be discharged at high
velocity during the use of these brushes and
may become imbedded in your skin.
Q
Safety advice applicable specif-
ically to cordless multi-grinders
When you use the drill / grinder wear the fol-
lowing protective equipment: safety glasses
and protective gloves.
CAUTION! RISK OF INJURY!
The tool
continues to rotate after it has been switched
off! Avoid contact with rapidly rotating drill /
grinder components.
Securely support the work-
piece. Use clamps or a vice to grip the workpiece
firmly. This is much safer than holding it in your
hand.
RISK OF INJURY!
Never
support yourself by placing your hands near or
in front of the device or the workpiece surface.
A slip can result in injury.
DANGER OF FIRE FROM FLYING SPARKS!
Abrading metal creates flying sparks. For this
reason, always make sure that nobody is placed
in any danger and that there are no inflammable
materials near the working area.
DUST HAZARD!
Any
harmful / noxious dusts generated from machin-
ing represent a risk to the health of the person oper-
ating the device and to anyone near the work area.
Wear a dust mask!
NOXIOUS FUMES!
Ensure that there is adequate ventilation when
machining surfaces containing plastic or covered
with paint, varnish etc.
Its use as a saw or the use of saw blades with
this device is prohibited.
Do not soak the materials or the surface you are
about to work on with liquids containing solvents.
