Flex L 1710 FRA Notice D'instruction D'origine page 16

Wheels must be used only for recommen-

ded applications. For example: do not
grind with the side of cut-off wheel.
Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for
peripheral grinding; side forces applied to
these wheels may cause them to shatter.
Always use undamaged wheel flanges

that are of correct size and shape for your
selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges
support the wheel thus reducing the
possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for
cut-off wheels may be different from
grinding wheel flanges.
Do not use worn down wheels from larger

power tools. Wheel intended for larger
power tool is not suitable for the higher
speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
Additional Safety Warnings specific for
Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:
Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply

excessive pressure. Do not attempt to
make an excessive depth of cut.
Overstressing the wheel increases the
loading and susceptibility to twisting or
binding of the wheel in the cut and the
possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
Do not position your body in line with and

behind the rotating wheel. When the
wheel, at the point of operation, is moving
away from your body, the possible
kickback may propel the spinning wheel
and the power tool directly at you.
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 motion otherwise kickback may
occur. Investigate and take corrective
action to eliminate the cause of wheel
binding.
Do not restart the cutting operation in the

workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed
and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel
may bind, walk up or kickback 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.
16
Supports must be placed under the
workpiece 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 protruding wheel may cut gas or water
pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can
cause kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding
Operations:
Do not use excessively oversized sanding

disc paper. Follow manufacturers
recommendations, when selecting
sanding paper. Larger sanding paper
extending beyond the sanding pad
presents a laceration hazard and may
cause snagging, tearing of the disc, or
kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for
Operations (L 1506 VR/LE 14–7 125
INOX only):
Do not allow any loose portion of the

polishing bonnet or its attachment strings
to spin freely. Tuck away or trim any
loose attachment strings. Loose and
spinning attachment strings can entangle
your fingers or snag on the workpiece.
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire
Brushing Operations:
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
centrifugal forces.
Additional safety instructions
The mains voltage and the voltage

specifications on the rating plate
must correspond.
Do not press the spindle lock until

the grinding tool stops.
