11. Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory
may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
12. 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.
13. Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing and
excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
14. Do not operate the power tool near fl ammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.

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 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 tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below:
1) Maintain a fi rm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback
forces. The operator can control torque reacton or kickbaock forces, if proper precautions are taken.
2) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
3) Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel
the tool in direction opposite to the wheel's movement at the point of snagging
4) 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
5) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback
and loss of control
Safety Warnings Specifi c for Polishing Operations
Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing bonnet or its attachment strings to spin freely. Tuck away
or trim any loose attachment strings. Loose and spinning attachment strings can entangle your fi ngers or snag
on the workpiece.
