Additional Safety Instructions - Flex SFE 8-2 115 Originalbetriebsanleitung

For example: Never sand with the side area
of a diamond sanding pad.
Diamond sanding pads are designed to
remove material with the underside of the
sanding pad. If a lateral force is applied
to these sanding tools, they may shatter.
 Always use undamaged clamping flanges
in the correct size and shape for the
insertion tool you have selected.
Suitable flanges support the insertion tools
and therefore reduce the risk of a break.
 Do not use worn insertion tools from larger
electric power tools.
Insertion tools for larger electric power tools
are not designed for the higher speeds of
smaller electric power tools and may break.
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is the sudden reaction to a pinched
or snagged rotating insertion tool, such
as a sanding disc, sanding pad, wire brush,
etc. Pinching or snagging may cause a
rotating insertion tool to stop abruptly.
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.
For example, if a sanding disc is snagged
or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the
sanding disc which is entering the workpiece
may become caught and cause the sanding
disc to break off or kick back.
The sanding disc then moves towards or away
from the operator, depending on the direction
in which the disc is rotating at the point
of pinching. Sanding discs may also break
under these conditions.
A recoil occurs if the electric power tool is used
incorrectly or improperly. A recoil can be
prevented by appropriate precautions as
described below.
 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
14
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.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
 Do not position your body in the area
where power tool will move if kickback
occurs.
Kickback propels the electric power tool
in the direction opposite to the movement
of the sanding disc at the point of pinching.
 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.
This causes a loss of control or kickback.
 Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving
blade or toothed saw blade.
Such blades create frequent kickback and
loss of control.

Additional safety instructions

 It is not recommended to sand lead paint.
Lead paint should be removed by a
specia-list only.
 Do not work on materials which release
hazardous substances (e.g. asbestos).
Take precautions if hazardous,
combustible or explosive dust is likely to
occur. Wear protective dust mask.
Use dust extraction system.
 When working, hold the electric power tool
firmly with both hands and ensure that you
have a secure footing. The electric power
tool is controlled more securely if held with
both hands.
 Do not use the electric power tool if it has
a damaged power cord. Do not touch the
damaged power cord and pull out the
mains plug if the power cord is damaged
during work. Damaged power cords
increase the risk of an electric shock.
DAMAGE TO PROPERTY!
 The mains voltage and the voltage
specifica-tions on the rating plate must
correspond.
