if every moving parts are rotating
properly, without abnormal noises nor
sparks;
� Check if the safety devices are
in perfect conditions and working
correctly. Never use the machine if
any safety device is missing, inhibited,
damaged or worn;
� If the button is damaged or doesn’t
allow to control the machine’s operation,
it must be repaired or replaced in order
to prevent an unintentional start;
Perform all the needed adjustments
and in case of doubts ask your
distributor for assistance.
2.4 - WHILE OPERATING
Keep other people away from
the workspace. Never use the
machine if animals or people,
particularly children, are nearby.
Keep the workspace clean, organized
and well illuminated (brightness from
250 to 300 lux), in order to reduce
the risk of accidents.
Always wear personal protective
equipment. Using protection glasses,
a P2 protection mask, ear protection,
non-slip safety footwear, gloves and
helmet under proper conditions,
reduces the risk of injury.
The clothing worn while operating
the machine must be appropriate and
tight, such as a work coverall. Do not
wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep
hair, clothing and gloves away from the
moving parts.
The control and safety devices installed
in the machine must not be removed or
inhibited.
To avoid the risk of accidents, the
following precautions must be
considered:
� The rotating accessories’ rated speed
shall be, at least, equal to the maximum
speed indicated in the technical
specifications of the machine;
� When using the machine, place
yourself in a stable position and well
balanced. Hold the equipment firmly
with both hands to ensure a continuous
operation and to withstand unexpected
situations, such as a kickback;
The kickback is a sudden reaction
that happens when the machine is
switched on and the rotating accessory
gets stuck or is pressed. The kickback
causes an instantly reversing movement
of the equipment.
The kickback occurs due to an
incorrect use of the machine or due to
a not proper working procedure which
can cause serious injuries to the user.
To avoid the kickback, the following
precautions must be considered:
- Place and keep the rotating accessory
in the right position and well tightened;
- Do not place yourself in the area
where the machine will move in case of
a kickback;
When the rotating accessory gets
stuck, switch off the machine.
� Never place your hands near the
rotating accessory once it may revert
over them. Keep your hands away from
the rotating accessories;
� Make sure that the ventilation grids
are not blocked while operating the
machine. Do not place any objects over
the grids;
� The drills and the machine itself may
get hot during the work. Any accidental
contact may burn;
� Make sure that you don’t damage the
electrical circuits, gas and water pipes
when operating the equipment. Any
of these damages may cause fires,
explosions, electrical shocks or several
expensive losses;
� Avoid using the machine on surfaces
coated with paints containing lead or
other materials harmful to health. Any
contact or inhalation of dust may cause
allergic reactions and / or breathing
diseases. Wear a mask and work with
a dust extraction device if the machine
allows it.
� Materials containing asbestos cannot
be worked. Asbestos is carcinogenic.
