Further Safety Instructions; Residual Risks - Stanley FATMAX SFMEE500 Manual

ENGLISH
Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory.
u
If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged
and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning
accessory.
Never lay the power tool down until the accessory
u
has come to a complete stop. The spinning
accessory may grab the surface and pull the power
tool out of your control.
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your
u
side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory
could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into
your body.
Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The
u
motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing and
excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause
electrical hazards.
Do not operate the power tool near flammable
u
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid
u
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution or shock.

Further safety instructions

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
u
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.
u
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
Do not position your body in the area where power
u
tool will move if kickback occurs.
8
(Original instructions)
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
u
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.
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or
u
toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control.
Additional safety instructions for sanding
operations
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations:
Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc
u
paper. Follow manufacturers 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.
Safety of others
This tool is not intended for use by persons (including
u
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
u
play with the appliance.

Residual risks

Additional residual risks may arise when using the tool which
may not be included in the enclosed safety warnings. These
risks can arise from misuse, prolonged use etc.
Even with the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual
risks can not be avoided. These include:
Injuries caused by touching any rotating/moving parts.
u
Injuries caused when changing any parts, blades or
u
accessories.
Injuries caused by prolonged use of a tool. When using
u
any tool for prolonged periods ensure you take regular
breaks.
Impairment of hearing.
u
Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when
u
using your tool (example:- working with wood, especially
oak, beech and MDF.)
