cause injury beyond immediate area of
operation.
l) Hold the power tool by insulated grip-
ping surfaces only, when performing
an operation where the cutting acces-
sory may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a
"live" wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
m) Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory. If you lose control, the cord
may be cut or snagged and your hand
or arm may be pulled into the spinning
wheel.
n) Never lay the power tool down until
the accessory has come to a complete
stop. The spinning wheel may grab the
surface and pull the power tool out of your
control.
o) Do not run the power tool while car-
rying it at your side. Accidental contact
with the spinning accessory could snag
your clothing, pulling the accessory into
your body.
p) Regularly clean the power tool's air
vents. The motor's fan will draw the dust
inside the housing and excessive accu-
mulation of powdered metal may cause
electrical hazards.
q) Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
r) Do not use accessories that require
liquid coolants. Using water or other liq-
uid coolants may result in electrocution or
shock.

Kickback and related warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel. Pinching or snagging
causes rapid stalling of the rotating wheel which
in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be
forced in the direction opposite of the wheel'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,

depending on direction of the wheel's move-
ment 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 precau-
tions as given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool
and position your body and arm to al-
low you to resist kickback forces. Al-
ways 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 rotat-
ing accessory. Accessory may kickback
over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in line with
the rotating wheel. Kickback will propel
the tool in direction opposite to the wheel's
movement at the point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working cor-
ners, 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, woodcarv-
ing blade, segmented diamond wheel
with a peripheral gap greater than 10
mm or toothed saw blade. Such blades
create frequent kickback and loss of con-
trol.
f) Do not "jam" the wheel or apply exces-
sive pressure. Do not attempt to make
an excessive depth of cut. Overstress-
ing the wheel increases the loading and
susceptibility to twisting or binding of the
wheel in the cut and the possibility of kick-
back or wheel breakage.
g) When wheel is binding or when inter-
rupting a cut for any reason, switch off
the power tool and hold the power tool
motionless until the wheel comes to
a complete stop. Never attempt to re-
move the wheel from the cut while the
wheel is in motion otherwise kickback
may occur. Investigate and take correc-
tive action to eliminate the cause of wheel
binding.
h) 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 work-
piece.
