Additional Safety Notes for Grinding and Cutting
Always use the safety hood intended for the kind of attachment you are using.
The safety hood must be securely at
attached and be adjusted in such a way that the highest possible degree of
safety is achieved, e. G. the smallest possible part of the spinning attachment
pointing to the operator is free. The safety hood is intended to protect the
operator from flying debris, fragments of a fractured disc and accidental
contact with the attachment.
Use only discs intended for your electric tool and the safety hood intended for
these discs. Discs not intended for the electric tool cannot be covered in a
suitable way and are unsafe.
Use discs only for the purpose they are intended for by the manufacturer.
Never use the side of a cutting disc for grinding. Cutting discs are intended for
cutting only. Lateral forces may cause fracture.
Always use undamaged flanges of the correct size and shape for your cutting
disc. The correct flanges support the disc and reduce the risk of a disc fracture.
Flanges for cutting discs can differ from those for grinding discs.
Do not use worn-down discs from larger electric tools, these are not intended
for the fast speeds of smaller electric tools and may fracture.
Avoid blocking the disc and do not use excessive pressure. Do not attempt
excessively deep cuts. Excessive loads on the cutting disc increase the stress
and make it more prone to jamming or blocking and increase the risk of
kickback of fracture.
Avoid the area directly in front or behind the spinning discs. If the cutting part
of the disc is moving away from you, the electric tool with the spinning disc
can be thrown back at you in the case of a kickback.
If the disc becomes stuck or locked in the workpiece or you intend to interrupt
your work, turn off the electric tool and hold it tightly until the disc has come
to a complete standstill. Never
attempt to lift the spinning disc out of the cut, this may cause kickback. Verify
and remove the cause for the stoppage.
Do not turn on the electric tool while the disc is in the workpiece. Allow the
disc to reach full speed before carefully resuming the cut. Otherwise the disc
may jam, jump out of the cut or kick back.
Support sheets or large workpieces to reduce the risk of a kickback caused by
the disc being wedged in the workpiece. Larger workpieces may deform under
their own weight. The workpiece must be supported on both sides, on the
edges as well as close to the cut.
