Kickback And Related Warnings - KRHÜNER 80755 Manual De Instrucciones

ො 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.
ො Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the
housing and excessive accumulation of powered metal may cause electrical hazards.
ො Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
ො 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 acces-
sory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction op-
posite 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
kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on
direction of the wheel's movement 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 precautions as given below:
ො 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 reac-
tions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
ො Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. The accessory may kickback over
your hand.
ො Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs.
The kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel's movement at the
point of snagging.
ො Use special care when working corners, 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.
ො Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of control.
