Battery Charger Safety; Battery Safety - GMC GOMT12 Manual Del Usuario

r) Sawing, cutting and abrasive actions create heat. This may affect the workpiece and
power tool. ALWAYS monitor the heat level and in the event of excessive heat switch
off the power tool and allow to cool before restarting work. Some power tools depending
on design may be more quickly and effectively cooled by running at high speed without
load.
s) The power tool will draw in dust through the vents on its body. Excessive
accumulation of powdered metal may cause an electrical hazard and destroy the tool.
ALWAYS ensure the environment dust level is safe for the tool and ensure the vents are
not blocked.
t) For mains-operated power tools, ensure the cable of the power tool is ALWAYS kept
behind the tool and never close to where the accessory or blade is operating.
u) DO NOT reach under the workpiece, rest the workpiece on your body, or hold the
GB
workpiece while working on it, as contact with the blade or accessory protruding
from the workpiece can result in serious injury.
v) Anti-vibration gloves should be worn when operating power tools that produce
large amount of vibration, especially during long-term use.
w) For power tools with a rotating mechanism and accessories ensure the operator is
not wearing clothes or gloves with frayed threads, cords etc. that could be
entangled in the rotating mechanism dragging the operator's hand into the rotating
accessory causing injury. ALWAYS wear tight fitting work clothes, safety shoes.
Remove jewellery and secure long hair. NEVER wear fabric-based gloves that can
produce strands of material when operating this type of power tool.
x) DO NOT allow sanding sheets to wear away on the sanding pad. This will damage the
surface of the pad requiring replacement and may cause parts of the sanding sheet to fly
off the pad, causing operator injury.
y) DO NOT touch the moving sanding sheet.
z) Wire brush bristles are thrown by the brush even during ordinary operation.
DO NOT overstress the wires by applying excessive load to the brush. The wire bristles
can easily penetrate light clothing and skin.
Note: The tool must ONLY be used for its intended purpose. Any use other than those
mentioned in this manual will be considered a case of misuse. The operator, and not the
manufacturer, shall be liable for any damage or injury resulting from such cases of misuse.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for any modifications made to the tool, nor for any
damage resulting from such modifications.
