Cut-Off Machine Safety Warnings; Kickback And Related Warnings - Bosch GCO 14-24 J Professional Notice Originale

Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
u
tool for your application. The correct power tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was de-
signed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
u
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or re-
u
move the battery pack, if detachable, from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing ac-
cessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
u
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.
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for mis-
u
alignment 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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
u
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
u
accordance with these instructions, taking into ac-
count the working conditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
u
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
u
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Cut-off machine safety warnings

Position yourself and bystanders away from the plane
u
of the rotating wheel. The guard helps to protect the op-
erator from broken wheel fragments and accidental con-
tact with wheel.
Use only bonded reinforced cut-off wheels for your
u
power tool. Just because an accessory can be attached
to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
The rated speed of the accessory must be at least
u
equal to the maximum speed marked on the power
tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed
can break and fly apart.
Wheels must be used only for recommended applica-
u
tions. For example: do not grind with the side of a cut-
off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peri-
Bosch Power Tools
pheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may
cause them to shatter.
Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of cor-
u
rect diameter for your selected wheel. Proper wheel
flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of
wheel breakage.
The outside diameter and the thickness of your ac-
u
cessory must be within the capacity rating of your
power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be ad-
equately guarded or controlled.
The arbour size of wheels and flanges must properly
u
fit the spindle of the power tool. Wheels and flanges
with arbour holes that do not match the mounting hard-
ware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate ex-
cessively and may cause loss of control.
Do not use damaged wheels. Before each use, inspect
u
the wheels for chips and cracks. If the power tool or
wheel is dropped, inspect for damage or install an un-
damaged 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.
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
u
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing pro-
tectors, gloves and shop apron capable of stopping
small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye pro-
tection must be capable of stopping flying debris gener-
ated 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.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area.
u
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 im-
mediate area of operation.
Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If
u
you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your
hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning wheel.
Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The motor's
u
fan can draw the dust inside the housing and excessive
accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical
hazards.
Do not operate the power tool near flammable materi-
u
als. Do not operate the power tool while placed on a
combustible surface such as wood. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
u
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electro-
cution or shock.

Kickback and related warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotat-
ing wheel. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the
