cordless grinder PMTS 01-12V
•
The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of your
power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately guarded or controlled.
•
Abrasive wheels, abrasive rolls or other accessories
must fit exactly on the grinder spindle or collet chuck
of your power tool.
Accessories that do not precisely
match the holder of the power tool will run out of balance,
vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
•
Wheels, abrasive cylinders, cutting tools or other
accessories mounted on a mandrel must be fully
inserted into the collet chuck or jaw chuck. The
“protrusion” or the exposed part of the mandrel
between the abrasive accessory and the collet chuck
or jaw chuck must be minimal.
If the mandrel is not
sufficiently tensioned or the abrasive accessory protrudes
too far forward, the accessory may become loose and be
ejected at high speed.
•
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use
inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for
chips and cracks, abrasive rolls for cracks, tear or
excess wear, wire brushes for loose or cracked wires.
If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for
damage or install an undamaged accessory. After
inspecting and installing an accessory, position
yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the
rotating accessory and run the power tool at maximum
no-load speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories will
normally break apart during this test time.
•
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of
stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments.
The
eye protection must be capable of stopping 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.
•
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.
•
Only hold the power tool by its insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation where the
accessory may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting
accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
•
Always hold onto the power tool firmly when starting
it.
When running up to full speed, the reaction torque of
the motor can cause the power tool to twist.
•
If possible, use clamps to hold the workpiece in place.
Never hold a small workpiece in one hand and the
power tool in the other while using it.
Tightly clamping
small workpieces allows you to have both hands free and
to have better control of the power tool. When removing
round workpieces such as wooden dowels, bar stock or
pipes, they tend to roll away, causing the accessory to jam
and be catapulted towards you.
•
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.
•
After changing accessories or making adjustments to
the device, firmly tighten the collet chuck nut, the jaw
chuck or other fixing elements.
Loose fixing elements
can shift unexpectedly and cause loss of control; and
rotating components that are not attached will be forcefully
ejected.
•
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your
side.
Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could
snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
•
Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents.
The motor’s
fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive
accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical
hazards.
•
Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
•
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water
or
other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
Kickback and Related Warnings
A kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
rotating wheel, abrasive wheel, abrasive belt, brush or any other
accessory. Pinching or jamming causes rapid stalling of the
rotating accessory. This will accelerate an uncontrolled power
tool towards the direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the
workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch
point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel
to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or
away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel’s
movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also
break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions. Kickback can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below.
