b) This power tool is not suitable for sandpaper
sanding, working with a steel brush or
burnishing.
Using the power tool for applica-
tions for which it is not designed can lead to
hazards and injuries.
c) Do not use any accessories that have not been
specifically provided or recommended by the
manufacturer for this power tool.
Just because
you can attach the accessories to your power
tool does not guarantee they are safe to use.
d) The maximum speed of the accessory tool
used must be at least as high as the maximum
speed specified for the power tool.
Accessories
that rotate faster than the permissible rate can
break and throw pieces into the air.
e) The external diameter and thickness of the
accessory tool used must comply with the
dimensions of the power tool.
Incorrectly
dimensioned accessory tools cannot be suffi-
ciently shielded or controlled.
f) Attachment tools with a thread insert must
match the thread of the grinding spindle
exactly. For attachment tools that are
mounted using a flange, the diameter of the
hole on the attachment tool must correspond
to the width of the fitment on the flange.
Accessory tools that cannot be fitted precisely
onto the power tool will rotate unevenly, vibrate
severely and can lead to a loss of control.
g) Never use damaged attachment parts. Check
accessory tools such as grinding discs before
each use for chips or cracks, grinding plates
for cracks, wearing or excessive wear and
tear and wire brushes for loose or broken
wires. If the power tool or the accessory tool
in use is dropped, check to see if it is
damaged or use an undamaged accessory
tool. When you have checked and inserted
the accessory tool, ensure that you and any
other people in the vicinity remain outside of
the level of the rotating accessory tool and
allow the tool to rotate at maximum speed for
one minute.
Damaged accessories usually
break during the test period.
h) Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on the application, ensure that
you use full face protection, eye protection or
goggles. Use a dust mask, hearing protec-
tion, protective gloves or special apron to
protect yourself from grindings and material
particles as required.
Protect your eyes from
flying debris that may be created during certain
applications. Dust or filter masks must be used
to filter any dust created by the application. If
you are exposed to loud noise for any length
of time, you may suffer hearing loss.
i) Ensure that other people remain at a safe
distance from your workspace. Anyone who
enters the workspace must wear personal
protective equipment.
Fragments of the workpiece or broken acces-
sory tools can fly off and cause injury – even
outside the immediate working area.
j) Hold the power tool only by the insulated
handles when you are carrying out work in
which the accessory tool may come into
contact with concealed power cables.
Contact
with a live cable can also make metal parts of
the appliance live and could result in an electric
shock.
k) Keep the power cord away from any rotating
accessories.
If you lose control of the appli-
ance, the cord may get caught or cut and your
hand or arm could get caught in the rotating
accessory tool.
l) Never put the power tool down until the
accessory tool being used has come to a
complete standstill.
The rotating accessory tool
can come into contact with the surface and
cause you to lose control of the power tool.
m) Do not leave the power tool running whilst
carrying it.
Accidental contact between your
clothing and the rotating accessory tool could
lead to physical injury.
n) Clean the ventilation slits of your power tool
regularly.
The engine fan draws dust into the
housing and a strong accumulation of metal
dust can cause electrical hazards.
