filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may
cause hearing loss.
9- Keep bystanders at a safe distance away from the working area. Anyone entering the work
area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken
accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
10- Always position the power cord clear of the moving accessory. Should you lose control of
the tool, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning
accessory.
11- Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the
housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
15- Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
3.4- Specific Safety Instructions for grinding operation
a- Use only disk types that are recommended for your tool and the specific guard designed for
the selected disk. Disks for which the tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded and are
unsafe.
b- 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
operator from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel and sparks that could
ignite clothing.
c- Disks must be used only for their recommended applications. For example: do not grind with
the side or edge of the wheel/disk., side forces applied to these disks may cause them to shatter.
d- Always use undamaged disk flanges that are of correct size and shape for your selected
disk. Proper disk flanges support the disk thus reducing the possibility of disk breakage. Flanges
for polishing disks may be different from grinding disk flanges.
e- Do not use worn out accessories from larger power tools. Accessories intended for larger
power tools are not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
3.5- Specific Safety Instructions for sanding operations
Do not use oversized sandpaper pads for sanding belts.
Follow manufacturers' recommendations when selecting sandpaper.
Larger sandpaper protruding beyond the sanding belt presents a laceration hazard and may cause
a fixing, tear the belt.
3.6- Specific Safety Instructions for wire brush operations
a- Keep in mind that metal strands are ejected by the wire brush even during ordinary
operation.
Do not subject the metal wires to excessive stress by applying excessive load onto the brush.
The metal strands can easily penetrate light clothing and / or skin.
b- If the use of a protective cover is recommended for wire brushing, prevent the cup brush
or wire brush to hinder on the protective cover.
The cup brush or wire brush may expand in diameter due to the workload and centrifugal forces.
3.7- Additional Safety Instructions
a- Wear safety goggles
b- Set the On/Off switch to the "OFF" position when the power supply is interrupted, e. g., in
case of a power failure or when the mains plug is pulled. This prevents uncontrolled restarting.
c- Keep your workplace clean. The mixture of materials is particularly dangerous. Dust from
light alloys can burn or explode.
d- Never use the tool with a damaged cable. Do not touch the damaged cable and pull the
mains plug when the cable is damaged while working.
