Safety notices specific to the device Safety notices specific to the device
support the grinding disc, thus reducing the risk
of the grinding disc breaking.
f) Do not use worn grinding discs from
larger power tools.
Grinding discs for larger
power tools are not designed for the higher
speeds of smaller power tools and may break.
g) The outside diameter and thickness of
the tool being used must correspond
with the specifications of the power
tool.
Incorrectly sized tools cannot be ade-
quately shielded or controlled.
h)
Grinding discs and flanges must pre-
cisely fit the grinding spindle of your
power tool.
Tools which do not accurately
fit the grinding spindle of your power tool will
rotate unevenly, vibrate severely and can result
in loss of control.
i)
Do not use damaged grinding discs.
Check the grinding discs for chips and
tears before every use. If the power
tool or the grinding disc is dropped,
check for damage or use an intact
grinding disc.
If you have checked and
used the grinding disc, you and nearby
persons must stay away from the area
of the rotating grinding disc and allow
the device to run at maximum speed
for a minute.
Damaged grinding discs will
typically break during this test period.
j)
Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on the application, wear
full face protection, eye protection or
safety goggles. Where appropriate,
wear a dust mask, ear protection, pro-
tective gloves or a special apron to
deflect small grinding and material par-
ticles.
Protect the eyes from foreign objects
flying about during various applications. Dust- or
respirator masks must filter out the dust creating
during use. Exposure to loud noise for extended
periods can result in hearing loss.
k) Be sure other persons keep a safe dis-
tance to your work area. Anybody
entering the work area must wear per-
sonal protective equipment.
Fragments
of the work piece or of broken tools can fly
about and cause injuring, including outside
the immediate work area.
I) Only hold he device by the insulated
handles when performing work where
the tool used may strike hidden elec-
trical lines or the tool‘s mains cable.
Contact with a live wire can also charge metal
parts of the device, resulting in electric shock.
m) Keep the mains cable away from ro-
tating tools.
Losing control of the device can
result in the mains cable being cut or caught,
pulling your hand or arm into the rotating tool.
n)
Never put down the power tool before
the tool has come to a complete stop.
The rotating tool can come into contact with the
working surface, resulting in a loss of control
over the power tool.
o)
Do not run the power tool whilst carry-
ing it.
Clothing may get caught in the rotating
tool due to accidental contact and the tool pierce
your body.
p) Regularly clean the ventilation louvres
on the power tool.
The motor fan will suck
dust into the housing, and a high accumulation
of metal dust can result in electrical hazards.
q) Do not use the power tool near flam-
mable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
r)
Do not use tools requiring liquid cool-
ants.
Using water or other liquid coolants can
result in electric shock.
Additional safety notices for
abrasive cutting
Kickback and corresponding safety notices
Kickback is the sudden reaction due to the rotating
grinding disc catching or seizing. Catching or seiz-
ing will result in the rotating tool stopping abruptly.
This will accelerate an out of control power tool
against the rotation of the tool in the area area
where it seized.
If e.g. a grinding disc is caught or seized in a work
piece, the edge of the grinding disc which plunges
into the work piece can become tangled, causing
the grinding disc to break off or in kickback. The
grinding disc will then move toward or away from
the operator, depending on the direction of rotation
