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.
3.7 Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing Operations:
a)
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even during ordinary operation. Do not
overstress the wires by applying excessive load to the brush.
The wire bristles can easily penetrate light
clothing and/or skin.
b)
If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing, do not allow any interference of the wire
wheel or brush with the guard.
Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter due to work load and centrifugal
forces.
3.8 Additional Safety Instructions: WARNING
– Always wear protective goggles.
Use only accessories that are covered by at least 3.4 mm by the safety guard.
Use elastic cushioning layers if they have been supplied with the grinding media and
if required.
Observe the specifications of the tool or accessory manufacturer! Protect the discs
from grease or impacts!
Grinding discs must be stored and handled with care in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Never use cutting discs for roughing work! Do not apply pressure to the side of the cutting discs.
The workpiece must lay flat and be secured against slipping, e.g. using clamps. Large workpieces must be
sufficiently supported.
If accessories with threaded inserts are used, the end of the spindle may not touch the base of the hole on
the grinding tool. Make sure that the thread in the accessory is long enough to accommodate the full length of
the spindle. The thread in the accessory must match the thread on the spindle.
Use of a fixed extractor system is recommended. Always install an RCD with a max. trip current of 30 mA
upstream. If the angle grinder is shut down via the RCD, it must be checked and cleaned.
Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools must not be used.
Avoid damage to gas or water pipes, electrical cables and load-bearing walls (static).
Pull the plug out of the socket before making any adjustments, converting or servicing the machine.
When the safety clutch responds, switch off the machine immediately!
A damaged or cracked side handle must be replaced. Never operate a machine with a defective side handle.
A damaged or cracked safety guard must be replaced. Never operate a machine with a defective safety guard.
Secure small workpieces. For example, clamp in a vice.
Additional Warnings:
California Prop 65 08_2018
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
•
Lead from lead-based paints,
•
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
•
Arsenic and chromium from chemicallytreated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
