Kickback And Related Warnings - Flex WSE 7 Bedienungsanleitung

 Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop.
The spinning accessory may grab the
surface 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 clothing, 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
hazards.
 Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
 Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may
result reesult in electrocution or shock.

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 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.
Special safety instructions for
sanding
 Do not use oversized sanding sheets, but
follow the manufacturer's specifications
for the size of sanding sheets.
Sanding sheets which project over the
sanding pad may cause injuries as well as
block and rip the sanding sheets or cause a
kickback.
