The permissible speed of the
c)
accessory tool used must be at
least as high as the maximum
speed specified for the power tool.
Accessories which rotate faster than the
maximum permissible rate can break and
throw pieces into the air.
Grinding tools should only be used
d)
for the recommended applications.
For example: Never grind with the side
surface of a cutting disc. Cutting discs
are designed to remove material with the
edge of the disc. Any lateral application of
force on these grinding tools can lead to a
breakage.
Always use an undamaged
e)
clamping flange of the correct size
and shape for the selected grinding
disc. Suitable flanges support the grinding
disc and reduce the risk of a disc breakage.
Do not use worn grinding discs from
f)
larger power tools. Grinding discs for
larger power tools are not designed for the
higher rotational speeds of smaller power
tools and can break.
The external diameter and thickness
g)
of the accessory tool used must
comply with the dimensions of your
power tool. Incorrectly dimensioned
accessory tools cannot be sufficiently
shielded or controlled.
Grinding discs and flanges must fit
h)
precisely onto the grinding spindle
of your power tool. Accessory tools
which do not fit precisely on the grinding
spindle of the power tool will rotate unevenly,
vibrate severely and can lead to a loss of
control.
16 GB/IE/NI
Do not use damaged grinding discs.
i)
Check the grinding discs before each use
for chips and cracks. If the power tool or
grinding disc is dropped, check to see if it
either are damaged, or use an undamaged
grinding disc. After checking and inserting
the grinding disc, ensure that you and any
other people in the vicinity remain outside of
the range of the rotating grinding disc and
allow the tool to rotate at maximum speed
for one minute. Damaged grinding discs
usually break during this test period.
Wear personal protective
j)
equipment. Depending on the
application, ensure that you use
full face protection, eye protection
or goggles. If required, use a
dust mask, ear muffs, protective
gloves or a special apron to protect
you from grindings and material
particles. Protect your eyes from flying
debris that may be created during certain
applications. Dust or filter masks must
be used to filter any dust created by the
application. If you are exposed to loud
noise for any length of time, you can suffer a
hearing loss.
Ensure that other people remain at
k)
a safe distance to your workspace.
Anyone who enters the workspace
must wear personal protective
equipment. Fragments of the workpiece or
broken accessory tools can fly off and cause
injury – even outside the immediate working
area.
