your - Never lay the power tool down until the accessory
has come to a complete stop. The spinning acces-
least sory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out
ower of your control.
speed - Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your
side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory
ur ac- could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into
your your body.
ot be - Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The
motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing and
ds or excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause
dle of electrical hazards.
at do - Do not operate the power tool near flammable ma-
ol will terials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
cause - Do not use accessories that require liquid cool-
ants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
h use electrocution or shock.
ls for
ar or Kickback and related warnings
wires. - Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
ct for snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any
After other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid
sition stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn causes
of the the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction
maxi-
opposite of the accessory's rotation at the point of the
d ac- binding. For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged
time. or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that
is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface
nding of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick
es or out. The wheel may either jump toward or away from
mask, the operator, depending on direction of the wheel's
n ca- movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels
frag- may also break under these conditions.
pping - Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or in-
e dust correct operating procedures or conditions and can be
rticles avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
- Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position
ure to
your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback
work forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for
r per- maximum control over kickback or torque reaction
piece during start-up. The operator can control torque reac-
injury tions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
- Never place your hand near the rotating acces-
faces sory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
e cut- - Do not position your body in the area where
or its power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback
wire will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel's
"live" movement at the point of snagging.
- Use special care when working corners, sharp
sory. edges, etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the ac-
be cut cessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a
to the tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause
loss of control or kickback.
- Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or
toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kick-
back and loss of control over the power tool.
Safety warnings specific for Grinding and Abrasive
Cutting-Off operations
- 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.
- 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 operator from
broken wheel fragments, accidental contact with wheel
and sparks that could ignite clothing.
- Wheels must be used only for recommended ap-
plications. For example: do not grind with the side
of the cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are in-
tended for peripheral grinding; side forces applied to
these wheels may cause them to shatter.
- Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are
of correct size and shape for your selected 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.
- 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.
Additional safety warnings specific for abrasive
cutting off operations
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 complete stop. Never attempt to remove the
cut-off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in mo-
tion otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and
take corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel
binding.
