PARTICULAR SAFETY WARNINGS FOR ROTARY TOOL
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.
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.
b) Never place your hand near the
rotating accessory. Accessory may
kickback over your hand.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) Do not attach a saw chain
woodcarving blade or toothed saw
blade. Such blades
kickback and loss of control.
Additional Safety instructions
for all cutting-off operations
WARNING!
Specific for Abrasive Cutting-Off
Operations:
a) Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or
apply excessive 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 breakage.
b) 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 propel the spinning wheel
and the power tool directly at you.
c) When wheel is binding or when
interrupting a cut for any reason,
create frequent
!
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.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation
in the work piece. Let the wheel reach
full speed and carefully reenter the cut.
The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback
if the power tool is restarted in the work
piece.
e) Support panels or any oversized
work piece 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 work piece near the line of cut and
near the edge of the work piece on both
sides of the wheel.
f) 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
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 instructions for
Polishing Operations
WARNING!
For Polishing Operations
a) Do not allow any loose portion of the
polishing bonnet or its attachment
strings to spin freely. Tuck away or trim
any loose attachment strings. Loose and
spinning attachment strings can entangle
your fingers or snag on the work piece.
