AEG WS 21-230 E - Manual (Page 11)

20 21 ENGLISH ENGLISH
e) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools.
Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable for the
higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
Additional Safety Warnings Specific for Abrasive
Cutting-Off Operations:
a) Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of
cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and
susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and
the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
b) Do not position your body in line with and behind the
rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation, is
moving away from your body, the possible kickback may propel
the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
c) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for
any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the power
tool motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop.
Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut
while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may
occur. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the
cause of wheel binding.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece.
Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully reenter the
cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool
is restarted in the workpiece.
e) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize
the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces
tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed
under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of
the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
f) Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into
existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel
may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can
cause kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations:
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper.
Follow manufacturers recommendations, when selecting
sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond the
sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause
snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing Operations:
a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even
during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the wires by
applying excessive load to the brush. The wire bristles can
easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b) If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing,
do not allow any interference of the wire wheel or brush
with the guard. Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter
due to work load and centrifugal forces.
Appliances used at many different locations including open air
should be connected via a residual current device of 30 mA or
less.
Dust and splinters must not be removed while the machine is
running.
Only plug-in when machine is switched off.
Never reach into the danger area of the tool when it is running.
Always use the auxiliary handle.
Immediately switch off the machine in case of considerable
vibrations or if other malfunctions occur. Check the machine in
order to find out the cause.
Always use and store the grinding disks according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
When grinding metal, flying sparks are produced. Take care
that no persons are endangered. Because of the danger of fire,
no combustible materials should be located in the vicinity
(spark flight zone). Do not use dust extraction.
Due care should be taken that no sparks or sanding dust flying
from the workpiece come into contact with you.
When separating stone the guide shoe must be used!
The adjusting nut must be tightened before starting to work with
the machine.
The workpiece must be fixed if it is not heavy enough to be
steady. Never lead the workpiece to the grinding disk with your
hand.
Under extreme conditions (e.g. smooth-grinding metals with the
arbour and vulcanized fibre grinding wheel), significant
contamination can build up on the inside of the angle grinder.
For safety reasons, in such conditions the inside should be
cleaned thoroughly of metal deposits and a motor circuit-
breaker must be connected in series. If the motor circuit-
breaker trips the machine must be sent for repair.
For accessories intended to be fitted with threaded hole wheel,
ensure that the thread in the wheel is long enough to accept
the spindle length.
For cutting or separating use a closed protection cap, available
as an accessory.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The angle grinder can be used to cut and rough-grind many
different materials, e.g. metal or stone, for grinding with a
plastic grinding plate and for operation with the wire brush.
Always follow the accessory manufacturer's instructions if you
are unsure about anything to do with the machine.
Do not use this product in any other way as stated for normal
use.
