Cocraft PRO A850-M Bedienungsanleitung Seite 6

• Keep bystanders at a safe distance from the work area. Everyone who
visits the place of work must wear personal protective equipment. Debris from
the workpiece or from a damaged accessory can fly off and injure people outside
of the immediate work area.
• Only hold the power tool by its isolated grip when working in positions where
the cut-off wheel might possibly cut through hidden cables or its own mains
lead. Cut-off wheels which come in contact with an electric cable can electrify
metal parts of the power tool and subject the user to an electric shock.
• Position the mains lead well away from the rotating accessory. If you lose
control, the lead can be sliced through or become entangled and pull your hand
or arm into the rotating accessory.
• Never put the power tool down before the accessory has completely
stopped rotating. The rotating accessory can become stuck in the material
resulting in loss of control.
• Do not run the power tool when you are carrying it. Unintentional contact with
the rotating accessory can cause clothing to become caught and pull the tool
towards your body.
• Regularly clean the motor's ventilation ports. The motor's fan pulls in dust,
which gets inside the outer casing and a build up of this collected metal dust can
lead to electrical dangers.
• Do not use the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks can easily ignite
flammable material.
• Do not use accessories which require liquid coolants. The use of water or
other liquid coolants can result in electric shock or electrocution.
Kickback
A kickback is a sudden counteraction to a jammed or stuck disc, backing plate, brush,
or some other accessory. A jammed or stuck rotating accessory results in the power
tool thrusting violently in the opposite direction.
For example, if a grinding wheel gets stuck or is jammed into the object, the edge of
the grinding wheel can either grab onto the object and dig itself down deeper or be
thrust upward. The grinding wheel is either thrown towards or away from the user
depending on the rotation of the grinding wheel.
The grinding wheel can also break under these circumstances. Kickbacks are
the result of the power tool being used in an incorrect manner, on incorrect objects, or
under incorrect conditions and can be avoided by observing the following precautions.
• Hold the power tool steady and position your arms and body so that you can
adequately handle any kickback. Always use the side-handle if there is one for
maximum control during kickback and to be able to control the torque produced
by turning the angle grinder on. Kickbacks or reactions to torque can be controlled
by the user if the required safety precautions are followed.
