General safety advice for electrical power tools
General safety advice for electrical power tools
ticular type of device. In doing this, take
into account the working conditions
and the task in hand.
The use of electrical
power tools for purposes other than those in-
tended can lead to dangerous situations.
5. Service
a)
Have your device repaired at the ser-
vice centre or by qualified specialist
personnel using original manufacturer
parts only.
This will ensure that your device
remains safe to use.
Q
Safety advice for all uses
General safety advice for grinding,
sanding (with sandpaper), wire brushing,
polishing and disc-cutting:
a)
This electrical power tool is intended
for use as a grinding, sanding, wire-
brushing, and disc-cutting machine.
Observe all the safety advice, instruc-
tions, information in figures and all
other information you received with
this device.
If you do not observe the following
advice it could lead to electric shock, fire and /
or serious injury.
b) Normative statement / advice for this tool is not
applicable.
c)
Do not use any accessory not specifi-
cally intended by the manufacturer for
this electrical power tool.
Although an
accessory may fit on your electrical power tool,
this does not on its own guarantee that it can
be safely used.
d)
The maximum permitted speed of an
attachment must be at least as high as
the maximum speed indicated for the
electrical power tool.
An accessory rotating
faster than its permitted speed could disintegrate
or fly off.
e)
The external diameter and the thickness
of the attachment must be compatible
with the dimensions of your electrical
power tool.
Attachments that are not dimen-
sionally compatible cannot be adequately
guarded or controlled.
f)
Grinding discs, flanges, grinding
wheels or other accessories must fit
exactly on to the spindle of your elec-
trical power tool.
Attachments that do not
exactly fit on the spindle turn unevenly, vibrate
severely and could lead to loss of control.
g)
Do not use damaged attachments.
Before every use check attachments
such as grinding discs for loose frag-
ments and cracks, grinding wheels for
cracks, deterioration or excessive wear
and wire brushes for loose or broken
wires. If the electrical power tool or
attachment is dropped, inspect for
damage or change the attachment for
an undamaged one. When you have
inspected and inserted the attachment,
position yourself and bystanders away
from the plane of the rotating attach-
ment and run the device at maximum
speed for one minute.
Damaged attach-
ments will usually break apart during this test.
h)
Wear personal protective
equipment. Use a full face vi-
sor, safety goggles or safety
glasses, depending on the application.
Wear a dust mask, hearing protectors,
safety gloves or special apron capable
of stopping particles of the grinding
medium or workpiece, as appropriate
for the task.
Eyes must be protected from the
flying debris which can arise from some opera-
tions. Dust or breathing masks must be capable
of filtering out the dust generated by the appli-
cation. Prolonged exposure to loud noise can
lead to hearing loss.
i)
Keep bystanders at a safe distance
from your work area. Anyone entering
the work area must wear personal
protective equipment.
Fragments of the
workpiece or of a broken attachment could fly
off and cause injury beyond the immediate
working area.
j)
Hold the device by the insulated han-
dle surfaces when you are undertak-
ing work where there is the danger
