Safety Instructions - Chicago Pneumatic CP7500D Betriebsanleitung

The goal of Chicago Pneumatic is to produce tools that help you work
safely and efficiently. The most important safety device for this or any
tool is YOU. Your care and good judgment are the best protection
against injury. All possible hazards cannot be covered here, but we
have tried to highlight some of the important ones.

"Safety Requirements for the Use, Care and Protection of
Abrasive Wheels" (ANSI B7.1) and "Safety Code for Portable
Air Tools" (ANSI B186.1) available from: www.ansi.org

Tools" available from: European Committee for

Air Supply And Connection Hazards
Air under pressure can cause severe injury.
Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure and
disconnect tool from air supply when not in use, before
changing accessories or when making repairs.
Never direct air at yourself or anyone else.
Whipping hoses can cause serious injury. Always check for
damaged or loose hoses and fittings.
Do not use quick disconnect couplings at tool. See
instructions for correct setup.
Whenever universal twist couplings are used, lock pins must
be installed.
Do not exceed maximum air pressure of 90 psi/6.2 bar or as
stated on tool nameplate.
Wheel Guard Usage
Always use the recommended wheel guard to prevent injury
from broken grinding wheel parts.
If a guard has withstood a wheel breakage do not continue to
use it. It may be damaged.
Position the guard between the grinding or cutting wheel and
the operator.
Use barriers to protect others from wheel fragments and
grinding sparks.
Projectile Hazards
Always wear impact-resistant eye and face protection when
involved with or near the operation, repair or maintenance of
the tool or changing accessories on the tool.
Be sure all others in the area are wearing impact-resistant eye
and face protection.
Even small projectiles can injure eyes and cause blindness.
A grinding or cutting wheel that bursts can cause very serious
injury.
Daily measure the tool speed with a tachometer to make sure
it is not greater than the RPM marked on the grinding or
cutting wheel.
Never use a grinding or cutting wheel marked with a speed
lower than the air grinder or cut-off tool speed.
Ensure that sparks and metal cuttings are directed so as not
to cause a hazard.
Grinding or Cutting Wheel Mounting Hazards
Correct grinding wheel mounting is necessary to prevent
injury from broken wheels.
Do not use chipped or cracked grinding or cutting wheels.
Grinding wheels should be a free fit on the spindle to prevent
stress at the hole.
To reduce risk of injury, everyone using, installing, repairing,
maintaining, changing accessories on, or working near this tool must
read and understand these instructions before performing any such
task.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

DO NOT DISCARD - GIVE TO USER
Use only wheel collars that come with the grinder for
mounting the grinding wheel.
Flat washers or other adapters may over stress the wheel.
Always use heavy paper blotter discs between the wheel
collars and the grinding wheel. Use spacer (Index No. 46)
only with cutting wheel. Never use spacer with grinding wheel
otherwise it can cause injury.
Tighten the wheel on the spindle to prevent spin off when the
air grinder is turned off.
Before grinding, test grinding wheel by briefly running tool at
full throttle. Be sure to use a barrier (such as under a heavy
work table) to stop any possible broken wheel parts.
Cut-Off Tool Operating Hazards
Cutting with these tools will create sharp edges. Wear
gloves to protect hands.
Avoid direct contact with accessory and work surface
during and after work.
Cutting edges and saw blades can become hot during
use. Do not touch.
Never force the tool to cut faster or through heavier
gauge material than rated capacity.
To prevent damage to the tool and accessory,
accessory must be held firmly against work surface
while cutting.
Workplace Hazards
Slip/Trip/Fall is a major cause of serious injury or death. Be
aware of excess hose left on the walking or work surface.
High sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss. Use
hearing protection as recommended by your employer or
OSHA regulation (see 29 CFR part 1910).
Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing.
Repetitive work motions, awkward positions and exposure to
vibration can be harmful to hands and arms. If numbness,
tingling, pain or whitening of the skin occurs, stop using tool
and consult a physician.
Avoid inhaling dust or handling debris from the work process
which can be harmful to your health. Use dust extraction and
wear respiratory protective equipment when working with
materials which produce airborne particles.
Operators and maintenance personnel must be physically
able to handle the bulk, weight and power of this tool.
This tool is not intended for use in explosive atmospheres and
is not insulated for contact with electric power sources.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
- Lead from lead based paints
- Crystalline silica bricks and cement and other
masonry products
- And Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated rubber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
For professional use only.
