b)
The guard must be securely attached
to the power tool and positioned for
maximum safety, so the least amount of
wheel is exposed towards the operator.
The guard helps to protect the operator
from broken wheel fragments, accidental
contact with wheel and sparks that could
ignite clothing.
c)
Wheels must be used only for
recommended applications. For example:
do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel.
Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for
peripheral grinding, side forces applied to
these wheels may cause them to shatter.
d)
Always use undamaged wheel flanges
that are of correct size and shape for
your selected wheel.
Proper wheel
flanges support the wheel thus reducing
the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges
for cut-off wheels may be different from
grinding wheel flanges.
e)
Do not use worn down wheels from larger
power tools.
Wheel intended for larger
power tool is not suitable for the higher
speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
Additional Safety Warnings Specific for Abrasive
Cutting-Off Operations:
a)
Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply
excessive pressure. Do not attempt
to make an excessive depth of cut.
Overstressing the wheel increases the
loading and susceptibility to twisting or
binding of the wheel in the cut and the
possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
b)
Do not position your body in line with
and behind the rotating wheel.
When the
wheel, at the point of operation, is moving
away from your body, the possible kickback
may propel the spinning wheel and the
power tool directly at you.
c)
When wheel is binding 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 otherwise kickback
may occur.
Investigate and take corrective
action to eliminate the cause of wheel
binding.
d )
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.
e)
Support panels or any oversized
workpiece 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.
f)
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.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR WIRE
BRUSHING OPERATIONS:
a)
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by
the brush even during ordinary operation.
Do not overstress the wires
by applying
excessive load to the brush. The wire
bristles can easily penetrate light clothing
and/or skin.
b)
If the use of a guard is recommended
for wire brushing, do not allow any
interference of the wire wheel or brush
with the guard.
Wire wheel or brush may
expand in diameter due to work load and
centrifugal forces.
LABEL ON TOOL
The following symbols are shown on the tool:
:
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury,
the user must read the instruction manual.
Wear eye protection.
The tool is double insulated; therefore
no earth wire is required. Always check
that power supply corresponds to the
voltage on the rating plate.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer or an
authorised Stanley Service Center in order to
avoid a hazard.
