grinding plates for cracks, wear
or strong abrasion and wire
brushes for loose or broken
wires before using them. If the
power tool or the attachment
tool falls off, check whether it is
damaged or use an undamaged
attachment tool. If you have
checked the attachment tool and
attached it, keep yourself and
any nearby persons out of the
plane of the rotating attachment
tool and allow the device to run
for 1 min. at the highest rota-
tional speed. Damaged tools usually
break during this test period.
h) Wear personal protective equip-
ment. Depending on the applica-
tion, use full face shields, eye
protection or safety goggles. In
so far as it is appropriate, wear
dust masks, ear protection,
gloves or special aprons which
keep small grinding and mate-
rial particles away from you.
Eyes should be protected from the
foreign matter which can be caused to
fly during the various applications. Dust
or breathing masks should filter the dust
that is created during operation. If you
are exposed to loud noise for a long
time, you may suffer hearing loss.
i) Ensure that other people are at
a safe distance from your work-
ing area. Anyone who enters
the working area must wear
personal protective equipment.
Broken bits from the piece being
worked or broken attachment tools can
fly away and cause injuries even be-
yond the direct working area.
j) Only hold the electric tool by
the insulated gripping surfaces
when performing work in which
the cutting tool may come into
contact with hidden wiring. Con-
tact with a live wire can also cause a
charge in metal parts of the appliance
and result in an electric shock.
k) Never put the power tool down
before the attachment tool has
come to a full stop. The rotating
attachment tool can come into contact
with the surface upon which it is set,
whereby you could lose control of the
power tool.
l) Never allow the power tool to
run whilst you are carrying it.
Your clothing may accidentally come
into contact with the rotating attach-
ment tool and get caught and the
attachment tool could drill into your
body.
m) Clean the ventilation slits of
your power tool regularly. The
motor air pulls dust into the housing
and, should too much metallic dust col-
lect, could cause electrical hazards.
n) Never use the power tool near
flammable material. Sparks could
ignite this material.
o) Do not use attachment tools
which require liquid coolant.
Using water or another liquid coolant
could lead to electrical shock.
Special safety instructions
for polishing
a) Do not allow any part of the polisher
guard, in particular the fastening
straps, to come loose. Stow away or
shorten the fastening straps. Any loose,
rotating fastening strap could catch on
your finger or become caught in the
workpiece.
