General safety advice for electrical power tools
f) Grinding discs, flanges, grinding
wheels or other accessories must fit
exactly on to the spindle of your elec-
trical power tool. Attachments that do not
exactly fit on the spindle turn unevenly, vibrate
severely and could lead to loss of control.
g) Do not use damaged attachments.
Before every use check attachments
such as grinding discs for loose frag-
ments and cracks, grinding wheels for
cracks, deterioration or excessive
wear and wire brushes for loose or
broken wires. If the electrical power
tool or attachment is dropped, inspect
for damage or change the attachment
for an undamaged one. When you
have inspected and inserted the at-
tachment, position yourself and by-
standers away from the plane of the
rotating attachment and run the device
at maximum speed for one minute.
Damaged attachments will usually break apart
during this test.
Wear personal protective
h)
equipment. use a full face vi-
sor, safety goggles or safety
glasses, depending on the application.
Wear a dust mask, hearing protectors,
safety gloves or special apron capable
of stopping particles of the grinding
medium or workpiece, as appropriate
for the task. Eyes must be protected from
the flying debris which can arise from some
operations. Dust or breathing masks must be
capable of filtering out the dust generated by
the application. Prolonged exposure to loud
noise can lead to hearing loss.
Keep bystanders at a safe distance
i)
from your work area. Anyone entering
the work area must wear personal
protective equipment. Fragments of the
workpiece or of a broken attachment could fly
off and cause injury beyond the immediate
working area.
Hold the device by the insulated han-
j)
dle surfaces when you are undertak-
ing work where there is the danger
of the attachment striking hidden
10 GB/IE
electricity cables or the device's mains
lead. Contact with a live wire could cause
metal parts of the device to become live and
lead to electric shock.
k) Keep the mains lead away from rotat-
ing attachments. If you lose control of the
device the mains lead may become severed or
trapped and your hand or arm may be pulled
into the rotating attachment.
l) Never lay the electrical power tool
down until after the attachment has
come to a complete standstill. The rotat-
ing attachment may snag when it comes into
contact with the surface and cause you to lose
control of the device.
m) Do not have the electrical power tool
running while you are carrying it. Your
clothing could become trapped by unintention-
al contact with the rotating attachment and the
tool could be pulled into your body.
n) Clean the ventilation slots on your
electrical power tool regularly. The mo-
tor's fan draws dust into the housing. A build-up
of metal dust could give rise to an electrical
hazard.
Never use the electrical
o)
power tool near inflammable
materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
p) Do not use attachments that require
the use of coolants. The use of water or
other liquid coolants could result in electric shock.

Q
relating to kickback
Kickback is the sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating attachment, such as a grinding
disc, grinding pad, wire brush etc. Pinching or
snagging results in the rotating attachment coming
to an abrupt stop. This causes the electrical power
tool (if not controlled) to move in the opposite di-
rection to the direction of rotation of the attachment
at the point of constraint.
If, for example, a grinding disc is pinched or snags
in a workpiece, this can cause the edge of the
