Kickback And Related Warnings - Würth SWS 12-125-T SOLID Originalbetriebsanleitung

Do not run the power tool while carry-
m)
ing it at your side. Accidental contact with
the spinning accessory could snag your clothing,
pulling the accessory into your body.
Regularly clean the power tool's air
n)
vents. The motor's fan will draw the dust inside
the housing and excessive accumulation of pow-
dered metal may cause electrical hazards.
Do not operate the power tool near
o)
flammable materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
Do not use accessories that require
p)
liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid
coolants may result in electrocution or shock.

Kickback and Related Warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or
any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes
rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn
causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in
the direction opposite to the accessory's rotation at
the point of jamming.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or
pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel
that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the
surface of the material causing the wheel to climb
out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward
or away from the operator, depending on direction
of the wheel's movement at the point of pinching.
Abrasive wheels may also break under these
conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below.
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool
a)
and position your body and arm to
allow you to resist kickback forces. Al-
ways use the auxiliary handle, if provid-
ed, for maximum control over kickback
or torque reaction during start-up. The
operator can control torque reactions or kickback
forces, if proper precautions are taken.
Special safety instructions
b)
ing accessory. Accessory may kickback over
your hand.
Do not position your body in the area
c)
where power tool will move if kickback
occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in direction
opposite to the wheel's movement at the point of
snagging
d)
corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bounc-
ing and snagging the accessory. Corners,
sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag
the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or
kickback.
e)
blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades
create frequent kickback and loss of control.
Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding
and Cutting-Off Operations:
a)
mended for your power tool and the
specific guard designed for the selected
wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not
designed cannot be adequately guarded and are
unsafe.
b)
pressed wheels must be mounted below
the plane of the guard lip. An improperly
mounted wheel that projects through the plane of
the guard lip cannot be adequately protected.
The guard must be securely attached
c)
to the power tool and positioned for
maximum safety, so the least amount of
wheel is exposed towards the operator.
The guard helps to protect the operator from bro-
ken fragments, accidental contact with the wheel
and sparks which could ignite clothing.
d)
mended applications. For example: do
not grind with the side of the cut-off
wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for
peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these
wheels may cause them to shatter.
Never place your hand near the rotat-
