become slightly canted in the groove, and can kickback. When a cut-off wheel grabs,
the wheel itself usually breaks. When a rotary file, high-speed cutter or tungsten carbide
cutter grabs, it may jump from the groove and you could lose control of the tool .
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR GRINDING AND CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
Safety warnings specific for grinding and abrasive cutting-off operations:
a)
Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and only for
recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of a cut-off
wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied
to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
b)
For threaded abrasive cones and plugs use only undamaged wheel mandrels
with an unrelieved shoulder flange that are of correct size and length. Proper
mandrels will reduce the possibility of breakage.
c)
Do not "jam" a 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 snagging of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of
kickback or wheel breakage.
d)
Do not position your hand in line with and behind the rotating wheel. When the
wheel, at the point of operation, is moving away from your hand, the possible kickback
may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
e)
When wheel is pinched, snagged 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 motion otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and
take corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel pinching or snagging.
f)
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.
g)
Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel
pinching and kickback. Large workpieces 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.
h)
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 WIRE BRUSHING OPERATIONS
Safety warnings specific for wire brushing operations:
a)
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.
b)
Allow brushes to run at operating speed for at least one minute before using
