Safety Warnings Specific For Wire Brushing Opera-Tions - Casals AG115500 Notice Originale

When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut
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
mo-tion 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-
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
minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback.
Large workpieces tend to sag under their own
weight. Supports must be placed under the work-
piece 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
existing walls or other blind areas. The protrud-ing
wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring
or objects that can cause kickback.
Safety warnings specific for sanding opera-
tions
Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc
paper. Follow manufacturers recommendations,
when selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding
pa-per extending beyond the sanding pad presents
a lac-eration hazard and may cause snagging,
tearing of the disc, or kickback.
Safety warnings specific for wire brushing
opera-tions
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush
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
brushing, 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
centrifu-gal forces.
Additional safety warnings
Not recommended for use in conjunction with a
cut-off stand.
CAUTION: In order to prevent overheating do not
cover the appliance.
Ensure that neither the air access nor exit become
either totally or partially covered by drapery, cloth-
ing, etc., as this increases the risk of fire.
Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The mo-
tor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing and
excessive accumulation of powdered metal may
cause electrical hazards.
Do not use the appliance if the cable or plug is
dam-aged.
Ensure that the voltage indicated on the rating
label matches the mains voltage before plugging in
the appliance.
If any of the appliance casings breaks, immediately
disconnect the appliance from the mains to prevent
the possibility of an electric shock.
Do not use the appliance if it has fallen on the
floor, if there are visible signs of damage or if it has
a leak.
CAUTION: Maintain the appliance dry.
Do not use the appliance with damp hands or feet,
or when barefooted.
Do not wrap the power cord around the appliance.
Do not clip or crease the power cord.
Check the state of the power cord. Damaged or
tan-gled cables increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not touch the plug with wet hands.
Ensure that the resulting sparks not become
danger-ous, for example, that they don't reach
people or ignite flammable substances.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure
than by hand.
When using the angle grinder make sure that the
workpiece is securely clamped to a work bench or
vice.
When working with the machine, always hold it
firmly with both hands and provide for a secure
stance. The power tool is guided more secure with
both hands.
Before using the appliance check the working
speed shown in the disc/ tool is equal or greater
than the ap-pliance's speed.
Before using the appliance check the disc / tool di-
mensions are compatible for this appliance.
Before using the appliance ensure that the disc /
tool is properly fixed in place.
Allow the angle grinder to reach it's optimum
speed before commencing work
Apply the machine to the workpiece only when
switched on and switch the machine off only after
it has been lifted away from the workpiece. The
power tool can move suddenly.
Apply the machine to the workpiece only when
switched on. Otherwise there is danger of kickback
when the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
Do not touch any of the appliance's moving parts
while it is operating.
Do not grind any material containing asbestos.
Work-ing with asbestos and/or silica wheel, the
dust pro-duced is harmful for health. Prevent
inhalation of these types of dust by following the
appropriate health and safety regulations.
Do not touch the grinding disc after operation. The
