Noise And Vibration - Flex PE 150 18.0-EC User Manual

Do not operate the power tool near flam-

mable 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:
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or
any other accessory. Pinching or snagging
causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory
which in turn causes the uncontrolled power
tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the
accessory's rotation at the point of the
binding.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 and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below.
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool

and position your body and arm to allow
you to resist kickback forces.
Always use auxiliary handle, if provided,
for maximum control over kickback
or torque reaction during start-up.
The operator can control torque reactions
or kickback forces, if proper precautions
are taken.
Never place your hand near the rotating

accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
Do not position your body in the area

where power tool will move if kickback
occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in direction
opposite to the wheel's movement at the
point of snagging.
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.

Safety Warnings Specific for
Polishing Operations:
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.
Additional safety instructions
Do not press the spindle lock until the tool

stops.

Noise and vibration

The noise and vibration values have been
determined in accordance with EN 62841.
The A evaluated noise level of the power
tool is typically:
– Sound pressure level L
– Sound power level L
– Uncertainty:
Total vibration value (when polishing
painted surfaces):
– Emission value a
– Uncertainty:
CAUTION!
The indicated measurements refer to new
power tools. Daily use causes the noise and
vibration values to change.
NOTE
The vibration emission level given in this infor-
mation sheet has been measured in accordance
with a standardised test given in EN 62841 and
may be used to compare one tool with another.
It may be used for a preliminary assessment
of exposure. The declared vibration emission
level represents the main applications of the
tool. However if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or poorly
maintained, the vibration emission may differ.
This may significantly increase the exposure
level over the total working period.
For a precise estimation of the vibration load
the times should also be considered during
which the power tool is switched off or even
running, but not actually in use.
This may significantly decrease the exposure
level over the total working period.
