2.2 Machine-specific safety notices
General safety warnings for sanding, wire
brushing and abrasive cutting
– This power tool is designed to be used as a
sander, wire brush and abrasive cutting
machine. Read all safety warnings, infor
mation, illustrations and technical data
enclosed with the tool. If the following in
structions are not observed, this may lead
to electric shock, fire and/or serious inju
ries.
– This power tool is not suitable for sanding
using sandpaper or polishing. Applications
for which the power tool is not intended can
pose a serious risk and cause injuries.
– Do not use accessories which are not spe
cifically designed and recommended by
the tool manufacturer. Just because the
accessory can be attached to your power
tool, it does not assure safe operation.
– 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.
– The outside diameter and the thickness of
your accessory must be within the capaci
ty rating of your power tool. Incorrectly
sized accessories cannot be adequately
guarded or controlled.
– Threaded mounting of accessories must
match the grinder spindle thread. For ac
cessories 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.
– Do not use a damaged accessory. Before
each use inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheels 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 drop
ped, inspect for damage or install an un
damaged 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 mi
nute. Damaged accessories will normally
break apart during this test time.
– Wear personal protective equipment. De
pending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As ap
propriate, wear dust mask, hearing pro
tectors, gloves and workshop apron capa
ble of stopping small abrasive or work
piece fragments. The eye protection must
be capable of stopping flying debris gener
ated by various operations . The dust mask
or respirator must be capable of filtrating
particles generated by your operation. Pro
longed exposure to high intensity noise may
cause hearing loss.
– Make sure that any other persons in the
vicinity are at a safe distance from your
work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of the workpiece or broken
tools may fly off and even cause injuries
outside the immediate work area.
– Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an opera
tion where the cutting accessory may con
tact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory con
tacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
– Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop.
The spinning accessory may grab the sur
face and pull the power tool out of your
control.
– Do not run the power tool while carrying it
at your side. Accidental contact with the
spinning accessory could snag your cloth
ing, pulling the accessory into your body.
– 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 haz
ards.
– 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 cool
ants may result in electrocution or shock.
