Kickback And Related Warnings - Batavia MAXXPACK BT-CAG001 Mode D'emploi

English
position yourself and bystanders away
from the plane of the rotating acces-
sory and run the power tool at maxi-
mum no-load speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories will normally break
apart during this test time.
h. Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust
mask, hearing protectors, gloves and
workshop apron capable of stopping
small abrasive or workpiece fragments.
The eye protection must be capable of
stopping flying debris generated by vari-
ous operations. The dust mask or respira-
tor must be capable of filtrating 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 protec-
tive equipment. Fragments of workpiece
or of a broken accessory may fly away and
cause injury beyond immediate area of
operation.
j. Hold the power tool by insulated grip-
ping surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring. Cutting
accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
k. Position power cords clear of the spin-
ning accessory. If you lose control, the
cord may be cut or snagged and your
hand or arm may be pulled into the spin-
ning accessory.
l. Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete
stop. The spinning accessory may grab
the surface and pull the power tool out of
your control.
m. Do not run the power tool while carry-
ing it at your side. Accidental contact
with the spinning accessory could snag
your clothing, pulling the accessory into
your body.

n. Regularly clean the power tool's air
vents. The motor's fan will draw the dust
inside the housing and excessive accumu-
lation of powdered metal may cause elec-
trical hazards.
o. Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
p. Do not use accessories that require
liquid coolants. Using water or other
liquid coolants may result in electrocution
or shock.

KICKBACK AND RELATED WARNINGS

Kickback is the sudden reaction of a wedged
or locked spinning attachment such as a grind-
ing or sanding disc or a wire brush etc. This
causes the spinning attachment to come to a
sudden stop, which will force the electric tool
against the rotating direction of the
attachment.
If, for instance, a cutting disc becomes locked
or jammed in the work piece, the edge of the
disc may fracture inside the work piece and
cause a violent kickback. The disc will then
move away from or towards the operator,
depending on the direction of rotation on the
locking point. This may also shatter the disc.
Kickback is caused by wrong or inappropriate
use of the tool and can be avoided by following
the safety advice below.
a. Hold the electric tool tightly with both
hands and assume a position, in which
you can compensate a kickback. If
present, use the accessory handle to
be able to control kickback and coun-
termovement of the running motor. With
the necessary precautions the operator
can control all forces of kickback and
countermovement.
b. Keep your hand away from the spinning
attachment. A kickback can throw the
attachment onto your hand.
c. Keep your body out of the area into
which the tool is thrown by a kickback.
The tool is thrown into the direction
reverse to the direction of the disc at the
locking point.
d. Use extreme care when working
around edges or sharp corners. Make
