Safety Warnings Specific For Grinding And Abrasive Cuttingoff Operations - Black & Decker BDEG400 Manuel D'instructions

control or kickback.
e) do not attach a saw chain
woodcarving blade or toothed saw
blade. Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control.
SAfeTy WARNINGS
SPecIfIc foR GRINdING
ANd ABRASIve cuTTING-
off oPeRATIoNS
a) use only wheel types that are re-
commended for your power tool and
the specific guard designed for the
selected wheel. Wheels for which the
power tool was not designed cannot be
adequately guarded and are unsafe.
b) The grinding surface of center
depressed 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.
c) 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 operator from
broken wheel fragments, accidental
contact with wheel and sparks that
could ignite clothing.
d) Wheels must be used only for
recommended 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.
e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges
that are of correct size and shape for
your selected 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.
f) 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.
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 and centrifugal forces.
c) Safety glasses: Safety Goggles or safety
glasses with side shields and a full face
shield compliant with ANSI Z87.1 eye
protection (CAN/CPA Z94.3), must be worn
by the operator and others that are within
50 feet of the use of this product/accessory.
AddITIONAL SAFETY INFORmATION
WARNING:
cut-off abrasive or diamond wheels.
WARNING:
personal hearing protection that
conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)
during use. Under some conditions and
duration of use, noise from this product
may contribute to hearing loss.
WARNING:
glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT
safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask
if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS
WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING:
power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to the state of
california to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• c rystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from
chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust
from power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction
