Intended Use - Virutex LPC197 Manual De Instrucciones

• The LPC197 sander cannot and must not be used for
abrasive blasting, planing, polishing or sawing. Using
the machine for work for which it was not designed is
dangerous and could cause personal injuries.
• Always hold the machine with two hands for sanding.
Losing control of the machine could cause personal
injuries.
• Always grip the device by the insulating handles when
carrying out jobs in which the abrasive disc could come
into contact with hidden electrical cables. Contact with
electrical cables would charge the metal parts of the
machine, causing an electric shock.
• Keep the mains lead away from the machine's wor-
king area. Ensure that the lead remains behind you
while sanding.
• Do not use the machine if the lead is damaged. Damaged
leads increase the risk of electric shock.
• Stop the machine immediately if you notice any
unusual vibrations or any other irregularity and check
the machine until you find the cause.
• The dust produced when working with this machine
could be harmful to your health. Use a good vacuum
cleaner system, wear a suitable breathing mask and pick
up any dust that falls with a vacuum cleaner.
• Never force a machine that appears to have operating
difficulties or shows some sort of weakness. There may
be a technical problem, in which case continuing to work
could damage the machine irreparably. Have the machine
checked by an authorised service centre whenever the
machine is not working properly.
• Use only original accessories.
Kickback and Related Warnings:
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or sna-
gged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other
accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling
of the rotating accessory which in turn causes the
uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction
opposite of the accessory's rotation at the point of the
binding. For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or
pinched by the orkpiece, 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. Kickback is the
result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given 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 reac-
tions 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 will propel
the tool in direction opposite to the wheel's movement
at the point of snagging.
• 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.
• 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 excessively oversized sanding disc paper.
Follow manufacturers recommendations, when selecting
sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond
the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may
cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
