Metal Processing; Health Hazard By Dust; Intended Use - Festool ROTEX RO 90 DX FEQ Manual De Instrucciones

English
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Prop­
f.
erly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instruc­
tions, taking into account the working con­
ditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a haz­
ardous situation.
h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slip­
pery handles and grasping surfaces do not
allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
5 SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a quali­
a.
fied repair person using only identical re­
placement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
b. Only use original Festool parts for repair
and maintenance. The use of incompatible
accessories or spare parts can result in
electric shocks or other injuries.
3.2 Machine-specific safety notices
– Harmful/toxic dust may be produced dur­
ing your work (e.g. paint containing lead,
certain types of wood and metal). Aontact
with or inhalation of this dust may pose a
risk for the operating personnel or persons
in the vicinity. Comply with the safety regu­
lations that apply in your country. Connect
the power tool to a suitable dust extractor.
– Wear a P2 respiratory mask to pro­
tect your health.
– Always wear protective goggles to
protect against sanding hazards.
– If potentially explosive or self-igniting dust
is produced during sanding, the machining
instructions issued by the material manu­
facturer must always be followed.
– Prevent liquid polishing agent (polish)
from penetrating the tool. The penetration
of liquid polishing agent (polish) into the
power tool increases the risk of electric
shock.
– If the power tool is dropped or falls, check
for damage to the machine and sanding
pad. Remove the sanding pad for closer
inspection. Have the damaged parts re­
8
paired before use. Broken sanding pads
and damaged machines can cause injuries
and machine instability.
3.3

Metal processing

When processing metal, the following
measures must be taken for safety reasons:
– Install an upstream residual-current circuit
breaker (FIG, PRCD).
– Connect the machine to a suitable dust ex­
tractor.
– Regularly remove dust deposits from the
motor housing of the machine by blowing.
Wear protective goggles.
3.4

Health hazard by dust

WARNING! various dust created by pow­
er sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction activities contains chemicals
known (to the State of California) to cause can­
cer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
– lead from lead-based paints,
– crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
– arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
The risk from these expo­
sures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your expo­
sure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment,
such as dust masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles. Wash hands
after handling.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, USER
MUST READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL.

Intended use

As specified, the machines is designed for
sanding and polishing plastic, metal, wood,
composite materials, paint/clear coats, filler
and similar materials. Materials containing as­
bestos must not be processed.
To guarantee electrical safety, the machine
must not be damp or operated in a damp envi­
