General safety advice for electrical power tools

Special safety advice for abrading using sandpaper

Do not use over-sized sanding sheets. Follow the manufacturer’s recommen- dations for sanding sheet size. Sanding sheets that project beyond the backing pad could cause injury in addition to jamming, tearing of the sheet or kickback.

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.

When using abrasive consumables and tools with a threaded insert make sure that the tread is long enough for the spindle length. Otherwise the grinding discs could become detached from the device and result in injury and / or damage to property. Do not allow the end of the spindle to contact the base of the hole in the abrasive consumable.

Do not work in areas where there may be concealed electricity cables or gas or water pipes. Use a suitable detector or ask your local utility service pro- viders. Contact with electricity cables can lead to fire or electric shock. Damaging a gas
