Additional Safety Instructions - Meec tools 018600 Mode D'emploi

• The outer diameter and thickness of the
accessory must be within the rated
capacity of the power tool. Accessories of
the wrong size cannot be properly
protected and controlled.
• Threaded mounting of accessories must
match the spindle thread on the grinder.
For flange-fitted accessories, the spindle
hole must match the control diameter of
the flange. Accessories that do not fit the
attachments on the tool will be
unbalanced, vibrate excessively and can
cause you to lose control of the tool.
• Do not use damaged accessories. Before
using the tool always check the accessory
and make sure, for example, that the
edges of grinding discs are not damaged,
that there are no cracks or wear on the
backing pad, and that the steel brush
does not have any loose or damaged
bristles. If you drop the power tool or an
accessory, check that it is not damaged, or
fit an undamaged accessory. After
checking and fitting an accessory, position
yourself and other people in the vicinity
away from the direction of rotation of the
accessory and then run the tool at its
maximum no-load speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories will normally break
during this test period.
• Wear safety equipment. Depending on
the area of use, you should wear a visor,
goggles or safety glasses. When necessary
you should wear a dust mask, ear
protection, gloves and an apron that can
stop shavings and fragments from the
workpiece. The eye protection must be
able to stop flying debris produced by the
tool. The dust or breathing mask must be
able to filter out the particles produced by
the tool. Prolonged exposure to intense
noise can impair hearing.
• Keep onlookers at a safe distance from the
work area. Everyone coming into the work
area must wear personal safety
equipment. Fragments from the
workpiece, or from a defective accessory,
can be ejected and cause injury even
outside the actual work area.
• Hold the tool with the insulated grips if
there is a risk of coming into contact with
hidden wiring or the power cord to the
tool. When cutting accessories come into
contact with a live wire, unprotected metal
parts on the tool may become charged
and give the user an electric shock.
• Position the power cord so that it cannot
come into contact with the rotating
accessory. If you lose control, the power
cord can be cut or get stuck, and your
hand or arm could be pulled into the
rotating accessory.
• Never put down the power tool until the
accessory has completely stopped. The
rotating accessory can catch on the
surface and cause you to lose control of
the power tool.
• Do not run the tool while carrying it next
to you. Unintentional contact with the
rotating accessory can cause it to catch in
your clothes and pull it towards your body.
• Clean the ventilation grilles on the tool at
regular intervals. The motor fan sucks dust
into the tool casing and the accumulation
of metal powder can result in the risk of
electric shock.
• Do not use the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks can ignite
these materials.
• Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. The use of water or other liquid
coolants can cause an electric shock.

Kickback and other warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction when a rotating
disc, backing pad, brush or other accessory
jams or catches on something. Jamming or
catching will cause the rotating accessory to
block suddenly, which in turn can force the
power tool in the opposite direction to the
rotating accessory. For example, if a grinding
disc pinches or sticks in the workpiece,
