be prevented by appropriate precautions as
described below.
Hold the electric power tool firmly and
position your body and arms to allow you to
absorb kickback forces. If fitted, always
use the auxiliary handle to ensure the best
possible control over the recoil forces or
reaction torques when acceleration occurs.
The operator can control kickback and
reaction forces by taking appropriate
precautions.
Keep your hands away from the rotating
insertion tool. The insertion tool may
kickback over your hand.
Keep your body out of the area into which
the electric power tool moves when a recoil
occurs. Kickback propels the electric
power tool in the direction opposite to the
movement of the polisher at the point of
pinching.
Work especially carefully near corners,
sharp edges, etc. Prevent the insertion tool
from recoiling off the workpiece and
jamming. The rotating insertion tool has
a tendency to snag on corners, sharp
edges or if it bounces. This causes a loss of
control or kickback.
Do not use a chain or toothed saw blade.
Such insertion tools frequently cause
a kickback or the loss of control of the
electric power tool.
Double insulation for safer
operation
To ensure safer operation of this power tool,
FLEX has adopted a double insulation design.
"
"
Double insulation
separated insulation systems have been used
to insulate the electrically conductive
materials connected to the power supply from
the outer frame handled by the operator.
Therefore, either the symbol
"
"
Double insulation
or on the nameplate.
Although this system has no external
grounding, you must still follow the normal
electrical safety precautions given in this
Instruction Manual, including not using the
power tool in wet environments.
means that two physically
or the words
appear on the power tool
To keep the double insulation system
effective, follow these precautions:
–
Only FLEX AUTHORIZED SERVICE
CENTER should disassemble or
assemble this power tool, and only
genuine FLEX replacement parts should
be installed.
–
Clean the exterior of the power tool only
with a soft cloth moistened with soapy
water, and dry thoroughly.
–
Never use solvents, gasoline or thinners
on plastic components; otherwise the
plastic may dissolve.
Additional safety instructions
The mains voltage and the voltage
specifications on the rating plate must
correspond.
Do not press the spindle lock until the tool
stops.
Noise and vibration
The noise and vibration values have been
determined in accordance with EN 60745.
The A evaluated noise level of the power
tool is typically:
–
Sound pressure level . . . . . 80 dB(A);
–
Sound power level . . . . . . . . 91 dB(A);
–
Uncertainty . . . . . . . . . . . . . K = 3 dB.
Total vibration value (when polishing
painted surfaces):
–
Emission value . . . . . . . a
–
Uncertainty . . . . . . . . . . K = 1.5 m/s
CAUTION!
The indicated measurements refer to new
power tools. Daily use causes the noise and
vibration values to change.
NOTE
The vibration emission level given in this
information sheet has been measured in
accordance with a standardised test given
in EN 60745 and may be used to compare
one tool with another. It may be used for
a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level
represents the main applications of the tool.
