Safety Warnings Specific For Grinding And Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations; Additional Safety Warnings Specific For Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations - VONROC AG501DC Traduction De La Notice Originale

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 will draw the dust inside the hou-
sing and excessive accumulation of powdered
metal may cause electrical hazards.
o) Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
p) Do not use accessories that require liquid cool­
ants. Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution or shock.
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or sna-
gged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other
accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling
of the rotating accessory which in turn causes the
uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction
opposite of the accessory's rotation at the point of the
binding. For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged
or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel
that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the
surface of the material causing the wheel to climb
out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or
away from the operator, depending on direction of the
wheel's movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive
wheels may also break under these conditions. Kick-
back is the result of power tool misuse and/or incor-
rect operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle,
if provided, for maximum control over kickback
or torque reaction during start­up. The operator
can control torque reactions or kickback forces,
if proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating acces­
sory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where po­
wer tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback
will propel the tool in direction opposite to the
wheel's movement at the point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners, sharp
edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the
accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing
have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory
and cause loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or

toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR GRINDING
AND ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for
your power tool and the specific guard designed
for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the po-
wer tool was not designed cannot be adequately
guarded and are unsafe.
b) The grinding surface of centre depressed
wheels must be mounted below the plane of the
guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel that
projects through the plane of theguard lip cannot
be adequately protected.
c) 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. The guard helps to protect the operator
from broken wheel fragments, accidental contact
with wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing.
d) Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with the
side of cut­off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are
intended for peripheral grinding, side forces ap-
plied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that
are of correct size and shape for your selected
wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel
thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from
grinding wheel flanges.
f) Do not use worn down wheels from larger po­
wer tools. Wheel intended for larger power tool
is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller
tool and may burst.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR
ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
Cut-off operations are only suitable
with a special protection guard
(not included) Fig. E2 - F2.
a) Do not "jam" the cut­off wheel or apply ex­
cessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an
excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel
increases the loading and susceptibility to twis-
ting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the
possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
b) Do not position your body in line with and behind
the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point
