• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mark, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
•Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying
machines with your finger on the switch or plugging in machines that have the switch on invites
accidents.
•Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the machine on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the machine may result in personal injury.
•Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the
machine in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.
4)Machine use and care
• Do not force the machine. Use the correct machine for your application. The correct machine will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
•Do not use the machine if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any machine that can not be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
•Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing machines. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the machine
accidentally.
• Store idle machines out of the reach children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the machine
or these instructions to operate the machine. Machines are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
• Maintain machines. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the machines operation. If damaged, have the machine repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained machines.
•Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the machine, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of machine, taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the machine for operations different from intended could result
in a hazardous situation.
5)Service
• Have your machine serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the machine is maintained.
Safety warning specific for grinding operations:
1.
use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the specific guard designed
for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not designed can not be adequately
guarded and are unsafe.
2.
the guard must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned for maximum safety, so
the least amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator. The guard helps to protect operator
from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
3.
wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the
side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-0off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces
applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
4.
always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct size and shapes for your selected wheel.
Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges
for cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges.
