4) Operation and maintenance of power tools
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct tool for the
task being performed.
The appropriate power tool allows
you to perform the work with the greatest efficiency and
safety without straining to exceed the purposes for which
the tool is designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn on
and off properly.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled
by its switch is dangerous and must be repaired before use.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power supply and/or from
the power tool battery unit before any adjustment, replace
the accessories or store the power tools.
These preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d) Store unused power tools out of reach of children and
do not allow them to be used by any unskilled people or
who are not aware of these instructions.
Power tools are
dangerous if used by unskilled people.
e) Carry out the required maintenance on power tools.
Check any possible misalignment or locking of the moving
parts, any breakage of the parts and any other condition
that may affect the operation of power tools. If there is
any damage, the power tool must be fixed before use.
Numerous accidents are caused by improper maintenance
of power tools.
f) Use the power tool, accessories and abrasive parts, etc.
according to these instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the operation to be performed.
The use of the power tool for operations other than those
for which it is intended may cause dangerous situations.
g) Maintain a safe distance from moving parts.
Touching
moving parts causes serious injury.
h) Do not modify the power tool.
Taking off, replacing or
adding components not included in the instructions is
prohibited and causes the warranty to become null and void.
i) Do not leave the power tool switched on.
Turn it off before
leaving it unattended in order to prevent any accidents.
l) The power tool must never come into contact with water
or other liquids.
Use under these conditions may result in
electric shock.
5) Service
a) Only allow qualified technicians to perform maintenance
on the power tools, using only original spare parts.
This
will help to ensure the safety of the power tool.
b) Do not attempt to repair the power tool or to access
internal parts.
Repairs carried out by persons unqualified
and unauthorised by the manufacturer can create serious
hazards and void the warranty.
c) Request only original spare parts.
The use of non-original
spare parts may compromise the safety of the power tool.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR ALL OPERATIONS
Safety warnings apply equally to sanding, wire brushing and
polishing:
a) This power tool is intended to function as a sander,
metallic wire brush and polishing machine.
IMPORTANT! DO NOT USE FOR GRINDING OR CUTTING
DISCS. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustra-
tions and specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire, and/or a serious accident.
b) Do not use attachments which are not specifically made
or recommended by the tool manufacturer.
The mere
fact that a part may be attached to the power tool does not
guarantee safe operation.
c) The rated speed of the part must be at least equal to the
maximum speed indicated on the power tool.
The parts,
if made to run at a speed higher than specified, may break
and be thrown into the air.
d) The outside/inside diameter and thickness of your part
must be adapted to the characteristics of the capacity
of your power tool.
Parts which are not the correct size
cannot be adequately protected or controlled.
e) The shape of the backing pad, brushes, pillows or support
of any other part must properly fit the spindle of the power
tool.
Parts with shaft holes that do not match the mounting
hardware on the power tool will not remain in balance, will
vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
f) Do not use a damaged part. Before each use, examine
parts, locate the bearing to check for any traces of tears,
tears from excessive wear, as well as using a wire brush
to remove loose or broken wires. If the power tool or part
has been dropped, examine for signs of damage or install
an undamaged part. After checking and installing a part,
distance yourself and any others present from the scope
of the rotating part and run the power tool at maximum
no-load speed for one minute.
The damaged parts will
normally break during this trial.
g) Always wear personal protective equipment. Depending
on the application, use a face shield, mask or goggles.
Depending on the task, wear a dust mask, hearing pro-
tectors, gloves and an apron to guard against abrasive
fragments while working.
Eye protection must be able to
protect against flying debris produced by different opera-
tions. The dust mask or respirator should be able to filter
the particles produced from your work. Prolonged exposure
to high noise levels can cause hearing loss.
h) Keep people at a safe distance from the work area. Anyo-
ne entering the work area must wear personal protective
equipment.
Fragments of the workpiece or broken parts
may fly off and cause injury in the immediate vicinity of
the work area.
i) Hold the tool only by the insulated gripping surfaces,
while performing operations in which the cutting part
may be in contact with hidden wiring, or with its own
cord.
Contact between the cutting attachment and a power
supply cord may also put a strain on the live exposed metal
parts of the power tool and cause an electric shock to the
operator of the tool.
j) Position the cord away from the rotating part.
If you lose
control of the tool, the cord can be cut or twisted and your
hand or arm may be pulled into the rotating part.
k) Never store the power tool until all of the parts have
completely stopped moving.
The rotating part can grip
the surface and draw the power tool out of your control.
l) Do not run the power tool while carrying it to the side.
Accidental contact with the moving part may lead to it
getting caught in your clothes and can entangle the moving
part.
m)Regularly clean the ventilation slots of the power tool.
The motor fan will draw dust inside the casing and an
excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause
electrical hazards.
n) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials.
Sparks could cause these materials to ignite.
