Instruction manual

The eye protection must be capable of stop-
ping 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.
(i) 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.
(j) Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting 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.
(k) 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.
(l) 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.
(m) Do not run the power tool while carrying it
at your side. Accidental contact with the
spinning accessory could snag your clo-thing,
pulling the accessory into your body.
(n) Regularly clean the power tool's air vents.
The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the
housing and excessive accumula-tion of
powdered metal may cause electrical
hazards.
(o) Do not operate the power tool near flam-
mable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
(p) Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants
may result result in electrocution or shock.
2. Related Warnings
(a) Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory. Accessory may kickback over
your hand.
(b) Use special care when working corners,
sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and
snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp
edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag
the rotating accessory and cause loss of
control or kickback. This causes a loss of
control or kickback.
(c) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving
blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades
create frequent kickback and loss of control.
3. Special safety instructions for
polishing
(a) Do not allow any loose portion of the
polishing bonnet or its attachment strings
to spin freely. Tuck away or trim any loose
attachment strings.
Loose and spinning attachment strings
can entangle your fingers or snag on the
workpiece.
4. Additional Warnings
(a) The mains voltage and the voltage
specifications on the rating plate must
correspond.
(b) Do not press the spindle lock until the tool
stops.
(c) Only FLEX AUTHORIZED SERVICE
CENTER should disassemble or assemble
this power tool, and only genuine FLEX
replacement parts should be installed.
(d) Clean the exterior of the power tool only
with a soft cloth moistened with soapy water,
and dry thoroughly.
(e) Never use solvents, gasoline or thinners
on plastic components; otherwise the plastic
may dissolve.
(f) Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
–
Lead from lead-based paints.
–
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and
other masonry products.
–
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
