Special Safety Instructions - Metabo MFE 30 Notice Originale

ENGLISH
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the power
tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
3.5 Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.

Special Safety Instructions

a) Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications provided with
this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury .
b) Always use guard provided with the tool.
The guard must be securely attached to the
power tool and positioned for maximum safety,
so the least amount of wheel is exposed
towards the operator. Position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of the rotating
wheel. The guard helps to protect operator from
broken wheel fragments and accidental contact
with wheel.
c) Use only diamond cut-off wheels for your power
tool. Just because an accessory can be attached to
your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
d) The rated speed of the wheel must be at
least equal to the maximum speed marked on
the power tool. Wheels running faster than their
rated speed can break and fly apart.
e) Wheels must be used only for recom-
mended applications. For example: do not
14
grind with the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive
cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding,
side forces applied to these wheels may cause
them to shatter .
f) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that
are of correct diameter for your selected
wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel
thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
g) The outside diameter and the thickness of
your wheel must be within the capacity rating
of your power tool. Incorrectly sized wheels
cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
h) The arbour size of wheels and flanges must
properly fit the spindle of the power tool.
Wheels and flanges with arbour holes that do not
match the mounting hardware of the power tool
will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and
may cause loss of control.
i) Do not use damaged wheels. Before each
use, inspect the wheels for chips and cracks.
If power tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for
damage or install an undamaged wheel. After
inspecting and installing the wheel, position
yourself and bystanders away from the plane
of the rotating wheel and run the power tool at
maximum no load speed for one minute.
Damaged wheels will normally break apart during
this test time.
j) Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As
appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and shop apron capable
of stopping small abrasive or workpiece
fragments. The eye protection must be capable
of stopping flying debris generated by various
operations. The dust mask or respirator must be
capable of filtrating particles generated by your
operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
k) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken wheel may
fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area
of operation.
l) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the wheel may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord. Wheel contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and shock the operator.
m) Position the cord clear of the spinning
wheel. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or
snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into
the spinning wheel.
n) Never lay the power tool down until the
wheel has come to a complete stop. The
