PURPOSE OF USE
–
The air angle grinder can be used for the following purposes:
• smoothing surfaces
• removing burrs and/or scraps
• the grinder can also be used in open places exposed to water and air
–
The air angle grinder must not be used for the following operations:
• no grinding wheels or similar devices exceeding 50 mm in diameter may be used
• no cutting disc wheels or milling cutters may be used
• the grinder must not be used in environments containing potentially explosive atmospheres
• the trigger must not be locked with adhesive tape or clamps
WORK AREA SAFETY
–
Beware of both surfaces that may become slippery due to the use of the machine and the danger of tripping over the air hose.
–
While using the pneumatic tool for jobs performed high from the ground, take all necessary precautions, to eliminate or minimize
risk to other workers, following the accidental falling of any tools (for example, isolation of the work area and proper signs).
Do not operate the pneumatic tool in environments containing potentially explosive atmospheres, because sparks may be
generated, which can ignite the dust or fumes.
Avoid contact with live equipment, because the pneumatic tool is not insulated. Contact with live parts can cause electric shocks.
To find any hidden power supply lines, use suitable search tools or contact the local power supply company. Contact with electric
lines can cause fires and electric shocks. Damaging gas lines causes the risk of explosion. Penetrating a water pipe will result in
severe material damage.
Keep children and bystanders away from your workplace while operating the pneumatic tool. Distractions from other people can
cause you to lose control over the pneumatic tool.
PNEUMATIC TOOL SAFETY
–
Do not point the air flow to yourself or other people. Compressed air can cause serious injury.
–
Check the connections and the air supply lines. All units, couplers and hoses should conform to the product specifications in terms
of pressure and air volume. Too low pressure impairs the function of the pneumatic tool; too high pressure can cause damage
and/or injury.
–
Do not bend or tighten any hoses; avoid using solvents and sharp edges. Keep the hoses away from heat, oil and rotating parts.
Immediately replace any damaged hose. A defective feed pipe may cause uncontrolled movements of the compressed air pipe.
Raised dust or chips may cause eye injury. Make sure that the hose clamps are always secured firmly.
CAUTION
IT IS IMPORTANT TO READ THIS MANUAL THOROUGHLY BEFORE USING THE PNEUMATIC
TOOL. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE SAFETY STANDARDS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
