5. Special safety instructions
5.1 General Safety Recommendations for grinding,
sanding, wire brushing, polishing
and cutting-off operations:
•
This power tool is intended to function as a
grinder, sander, wire brush or cut-off tool. Read
all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and
specifications provided with this power
tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
•
Operations such as polishing are not
recommended to be performed with this power
tool.
Operations for which the power tool was
not designed may create a hazard and cause
personal injury.
•
Do not use accessories which are not
specifically
designed and recommended by
the tool
manufacturer.
Just because the accessory can
be attached to your power tool, it does not
assure safe operation.
•
The rated speed of the accessory must be at
least
equal to the maximum speed marked on
the power
tool.
Accessories running faster
than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
•
The outside diameter and the thickness of
your
accessory must be within the capacity
rating of
your power tool.
Incorrectly sized
accessories cannot be adequately guarded or
controlled.
•
Threaded mounting of accessories must match
the
sanding spindle thread. For accessories
mounted
by flanges, the arbour hole of the
accessory must
fit the locating diameter of the
flange.
Accessories that do not match the
mounting hardware of the power tool will run out
of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause
loss of control.
•
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use
inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for
chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or
excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked
wires. If a power tool or accessory is dropped,
inspect for
damage or install an undamaged
accessory. After
inspecting and installing an
accessory, position
yourself and bystanders away
from the plane of
the rotating accessory and run
the power tool at
maximum no-load speed for one
minute.
Damaged accessories will normally break
apart during this test time.
•
Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate,
wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves
and workshop apron capable of stopping small
abrasive or workpiece fragments.
The eye
protection must be capable of stopping flying
debris generated by various operations. The dust
mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating
particles generated by your operation. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity noise may cause
hearing loss.
•
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work
area. Anyone entering the work area must wear
personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory
may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate
area of operation.
•
Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping
surfaces only when performing an operation
where
the accessory may contact hidden wiring or
its
own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a
„live“ wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool
„live“ and shock the operator.
•
Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory.
If you lose control, the cord may be cut or
snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into
the spinning accessory.
•
Never lay the power tool down until the accessory
has come to a complete stop.
The spinning
accessory may grab the surface and pull the
power tool out of your control.
•
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your
side.
Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.
