you are carrying it.
Your clothing can come into
contact with the rotating plug-in tool and the
plugin tool could thus bore into your body.
n) Clean the ventilation slots on your electric
tool at regular intervals.
The motor fan draws
dust into the housing and a heavy accumulation
of metal dust can pose electric risks.
o) Never use the electric tool in the vicinity of
inflammable materials.
Sparks may ignite these
materials.
p) Do not use any plug-in tools which require
liquid coolant.
Use of water or other liquid
coolants could result in electric shocks.
Other safety information for all applications
Recoil is the sudden reaction as a result of a
jammed or blocked rotating plug-in-tool, such as
a grinding wheel, grinding disks, wire brushes etc.
Jamming or blocking leads to an abrupt stop of
the rotating plugin-tool. This causes acceleration
of any uncontrolled electric tools rotating in the
opposite direction to the plug-in-tool at the point
of blockage.
If for example a grinding wheel gets jammed or
blocked by the workpiece, the edge of the
grinding wheel could get stuck and the grinding
wheel could break free or recoil, if it should come
into contact with the workpiece. The grinding
wheel moves toward or away from the operator,
depending upon the direction of rotation of the
disk at the point of blockage.
Grinding wheels could also be broken if this
occurs.
Recoil is the result of incorrect or wrong use of
the electric tool. It can be prevented by suitable
precautions, as described below.
a) Hold the electric tool securely and move
your
body and your arms into a position in which
you can absorb the force created by the
recoil. Always use the additional handle (if
there is one) to give you the maximum
possible control over recoil forces or
reaction moments whilst the tool is operating
at full speed.
The operator can manage the
recoil and reaction forces by taking suitable
precautions.
b) Never move your hand into the vicinity of
rotating plug-in tools.
The plug-in tool may
catch your hand if it suffers recoil.
c) Keep your body out the area into which the
electric tool will be moved if it suffers recoil.
Recoil will throw the electric tool into the
direction opposite to the grinding/sanding wheel
at the point at which it is blocked.
d) Work with particular care around corners,
sharp edges, etc. Ensure that the plug-in tool
does not bounce off or jam in the workpiece.
At corners, sharp edges or if it bounces, the
rotating plug-in tool will tend to jam. This will
result in loss of control or recoil.
e) Do not use chain saw blades or toothed saw
blades.
These plug-in tools often cause recoil or
loss of control of the electric tool.
Special safety instructions for sandpapering:
a) Do not use oversized sandpaper; follow the
manufacturer’s instructions on the size of the
sandpaper.
Sandpaper that projects beyond the
sanding disk may cause injuries, result in the
sandpaper becoming jammed or torn, or produce
kick-back.
Special safety instructions for polishing:
a) Make sure there are no loose parts, in
particular fastening ties, on the polishing
bonnet.
Roll up or shorten the fastening ties.
Loose, rotating ties may catch your fingers or get
jammed in the workpiece.
Do not lose these safety instructions
