Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations

en ENGLISH

4.5Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations:

a)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.

4.6Only for WE 14-125 VS: Special safety instructions for polishing:

Loose parts on the polishing guard, especially the fastening cords, are not permitted. Tuck away or shorten the fastening cords. Loose, spinning fastening cords may make contact with your fingers or become caught in the workpiece.

4.7Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing Operations:

a)Be aware that wire 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/or skin.

b)If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing, 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.

4.8Additional Safety Instructions

WARNING – Always wear protective goggles.

Use elastic cushioning layers if they have been supplied with the abrasive and if required. Observe the specifications of the tool or accessory manufacturer! Protect the discs from grease or impacts!

Grinding wheels must be stored and handled with care in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

Never use parting grinder discs for roughing work! Do not apply pressure to the side of parting grinder discs.

The tool must lay flat and be secured against slipping, e.g. using clamps. Large workpieces must be sufficiently supported.

If accessories with threaded inserts are used, the end of the spindle may not touch the base of the hole on the grinding tool. Make sure that the thread in the accessory is long enough to accommodate the full length of the spindle. The thread in the accessory must match the thread on the spindle. See page 3 and chapter 14. Technical Specifications for more information on the spindle length and thread.

During machining, of metals in

particular, conductive dust can form deposits inside the machine. This can lead to the transfer of electrical energy onto the machine housing. This can mean a temporary danger of

14 electric shocks. This is why it is necessary when the

machine is running to blow compressed air through the rear ventilation slots of the machine regularly, frequently and thoroughly. Here, the machine must be held firmly.

We recommend using a stationary extractor system and connecting a residual current circuit-breaker (FI) upstream. When the angle grinder is shut down via the FI circuit-breaker, it must be checked and cleaned. See chapter 9. Cleaning for more information on cleaning the motor.

Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or bystanders.

Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic such as oak and beech dust especially in conjunction with additives for wood conditioning (chromate, wood preservative). Material containing asbestos must only be treated by specialists.

- Where the use of a dust extraction device is possible it shall be used.

- The work place must be well ventilated.

- The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is recommended.

Follow national requirements for the materials you want to work with.

Materials that generate dusts or vapours that may be harmful to health (e.g. asbestos) must not be processed.

When working in dusty conditions, ensure that ventilation openings are not blocked. If it becomes necessary to remove dust, first disconnect the power tool from the mains supply (use non-metallic objects) and avoid damaging internal components. Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools must not be used.

Avoid damage to gas or water pipes, electrical cables and loadbearing walls (static). Connect a FI circuit-breaker with max. release current (30 mA) upstream when using the machine outdoors!

Pull the plug out of the socket before any making adjustments, converting or servicing the machine. Metabo S-automatic safety clutch. When the safety clutch responds, switch off the machine immediately!

A damaged or cracked additional handle must be replaced. Never operate a machine with a defective additional handle.

A damaged or cracked safety guard must be replaced. Never operate a machine with a defective safety guard.

This power tool is not designed for polishing (does not apply for WE 14-125 VS.). Improper use of the machine will void the warranty! The motor may overheat and damage the electric power tool. We recommend using our angle polisher for polishing work.
