Kickback And Related Warnings - Metabo HPT GM 13Y Instructions De Sécurité Et Mode D'emploi

English
c) Do not use accessories that are not specifi cally
designed and recommended by the tool
manufacturer.
Just because an accessory can be attached to
your power tool does not mean safe operation is
guaranteed.
d) The rated speed of the accessory must be at
least equal to the maximum speed marked on the
power tool.
Accessories running faster than their rated speed can
break and fl y apart.
e) The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of
your power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately
protected or controlled.
f) Threaded mounting of accessories must match
the grinder spindle thread. For accessories
mounted by fl anges, the arbour hole of the
accessory must fi t the locating diameter of the
fl ange.
Accessories that do not match the mounting hardware
of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate
excessively and may cause loss of control.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before use,
always check accessories for splinters or cracks
and check grinding wheels for cracks or signs of
severe wear and tear. If a power tool or accessory
is dropped, inspect for damage or install an
undamaged accessory. After inspecting and
installing an accessory, position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of the rotating
accessory and run the power tool at maximum
no-load speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories will normally break apart
during this test time.
h) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending
on the application, use a face shield, safety
goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate,
wear a dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves
and workshop apron capable of stopping small
abrasive or workpiece fragments.
The eye protection must be capable of stopping
fl ying debris generated by various operations. The
dust mask or respirator must be capable of fi ltering
particles generated by your operation. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing
loss.
i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from your
work area. Anyone entering the work area must
wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of a workpiece or broken accessory may
fl y into the air and cause injury beyond the immediate
area of operation.

j) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord.
A cutting accessory that comes in contact with a "live"
wire may render exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and give the operator an electric shock.
k) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory.
If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged
and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning
accessory.
I) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory
has come to a complete stop.
The spinning accessory may catch the surface and
pull the power tool out of your control.
m) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your
side.
Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could
snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your
body.
n) Regularly clean the power tool's air vents.
The motor's fan draws dust into the housing.
o) Do not operate the power tool near fl ammable
materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
p) Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.

KICKBACK AND RELATED WARNINGS

Kickback is the sudden response to an accessory pinching
or jamming while rotating. Pinching or jamming causes the
rotating accessory to stop abruptly, which in turn forces
the uncontrolled power tool in the direction against the
accessory's rotation at the point of jamming.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions. It can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below.
a) Maintain a fi rm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. Always use the auxiliary handle
for maximum control over kickback or torque
reaction during start-up.
The operator can control torque reactions or kickback
forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory.
The accessory may kickback over your hand.
c) Do not allow your body to enter the area where
the power tool would move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel the power tool in the opposite
direction of the accessory's movement at the point of
jamming.
