SPARKY PMW 1212CE Notice Originale page 8

inspecting and installing an accessory,
position yourself and bystanders away
from the plane of the rotating accessory
and run the power tool at maximum no-
load speed for one minute. Damaged ac-
cessories will normally break apart during
this test time.
h) Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety glasses.
As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or
workpiece fragments. The eye protection
must be capable of stopping flying debris
generated by various operations. The dust
mask or respirator must be capable of fil-
trating particles generated by your opera-
tion. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away
from work area. Anyone entering the
work area must wear personal protec-
tive equipment. Fragments of workpiece
or of a broken accessory may fly away and
cause injury beyond immediate area of op-
eration.
▪ Use clamps or a vice to secure your
work whenever possible.
▪ Do not apply side pressure to stop the
pad rotation after switching the machine
off.
▪ Guide the machine towards the proc-
essed material only if the machine is
switched on.
j) Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory. If you lose control, the cord
may be cut or snagged and your hand or
arm may be pulled into the spinning acces-
sory.
k) Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop.
The spinning accessory may grab the sur-
face and pull the power tool out of your con-
trol.
l) Do not run the power tool while carrying
it at your side. Accidental contact with the
spinning accessory could snag your cloth-
ing, pulling the accessory into your body.
m) Regularly clean the power tool's air
vents. The motor's fan will draw the dust
inside the housing and excessive accumu-
lation of powdered metal may cause electri-
cal hazards.

n) Do not operate the power tool near flam-
mable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
▪ The tool must be used only for its pre-
scribed purpose. Any use other than
those mentioned in this Instruction will
be considered a case of misuse. The
user and not the manufacturer shall be li-
able for any damage or injury resulting from
such cases of misuse.
▪ The manufacturer shall not be liable for
any changes made to the tool nor for any
damage resulting from such changes.
▪ When operating in dusty environment,
the ventilation slots must be kept clean.
If it should become necessary to clear
dust, first disconnect the tool from the
mains supply (use non metallic objects
to clean the dust) and avoid damaging
internal parts. The power tool will over-
heat under deteriorated cooling due to the
clogged with dust ventilation slots.
▪ Power tools must not be used outdoors
in rainy weather, or in moist environ-
ment (after rain) or in close vicinity with
easily flammable liquids and gases. The
working place should be well lit.

Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged 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 ac-
cessory's rotation at the point of the binding.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/
or incorrect operating procedures or conditions
and can be avoided by taking proper precau-
tions as given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool
and position your body and arm to al-
low you to resist kickback forces. Al-
ways use auxiliary handle, if provided,
for maximum control over kickback or
torque reaction during start-up. The
operator can control torque reactions or
kickback forces, if proper precautions are
taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory. Accessory may kickback over
your hand.
