General safety advice for electrical power tools
Q
Special safety advice for
working with wire brushes
a) Bear in mind that wire brushes lose
pieces of wire during normal use. Do
not overload the wires by applying too
much pressure. Flying pieces of wire can very
easily penetrate thin clothing and / or skin.
b) Use a guard, if recommended, but make
sure that the wire brush does not come
into contact with the guard. The diameters
of disc brushes and cup brushes can increase
due to contact pressure and centripetal forces.
Q
Safety advice for
angle grinders
DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Do not
operate the device if the mains lead
or mains plug is damaged.
DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Do not
touch the mains lead if it becomes
damaged or cut through while you
are using the device. Pull the plug out of
the mains socket immediately and have the de-
vice repaired by a suitably qualified person or
at your service centre.
DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Do not
operate the device if it is damp and
do not use it in a damp environment.
DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! If you
use the device outdoors, always connect
it through a residual current device
(RCD) with a maximum trip current of
30 mA. If using an extension lead, always use
one that is approved for outdoor use.
Do not suspend or carry the device by
the mains lead. Always work with the
mains lead leading away from the
rear of the device. otherwise the device
could be damaged.
Grinding discs must be carefully kept
and handled in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions. otherwise
they could be damaged.
Make sure that abrasive consumables
and tools are attached in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions
and advice. otherwise they could become
detached from the device and result in injury
and / or damage to property.
Ensure that any spacers supplied and
required for the use of certain abrasive
consumables and tools are installed.
Do not use separate reducing bushes
or adapters in order to make grinding
discs with a larger bore fit.
When using abrasive consumables
and tools with a threaded insert make
sure that the tread is long enough for
the spindle length. otherwise the grinding
discs could become detached from the device
and result in injury and / or damage to property.
Do not allow the end of the spindle
to contact the base of the hole in the
abrasive consumable.
Do not work in areas where there may
be concealed electricity cables or gas
or water pipes. Use a suitable detector
or ask your local utility service pro-
viders. Contact with electricity cables can
lead to fire or electric shock. Damaging a gas
pipe can lead to an explosion. Penetration of a
water pipe can lead to property damage or to
electric shock.
NOxIOUS FUMES!
Working with harmful / noxious dusts represents
a risk to the health of the person operating the
device and to anyone near the work area.
When working on metal for longer
periods, connect the tool to a suitable
external extraction system.
Ensure that there is adequate ventila-
tion when working on plastic, paint,
varnish etc.
Do not soak the materials or the sur-
face you are about to work on with
liquids containing solvents.
DANGER OF INJURy! Wear close-fitting
clothing and keep long hair inside a
hairnet or suitable headwear.
