The guard helps to protect operator from broken wheel
fragments, accidental contact with wheel and sparks that
could ignite clothing.
Wheels must be used only for recommended ap-
u
plications. For example: do not grind with the side of
cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for
peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels
may cause them to shatter.
Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of
u
correct size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper
wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the posibil-
ity of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be
different from grinding wheel flanges.
Do not use worn down wheels from larger power
u
tools. Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable
for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
Additional safety warnings specific for abrasive
cutting-off operations
Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive
u
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth
of cut. Over stressing the wheel increases the loading
and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the
cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
Do not position your body in line with and behind the
u
rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation,
is moving away from your body, the possible kickback may
propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at
you.
When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for
u
any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the
power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a
complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off
wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion other-
wise kickback may occur.
Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the
cause of wheel binding.
Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece.
u
Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter
the cut.
The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool
is restarted in the workpiece.
Support panels or any oversized workpiece to mini-
u
mise the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large
workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports
must be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut
and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the
wheel.
Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut" into ex-
u
isting walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel
may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that
can cause kickback.
(Original instructions)
Safety warnings specific for wire brushing
opertions
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush
u
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/or skin.
If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brush-
u
ing, do not allow any interference of the wire wheel or
brush with the guard. Wire wheel or brush may expand
@
in diameter due to work load and centrifugal forces.
Warning! Contact with or inhalation of dusts
arising from wire brushing applications may
endanger the health of the operator and possible
bystanders. Wear a dust mask specifically
designed for protection against dust and fumes
and ensure that persons within or entering the
work area are also protected.
Safety of others
This tool can be used by children aged from 8 years and
u
above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if
they have been given supervision or instruction concern-
ing use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the
hazards involved.
Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and
u
user maintenance shall not be made by children without
supervision.
Residual risks
Additional residual risks may arise when using the tool which
may not be included in the enclosed safety warnings. These
risks can arise from misuse, prolonged use etc.
Even with the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual
risks can not be avoided. These include:
Injuries caused by touching any rotating/moving parts.
u
Injuries caused when changing any parts, blades or ac-
u
cessories.
Injuries caused by prolonged use of a tool. When using
u
any tool for prolonged periods ensure you take regular
breaks.
Impairment of hearing.
u
Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when
u
using your tool (example:- working with wood, especially
oak, beech and MDF.)
