Safety Notes
levels of noise for extended amounts of time, your sense of 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.
Kickback
Kickback is the sudden reaction of a wedged or locked spinning
attachment such as a grinding or sanding disc or a wire brush etc. This
causes the spinning attachment to come to a sudden stop, which will force
the electric tool against the rotating direction of the attachment.
If, for instance, a cutting disc becomes locked or jammed in the work
piece, the edge of the disc may fracture inside the work piece and cause a
violent kickback. The disc will then move away from or towards the
operator, depending on the direction of rotation on the locking point. This
may also shatter the disc.
