General safety advice for electrical power tools
d)
Do not switch on the device if the cut-
ting disc is in the workpiece.
Allow the
cutting disc to reach full speed before carefully
continuing with the cut. Otherwise the disc
could snag, jump out of the workpiece or
cause a kickback.
e)
Support boards or workpieces whilst
cutting to reduce the risk of kickback
caused by a jammed cutting disc.
Large
workpieces may bend under their own weight.
The workpiece must be supported to both sides
of the cutting disc and particularly near the
cutting disc and at the workpiece edge.
f)
Be particularly careful when pocket
cutting in existing walls or other areas
where you cannot see what you are
cutting into.
The cutting disc plunged into
the surface could cut through gas or water
pipes, electricity cables or other objects and
cause kickback.
Special safety advice for
abrading using sandpaper
Do not use over-sized sanding sheets.
Follow the manufacturer’s recommen-
dations for sanding sheet size.
Sanding
sheets that project beyond the backing pad
could cause injury in addition to jamming, tear-
ing of the sheet or kickback.
Special safety
advice for polishing
Do not use the polishing bonnet if it
has any loose parts, in particular the
fastening cords.
Tuck the fastening cords
away or trim them. Loose fastening cords rotat-
ing with the attachment could catch your fingers
or become trapped in the workpiece.
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)
Use a guard, if recommended, but
make sure that the wire brush does
not come into contact with the guard.
The diameters of disc brushes and cup brushes
can increase due to contact pressure and cen-
tripetal forces.
Safety advice for
angle grinders
Do not operate the device if the mains
lead or mains plug is damaged.
Do not touch the mains lead if it be-
comes damaged or cut through while
you are using the device.
Pull the plug
out of the mains socket immediately and have
the device repaired by a suitably qualified
person or at your service centre.
Do not operate the device if it is damp
and do not use it in a damp environment.
If you use the device outdoors, always
connect it through a residual current
device (RCD) with a maximum trip cur-
rent of 30 mA.
If using an extension lead,
always use one that is approved for outdoor use.
Do not suspend or carry the device by
the mains lead. Always work with the
mains lead leading away from the
rear of the device.
Grinding discs must be carefully kept
and handled in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Make sure that abrasive consumables
and tools are attached in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions
and advice.
Ensure that any spacers supplied and
required for the use of certain abrasive
consumables and tools are installed.
