m) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spin-
ning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
n) 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.
o) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these mate-
rials.
p) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants
may result in electrocution 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 accesso-
ry'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 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, de-
pending on direction of the wheel's movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may al-
so 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. 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 snag-
ging.
d) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snag-
ging 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 create
frequent kickback and loss of control.
Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and Cutting-Off Operations:
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended 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 centre 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 the operator from broken fragments, accidental contact with the wheel and sparks which
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 se-
lected 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. Wheels intended for larger power
tools are not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
