For Your Safety - Fein MOtlx 6-25 Originalbetriebsanleitung

For your safety.

Read all safety warnings and all
WARNING
instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
Do not use this pneumatic tool before you have
thoroughly read and completely understood this
Instruction Manual including the figures, specifi-
cations, safety regulations and the signs indicating
DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION.
Please also observe the relevant national industrial
safety regulations (e.g. in Germany: BGV A3).
Non-observance of the safety warnings in the specified
documentation can lead to serious injury.
This Instruction Manual should be kept for later use and
enclosed with the pneumatic tool when passing it on or
selling it.
Safety instructions.
1) Work place
a) Keep your work place clean and tidy. Untidiness and
bad lighting in the working area can lead to acci-
dents.
b) Do not operate the pneumatic hacksaw in the vicinity
of any flammable fluids, gases or dust particles
where there is risk of explosion. Pneumatic hack-
saws produce sparks that could ignite the dust or
vapours.
c) When using the pneumatic tool, keep children and
other persons at a safe distance away. If your mind
is diverted, you could lose control over the pneu-
matic tool.
2) Safety when handling compressed air
a) Check the compressed-air supply at regular inter-
vals. Protect the hose from bending, squeezing, heat
and sharp edges. Tighten the hose clamps firmly.
Make sure that damaged hoses and couplings are re-
paired immediately. If the air supply is defective, the
compressed air hose could suddenly toss around
and cause injuries. Dust and chippings flying up in
the air can cause eye injuries.
3) Personal safety and safety of others
a) Pay particular attention, be sure of what you are do-
ing and tackle the work you are going to do with your
pneumatic tool in a sensible manner. Do not use the
pneumatic tool if you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. One minute of care-
lessness whilst using the pneumatic tool can cause
severe personal injuries.
b) Wear your personal protective items and always
wear protective glasses. Wearing protective per-
sonal items such as a dust mask, sturdy shoes that
do not slip, a helmet or ear protection, depending
on the type of job to be done using the pneumatic
tool, reduces the risk of injuries.
c) Prevent the possibility of the machine starting acci-
dentally. Make absolutely sure that the switch is in
the "OFF" position before you connect the pneumatic
tool to the compressed-air supply. If your finger is
on the switch whilst you are carrying the pneu-
matic tool or if you connect the pneumatic tool to
the compressed-air supply whilst it is switched on,
this could cause accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting tools and wrenches before you
switch the pneumatic tool on. An adjusting tool or
wrench that has been left in a rotating part of the
pneumatic tool could cause injuries.
e) Do not over-estimate yourself. Make sure you have a
firm stance and can keep your balance at all times.
In this way you will have better control over the
pneumatic tool if anything unexpected happens.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear any baggy
clothes or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from any moving parts. Loose clothing,
jewellery or long hair could get caught in the mov-
ing parts.
4) Careful handling and use of pneumatic tools
a) Do not strain the pneumatic tool. Use the correct ap-
plication tool intended for your work. With the cor-
rect application tool you can work better and more
safely in the given power range.
b) Do not use a pneumatic tool with a defective switch.
A pneumatic tool that can no longer be switched
on or off is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the power supply before you undertake
any adjustments on the pneumatic tool, change the
accessories or place the pneumatic tool down some-
where. This precautionary measure prevents the
pneumatic tool from actuating accidentally.
d) Keep unused pneumatic tools out of the reach of chil-
dren. Do not allow anyone to use the pneumatic tool
who is not familiar with it and has not read these in-
structions. Pneumatic tools are dangerous if they
are used by inexperienced persons.
e) Look after the pneumatic tool with care. Check that
the moving parts of the pneumatic tool are function-
ing perfectly and do not jam, that none of the parts
are broken or damaged, and that the function of the
pneumatic tool is not impaired. Any damaged parts
should be repaired before using the pneumatic tool.
Many an accident has been caused by pneumatic
tools that have been badly kept.
f) Keep the cutting tools sharp and clean. Cutting tools
with sharp cutters that have been carefully looked
after are less likely to jam and are easier to guide.
g) Use the pneumatic tool, the accessories and the ap-
plication tools, etc., in accordance with these in-
structions and in the manner stipulated for this spe-
cial type of pneumatic tool. Take the working condi-
tions and the operation to be carried out into
consideration. Using pneumatic tools for applica-
tions other than those they are intended for, can
lead to dangerous situations.
h) Hold the pneumatic tool firmly in both hands and
make sure you have a firm stance. The pneumatic
tool can be guided more safely using both hands.
i) Secure the workpiece firmly. A work piece that is
gripped tightly in a clamping device or vice, is more
secure than if held by hand.
