wheel may fly away and 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 accessory
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 carrying
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 in-
side the housing and excessive accumulation
of powdered metal may cause electrical haz-
ards.
q)
Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
r) Do not use accessories that require liq-
uid coolants. Using water or other liquid cool-
ants may result in electrocution or shock.
This power tool is intended primarily for
tuckpointing applications and some small
abrasive masonry cut off applications.
Read all safety warnings, instructions, il-
lustrations and specifications provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all in-
structions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
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 accessory'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 kickout. 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 con-
ditions 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 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 move-
ment 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 con-
trol 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 fre-
quent kickback and loss of control.
f) Do not "jam"the wheel or apply exces-
sive pressure. Do not attempt to make an
excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the
wheel increases the loading and susceptibil-
ity to twisting or binding of the wheel in the
cut and the possibility of kickback 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 motion-
less until the wheel comes to a complete
stop. Never attempt to remove the 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.
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
