Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and Abrasive
Cutting-Off Operations
•
Only use abrasives approved for your power tool and
for the recommended applications. Example: do not
grind with the side of cut-off wheel.
Cutting discs are
designed for material removal using the edge of the disc.
Exerting force to the sides of these abrasives may break
them.
•
For conical and straight abrasive pencils with a thread,
only use undamaged mandrels of the correct size and
length without an undercut on the shoulder.
Suitable
mandrels reduce the risk of breakage.
•
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.
•
Do not position your hand in line with and behind the
rotating cutting wheel.
When the wheel, at the point of
operation, is moving away from your hand, the possible
kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool
directly at you.
•
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.
•
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.
•
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.
•
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
•
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.
•
Let brushes run at operating speed for at least one
minute before starting work. Make sure that during
this time no other person is standing in line with the
brush.
During the start-up time, loose wire bristles may
fly.
•
Direct the rotating wire brush away from yourself.
When working with these brushes, small particles and tiny
bits of wire may fly at high speed and penetrate the skin.
Additional safety instructions for portable table
sanders
•
Before every application, ensure that the sanding discs
are free from defects.
Also carry out a ring test for
detecting cracks. To do so, lightly strike the disc on the
right-hand and left-hand side from the vertical centre line
using a non-metallic hammer. The light striking should
produce a bright, bell-like sound. Do not use the disc if the
sound is dull.
•
Adjust the spark deflectors at regular intervals in order
to compensate for wear of the disc, keeping the
distance between the spark deflector and the disc as
small as possible and in no case letting it exceed
2 mm.
Replace the sanding disc if the spark deflector can no
longer be adjusted to the distance required.
•
Only use the power tool with accessories that are mounted
on both spindles. In this way, contact with the rotating
spindle is prevented.
•
Always use the protective cover, the workpiece support,
the protective screens and the spark deflectors as required
by the accessory.
•
Replace damaged or strongly furrowed sanding discs.
•
When transporting the table sander, lift it at the housing or
at the two protective covers.
•
Adjust the workpiece supports so that the angle between
the workpiece support and the accessory is always greater
than 85°.
•
Only use sanding discs with a thickness of 20 mm and a
hole diameter of 10 mm.
•
Always provide for stable and secure conditions for the
table sander when you mount it on a workbench or a
similar surface.
•
Ensure that the grinding functions are carried out safely.
