en ENGLISH must be capable of filtering particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss. i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation. j) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. k) Use only grinding media approved for your guard. Grinding media for which the guard was not designed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe. l) The guard must be securely attached to the power tool. Always direct the power tool so that the wheel is not openly exposed to the operator. The guard helps to protect the operator from broken fragments, accidental contact with the grinding media and sparks which could ignite clothing. m) Grinding media must be used only for recommended applications. 3.2 Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding with Diamond Cup Wheels: d) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are the correct size and shape for your selected accessories. The correct flanges support the accessories. 3.3 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 sanding disc paper or kickback. 3.4 Additional Safety Instructions: WARNING - Always wear protective goggles. Wear a suitable dust protection mask. Do not use bonded discs. Observe the specifications of the accessory manufacturer! Protect the accessories from grease and physical impact. Accessories must be stored and handled with care in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Secure small workpieces. For example, clamp in a vice. The workpiece must lay flat and be secured against slipping, e.g. using clamps. Large workpieces must 8 be sufficiently supported. Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools must not be used. Only use accessories that are surmounted by brushes of the safety guard. Ensure that the spot where you wish to work is free of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g. using a metal detector). Pull the plug out of the socket before making any adjustments, converting or servicing the machine. Read the operating instructions supplied with the installed angle grinder. Reduce dust exposure: Some dust created by using this power tool may contain chemicals known to cause cancer, allergic reaction, respiratory disease, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: Lead from leadbased paints, crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber, hard wood like oak or beech, Asbestos. The risk from these exposures depends on how long you or bystanders are being exposed. Do not let particles enter the body. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. Observe the relevant guidelines for your material, staff, application and place of application (e.g. occupational health and safety regulations, disposal). Collect the generated particles at the source, avoid deposits in the surrounding area. Replace worn brushes (see chapter 8.), thus less particles enter the environment in an uncontrolled manner. Use a suitable extraction unit. Reduce dust exposure with the following measures: - Do not direct the escaping particles and the exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons or on dust deposits. - Use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers - Ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep clean using a vacuum cleaner Sweeping or blowing stirs up dust - Vacuum or wash the protective clothing Do not blow, beat or brush 4.
