Kompernass PWS 230 manual 10 GB/IE/CY

Safety

JIf you use the device outdoors, always connect it through a residual current device (RCD) with a maximum trip current of 30 mA. If using an extension lead, always use one that is approved for outdoor use.

JDo not suspend or carry the device by the mains lead. Always work with the mains lead leading away from the rear of the device.

JGrinding discs must be carefully kept and han- dled in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

JMake sure that abrasive consumables and tools are attached in accordance with the manufac- turer’s instructions and advice.

JEnsure that any spacers supplied or required for the use of certain abrasive consumables and tools are properly installed.

JBefore you use the device make sure that the abrasive consumable or tool is correctly attached and firmly fastened in place. Allow the tool to run under no-load conditions for 30 seconds in a safe position. Stop the device immediately if a significant amount of vibration occurs or if any defects are found. In this event check over the machine to find the cause of the problem.

JNever use the electrical power tool without its disc guard cover, if it was supplied with one.

JWhen using abrasive consumables and tools with a threaded insert make sure that the threaded hole is long enough for the spindle length.

JDo not work in areas where there may be con- cealed electricity cables or gas or water pipes. Use a suitable detector or ask your local utility service providers. Contact with electricity cables can lead to fire or electric shock.

Damaging a gas pipe can lead to an explosion. Penetration of a water pipe can lead to property damage or to electric shock.

Danger of fire from flying sparks! Cutting or grinding metal creates flying sparks. For this reason, always make sure that nobody is placed in any danger and that there are no inflammable materials near the working area.

mWarning! Noxious fumes! Working with harmful / noxious dusts represents a risk to the health of the person operating the device and to anyone near the working area.

JWear hearing protection, protective glasses, a dust protection mask and protective gloves.

JFor longer periods of cutting or grinding wood, metal or stone materials that give rise to dusts that are hazardous to health, connect the device to a suitable external vacuum dust extraction device.

JConnect a suitable vacuum dust extraction de- vice when you are working on stone or masonry. The vacuum dust extraction device must be one

approved for use with stone dusts.

mWarning! Danger of electric shock from metal dust! Machining metal can result in electrically conductive dust being deposited inside the device. In these circumstances the inside of the motor compartment must be blown out at frequent intervals with compressed air, vacuum dust extraction used and the device operated through a residual current device

(RCD) with a maximum trip current of 30 mA.

JEnsure that there is adequate ventilation when machining surfaces containing plastic or cov- ered with paint, varnish etc.

JDo not soak the materials or the surface you are about to work on with liquids containing solvents. The heat generated during abrasion can give rise to poisonous vapours or gases that are hazardous to health.

JWear close-fitting clothing and keep long hair inside a hairnet or suitable headwear.

JFor safety reasons this tool must always be used with the auxiliary handle in place.

JThe adjustable disc guard cover must always be in place when working with roughing / grinding or cutting discs.

JUse the vacuum dust extraction facility if your work generates large amounts of dust. Use vacuum dust extraction devices particularly ap- proved for the purpose.

JUse permitted consumables and tools only. Check that the speed given on the discs is greater than or equal to the rated no-load speed of the device.

JEnsure that the dimensions of the abrasive con- sumable or tool matches the grinder.

JTake note of the direction of rotation and always
