Further Safety Instructions For All Operations - Worx MAKERX Mode D'emploi

o) After changing the bits or making any adjustments, make sure the collet
nut, chuck or any other adjustment devices are securely tightened. Loose
adjustment devices can unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control, loose rotating
components will be violently thrown.
p) 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.
q) 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.
r) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
s) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid
coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
t) Instruction that the maximum recommended diameter of mounted wheels , threaded
cones and plugs shall not exceed 2" (55mm)and that the maximum recommended
diameter of sanding accessories shall not exceed 3" (80mm).

FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL OPERATIONS

Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, sanding band, brush
EN
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
6
accessory's rotation.
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.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow
you to resist kickback forces. The operator can control kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
b) 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.
c) Do not attach a toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of
control.
d) Always feed the bit into the material in the same direction as the cutting
edge is exiting from the material (which is the same direction as the chips are
thrown). Feeding the tool in the wrong direction causes the cutting edge of the bit to
climb out of the work and pull the tool in the direction of this feed.
e) When using rotary files, cut-off wheels, high-speed cutters or tungsten carbide
cutters, always have the work securely clamped. These wheels will grab if they
