Westfalia 98 66 87 Instruction Manual page 17

Wear personal protective equipment. If necessary and depending
on the application, wear full face protection, eye protection, or
safety goggles. If necessary, wear a dust mask, ear protection,
safety gloves or a safety apron which protect you from flying
fragments. The eyes must be protected from flying debris, which
are generated by many operations. Dust must be filtered out by
the dust mask or breath protection. If you are exposed to high
levels of noise for extended amounts of time, your hearing may be
damaged.
Keep other persons at a safe distance from your working area. Persons
entering your working area must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of the work piece or the attachment may be thrown away and
cause injuries outside the immediate working area.
Hold the tool only by the isolated handles while undertaking work during
which the tool or the attachment can touch hidden life wires or its own
power cable. Contact with life wires can cause metal parts of the housing
to become life and can cause electric shock.
Keep the power cable away from the spinning attachment. If you loose
control over the electric tool the power cord may be cut or become caught
and your hand or arm may be caught in the attachment.
Do not lay down the electric tool before the attachment has stopped
spinning. The spinning attachment may come in touch with the surface,
which may cause loss of control.
Do not carry the electric tool while it is running. Clothes may become
caught in the spinning attachment and the attachment may cause severe
injury.
Periodically clean the ventilation slots of the electric tool. The cooling
ventilator draws dust into the housing. An accumulation of metallic dust
may lead to dangerous electrical conditions.
Do not use the tool close to combustible materials. Flying sparks may
ignite such materials.
Do not use attachments which require liquid coolants. Use of water or
other liquid coolants can cause an electric shock.
