j ) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If
you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your
hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
k ) 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.
l ) 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.
m ) 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.
n ) Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
o ) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL
OPERATIONS
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 tool misuse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below:
a ) 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 reaction
or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b ) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
c ) 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.
d ) 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.
e ) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or
toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback
and loss of control.
Additional Safety Instructions for Sanding
Operations
a ) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc
paper. Follow manufacturer's recommendations,
when selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding paper
extending beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration
hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc
or kickback.
Additional Specific Safety Rules for Sanders
WARNING: Contact with or inhalation of dusts arising
from sanding applications may endanger the health of
the operator and possible bystanders. Wear a dust mask
specifically designed for protection against toxic dust and
fumes and ensure that persons within or entering the work
area are also protected.
WARNING: Use this tool in a well-ventilated area when
sanding ferrous metals. Do not operate the tool near
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Sparks or hot particles
from sanding or arcing motor brushes may ignite
combustible materials.
WARNING: Do not use the dust filter cassette or the dust
extraction adaptor to store objects.
Sanding Paint
WARNING: Observe the applicable regulations for
sanding paint. Pay special attention to the following:
•
Whenever possible, use a vacuum extractor for
dust collection.
•
Take special care when sanding paint which is possibly
lead based:
‑
Do not let children or pregnant women enter
the work area. All persons entering the work
area should wear a mask specially designed for
protection against lead paint dust and fumes.
Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area.
•
Dispose of dust particles and any other removal
debris safely.
Residual Risks
WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current
device with a residual current rating of 30mA or less.
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks
cannot be avoided. These are:
•
Impairment of hearing.
•
Risk of personal injury due to flying particles.
•
Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot
during operation.
•
Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.
