Safety Instructions For All Operations - Porter-Cable PCEG011 Instruction Manual

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and
off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or the battery
pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of
the reach of children and do not
allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits, etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions
and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL
OPERATIONS
Safety Warnings Common for Grinding,
Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations,
Sanding, Wire Brushing, or Abrasive,
Cutting-Off Operations
a) This power tool is intended to
function as a grinder, sander, wire
brush, or cut-off tool. Read all safety
warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with
this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
b) Operations, such as polishing are not
recommended to be performed with
this power tool. Operations for which
the power tool was not designed
may create a hazard and cause
personal injury.
c) Do not use accessories, which
are not specifically designed
and recommended by the tool
manufacturer. Just because the
accessory can be attached to your
power tool, it does not assure safe
operation.
d) The RATED SPEED of the accessory
must be at least equal to the
maximum speed marked on the
power tool. Accessories running faster
than their RATED SPEED can break
and fly apart
e) 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.
f) Threaded mounting of accessories
must match the grinder spindle
thread. For accessories mounted
by flanges, the arbour hole of the
accessory must fit the locating
diameter of the flange. Accessories
that do not match the mounting
hardware of the power tool will run out
of balance, vibrate excessively and may
cause loss of control.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory.
Before each use inspect the
accessory such as abrasive wheel
for chips and cracks, backing pad
for cracks, tear or excess wear,
wire brush 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.
h) Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety
