Safety Warnings Specific For Wire Brush- Ing Operations; Additional Safety Warnings - F.F. Group AG 230/2400S PRO Notice Originale

AG 230/2400S PRO
tool and positioned for maximum safety, so the least
amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator.
The guard helps to protect operator from broken
wheel fragments, accidental contact with wheel and
sparks that could ignite clothing.
Wheels must be used only for recommended appli-
h
cations. For example: do not grind with the side of
the cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are in-
tended for peripheral grinding; side forces applied
to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of
h
correct size and shape for your selected wheel. Prop-
er wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing
the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off
wheels may be different from grinding wheel flang-
es.
Do not use worn down reinforced wheels from larg-
h
er power tools. Wheels intended for larger power
tools are not suitable for the higher speed of a small-
er tool and may burst.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR
ABRASIVE CUTTING OFF OPERATIONS
Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive
h
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive
depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the
loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of
the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback
or wheel breakage.
Do not position your body in line with and behind
h
the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of
operation, is moving away from your body, the possi-
ble kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the
power tool directly at you.
When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut
h
for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold
the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to
a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-
off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion
otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and take
corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel
binding.
Do not restart the cutting operation in the work-
h
piece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully
re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kick-
back if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
Support panels or any oversized workpiece to mini-
h
mize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large
workpieces tend to sag under their own weight.
Supports must be placed under the workpiece near
the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on
both sides of the wheel.
Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut" into
h
existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding
wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or
objects that can cause kickback.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR SANDING OP-
ERATIONS
Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper.
h
Follow manufacturers recommendations, when se-
lecting sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extend-
ing beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration
hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc,
or kickback.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR WIRE BRUSH-
ING OPERATIONS
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush
h
even during ordinary operation. Do not overstress
the wires by applying excessive load to the brush.
The wire bristles can easily penetrate light clothing
and/or skin.
If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brush-
h
ing, do not allow any interference of the wire wheel
or brush with the guard. Wire wheel or brush may
expand in diameter due to work load and centrifugal
forces.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

Wear safety goggles.
h
Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines
h
are hidden in the work area or call the local utility
company for assistance. Contact with electric lines
can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas
line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line
causes property damage or may cause an electric
shock.
Release the On/Off switch and set it to the off po-
h
sition when the power supply is interrupted, e. g.,
in case of a power failure or when the mains plug is
pulled.
Do not touch grinding and cutting discs before they
h
have cooled down. The discs can become very hot
while working.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
h
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than
by hand.
CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY
Make sure the power supply information on the ma-
chine's rating plate are compatible with the power
supply you intend to connect it to.
This appliance is Class II* and is designed for connec-
tion to a power supply matching that detailed on the
rating label and compatible with the plug fitted. If an
extension lead is required, use an approved and com-
patible lead rated for this appliance. Follow all the
instruction supplied with the extension lead.
*Double insulated : This product requires no earth
connection as supplementary insulation is applied
to the basic insulation to protect against electric
shock in the event of failure of the basic insulation.
GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
h
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line volt-
age resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it
h
repaired by a qualified person before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, ex-
h
cessive heat and damp/wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This
h
circuit should be protected with the appropriate
time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to
the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF po-
sition and the electric voltage is rated the same as the
voltage stamped on the motor nameplate. Running
at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
