Berner BAGX 125 1300W Notice Originale page 19

Do not operate the power tool near flam-
u
mable materials. Sparks could ignite these ma-
terials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid
u
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 of the accessory's
rotation at the point of the binding.
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 and po-
u
sition your body and arm to allow you to res-
ist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary
handle, if provided, 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.
Never place your hand near the rotating ac-
u
cessory. Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
Do not position your body in the area where
u
power tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in direction oppos-
ite to the wheel's movement at the point of
snagging.
Use special care when working corners,
u
sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snag-
ging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or
bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating
accessory and cause loss of control or kick-
back.
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade
u
or toothed saw blade. Such blades create fre-
quent kickback and loss of control.
Safety Warnings specific for Grinding and
Abrasive Cutting-Off operations
Use only wheel types that are recommended
u
for your power tool and the specific guard de-
signed for the selected wheel. Wheels for
1 609 92A 4ZV • 9.4.19
which the power tool was not designed cannot
be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
The grinding surface of centre depressed
u
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 to the
English
u
power tool and positioned for maximum
safety, so the least amount of wheel is ex-
posed towards the operator. The guard helps
to protect operator from broken wheel frag-
ments, accidental contact with wheel and
sparks that could ignite clothing.
Wheels must be used only for recommended
u
applications. For example: do not grind with
the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off
wheels are intended for peripheral grinding,
side forces applied to these wheels may cause
them to shatter.
Always use undamaged wheel flanges that
u
are of correct size and shape for your selec-
ted wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the
wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel
breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be
different from grinding wheel flanges.
Do not use worn down wheels from larger
u
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
Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply ex-
u
cessive 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 break-
age.
Do not position your body in line with and be-
u
hind 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.
When wheel is binding or when interrupting a
u
cut for any reason, switch off the power tool
and hold the power tool motionless until the
wheel comes to a complete stop. Never at-
tempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the
cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise
kickback may occur. Investigate and take cor-
rective action to eliminate the cause of wheel
binding.
English Do not restart the cutting operation in the
u
workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed
and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may
bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is re-
started in the workpiece.
