General safety advice for electrical power tools
e)Support boards or workpieces whilst cutting to reduce the risk of kickback caused by a jammed cutting disc. Large workpieces may bend under their own weight. The workpiece must be supported to both sides of the cutting disc and particularly near the cutting disc and at the workpiece edge.
f)Be particularly careful when pocket cutting in existing walls or other areas where you cannot see what you are cut- ting into. The cutting disc plunged into the surface could cut through gas or water pipes, electricity cables or other objects and cause kickback.
Special safety advice for abrading using sandpaper
Do not use
Special safety advice for polishing
Do not use the polishing bonnet if it has any loose parts, in particular the fastening cords. Tuck the fastening cords away or trim them. Loose fastening cords rotat- ing with the attachment could catch your fingers or become trapped in the workpiece.
Special safety advice for working with wire brushes
a)Bear in mind that wire brushes lose pieces of wire during normal use. Do not overload the wires by applying too much pressure. Flying pieces of wire can very easily penetrate thin clothing and / or skin.
b)Use a guard, if recommended, but make sure that the wire brush does not come into contact with the guard.
The diameters of disc brushes and cup brushes can increase due to contact pressure and cen- tripetal forces.
Safety advice
for angle grinders
DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Do not operate the device if the mains lead or mains plug is damaged.
DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Do not touch the mains lead if it becomes damaged or cut through while you are using the device. Pull the plug out of the mains socket immediately and have the de- vice repaired by a suitably qualified person or at your service centre.
DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Do not operate the device if it is damp and do not use it in a damp environment. DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! If 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.
Do not suspend or carry the device by the mains lead. Always work with the mains lead leading away from the rear of the device. Otherwise the device could be damaged.
Grinding discs must be carefully kept and handled in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Otherwise they could be damaged.
Make sure that abrasive consumables and tools are attached in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and advice. Otherwise they could become detached from the device and result in injury and / or damage to property.
Ensure that any spacers supplied and required for the use of certain abrasive consumables and tools are installed. Do not use separate reducing bushes or adapters in order to make grinding discs with a larger bore fit.
