Noise And Vibration - Flex L 810 125 Notice D'instruction D'origine

L 810 125 / L 1001
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.
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side.

Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag
your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The motor's

fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive
accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical
hazards.
Do not operate the power tool near flammable mate-

rials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.

Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocu-
tion 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 ente-
ring 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 di-
rection of the wheel's movement at the point of pinching. Abra-
sive 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 position

your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback
forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for
maximum control over kickback or torque reaction du-
ring start-up. The operator can control torque reactions or
kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.

Accessory may kickback over your hand.
Do not position your body in the area where power tool

will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool
in direction opposite to the wheel's movement at the point
of snagging.
Use special care when working corners, sharp edges

etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory.
Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag
the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or
kickback.
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or too-

thed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback
and loss of control.
Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and Abrasive
Cutting-Off Operations
Use only wheel types that are recommended for your

power tool and the specific guard designed for the se-
lected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not de-
signed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
The grinding surface of centre depressed wheels must

be mounted below the plane of the guard lip. An impro-
perly mounted wheel that projects through the plane of the
guard lip cannot be adequately protected.
The guard must be securely attached to the power tool

and positioned for maximum safety, so the least
amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator.
The guard helps to protect the operator from broken wheel
fragments, accidental contact with wheel and sparks that
could ignite clothing.
Wheels must be used only for recommended applica-

tions. 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 are of cor-

rect size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper
wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possi-
bility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be
different from grinding wheel flanges.
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
Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pres-

sure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of
cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and su-
sceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and
the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
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 pro-
pel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
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.
Do not restart the cutting operation in the 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 restarted in the workpiece.
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.
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.
Additional safety instructions
The mains voltage and the voltage specifications on the ra-

ting plate must correspond.
Do not press the spindle lock until the grinding tool stops.

Noise and vibration

NOTE
Values for the A-weighted sound pressure level and for the
total vibration values can be found in the table on page 5.
The noise and vibration values have been determined in
accordance with EN 60745.
CAUTION!
The indicated measurements refer to new power tools.
Daily use causes the noise and vibration values to change.
