Fein CCG18-115-10PD-SEC AS Mode D'emploi page 31

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 com-
plete 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 work-
pieces 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.
Safety warnings specific for sanding operations
Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper.
Follow manufacturers recommendations, when select-
ing 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 oper-
ations
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.
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 load and centrifugal forces.
Further safety warnings
Do not use a damaged power tool. Before each use of
the power tool, check the housing and other compo-
nents for damage such as cracks or breakage.
Do not wear easily flammable clothing. Sparks could
cause such clothing to ignite.
Use elastic spacers/liners when these are provided with
the grinding accessory.
Offset grinding discs must be mounted in such a man-
ner that their grinding surface is 2 mm below the bot-
tom edge the of the wheel guard. Grinding accessories
that do not meet these requirements cannot be ade-
quately covered off and are not permitted.
Make sure that the application tools are mounted in
accordance with the manufacturers instructions. The
mounted application tools must be able to rotate freely.
Incorrectly mounted application tools can become
loose during operation and be thrown from the
machine.
Handle grinding accessories carefully and store them
according to the manufacturer's instructions. Damaged
grinding accessories can develop cracks and burst dur-
ing operation.
When using application tools with a threaded insert,
take care that the thread in the application tool is long
enough to hold the spindle length of the power tool. The
thread in the application tool must match the thread on
the spindle. Incorrectly mounted application tools can
loosen during operation and cause injuries.
Do not direct the power tool against yourself, other per-
sons or animals. Danger of injury from sharp or hot
application tools.
Beware of any concealed electric cables, gas or water
conduits. Check the working area before commencing
work, e. g. with a metal detector.
Use a stationary extraction system and frequently blow
out the ventilation slots. When working metal under
extreme operating conditions, it is possible for conduc-
tive dust to settle in the interior of the power tool. The
total insulation of the power tool can be impaired.
Do not rivet or screw any name-plates or signs onto the
power tool. If the insulation is damaged, protection
against an electric shock will be ineffective.
Always work with the auxiliary handle. The auxiliary
handle ensures reliable guiding of the power tool.
Never look or stare into the light of the power tool's
lamp from a short distance. Never point the light of the
lamp into the eyes of other persons in close vicinity.
The radiation produced by the lamp can be harmful for
the eye.
After working gypsum-containing materials: Blow out
the ventilation openings of the power tool and the
switch element with dry and oil-free compressed air.
Otherwise, gypsum-containing dust can settle in the
power tool housing and switch element, which can
harden in connection with humidity. This can impair the
switching mechanism.
Use and handling of the battery (battery pack).
These safety warnings apply only for 18V FEIN AMP-
Share Li-ion batteries.
Use the battery only in AMPShare partner products. 18V
batteries marked with AMPShare are fully compatible
with the following products:
– All products of the FEIN-18V-AMPShare system
– All 18V products from AMPShare partners.
When working with and charging incorrect, damaged,
repaired or reconditioned batteries, imitations or other
brands, there is danger of fire and/or explosion.
Observe the battery recommendations in the operating
instructions for your product. Only in this way can the
battery and the product be operated safely, and the bat-
teries are protected from dangerous overload.
Only charge the batteries with chargers recommended
by FEIN or one of the AMPShare partners. A charger that
is suitable one type of battery pack may create a risk of
fire when used with another battery pack.
