o) Do not use parts which require liquid coolants.
The use
of water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution
or electric shock.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR KICKBACK
Kickback is a sudden reaction to snags, catches or entangle-
ments in the bearings which support the brush or in any other
parts. The jammed or entangled item causes a rapid blockage
of the movement of the part, which in turn forces the power
tool out of control, opposing the direction of movement of the
part at the point of blockage.
Kickback is the result of misuse of the power tool or of incorrect
procedures or conditions of usage, and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as specified below.
a) Firmly grasp the power tool and hold your arms and body
in a position to resist the force of the kickback. Always
use the auxiliary handgrip, if present, to have maximum
control over kickback or torque reaction during start-up.
The operator can control torque reactions and kickbacks if
the appropriate precautions have been taken.
b) Never put your hands near the rotating part
– kickback
from the part can cause injury to your hand.
c) Do not place yourself in the area towards which the power
tool will move in case of kickback.
The backlash will push
the tool in the opposite direction to that of the movement of
the part in use at the moment of entanglement.
d) Take particular care when working on corners, sharp
edges, etc. Avoid making the part jump or catch.
Corners,
sharp edges or jumps have a tendency to trap the rotating
part and cause loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not connect the blade of a chainsaw for woodwork, or
the blade of a toothed saw to the power tool.
Such blades
cause frequent kickback and loss of control.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR SANDING WORK
Do not use sandpaper which is bigger than the sanding discs.
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations when choosing
sandpaper
. A sheet of sandpaper larger than and extending
beyond the size of the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard
and can become tangled, causing a tear in the disc or kickback.
SAFETY WARNINGS
FOR BUFFING AND POLISHING
Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing cuff part
or the wires to turn freely. Secure or cut every loose wire
attachment.
Loose wires can twist and tangle around your
fingers or get stuck in the workpiece.
SECURITY WARNINGS FOR
METAL POLISHING
a) Note that the brush, even during normal operation, emits
metal bristles.
Do not apply excessive force to the wires by applying
excessive weight on the brush.
The wire bristles can easily
penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b) If it is recommended to use protective equipment for wire
brushing, do not allow this to interfere with the metal wire
disc or the wire brush in any way.
The metal wire disc or
the brush may expand in diameter due to workload and
centrifugal forces.
SAFETY WARNINGS
FOR NOISE AND VIBRATIONS
The level of noise and vibrations shown on the attached sheet
are average values for the use of the power tool. The use of
different attachments, different materials, different processes
such as cutting or wire brushing and the lack of tool main-
tenance all have significant influence on noise and vibration.
Therefore, adopt all the preventive measures necessary to
eliminate any possible damage due to loud noises and strain
from vibrations; wear ear phones, anti-vibration gloves, take
breaks while working and ensure the power tool and its ac-
cessory are kept efficient at all times.
REMAINING RISKS
These illustrations show the main risks involved with using
the machine.
Read the machine instruction manual carefully.
Material and sparks flying
towards the operator’s eyes
and body. Use eye protection
and an anti-dust mask.
Loud noise generated while
working. Use ear protection.
Risk of cutting and abra-
sion. Keep safety distance
from the working area, the
abrasive elements, and do
not touch any of the moving
parts. Always wear protective
gloves.
Risk of high vibrations. Wear
anti-vibration gloves. Take
regular breaks while working.
