gripping surfaces only, when
performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring. Cutting
accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
l)
Always hold the tool firmly in
your hand(s) during the start-up.
The reaction torque of the motor, as it
accelerates to full speed, can cause the tool
to twist.
m) Use clamps to support workpiece
whenever practical. Never hold a
small workpiece in one hand and
the tool in the other hand while in
use. Clamping a small workpiece allows
you to use your hand(s) to control the tool.
Round material such as dowel rods, pipes
or tubing have a tendency to roll while being
cut, and may cause the bit to bind or jump
toward you.
n) 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.
o) After changing the bits or making
any adjustments, make sure the
collet nut, chuck or any other
adjustment devices are securely
tightened. Loose adjustment devices can
unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control,
loose rotating components will be violently
thrown.
p) 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.
q) 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.
r) Do not operate the power tool
near flammable materials. Sparks

could ignite these materials.
s) Do not use accessories that
require liquid coolants. Using
water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
t)
Instruction that the maximum recommended
diameter of mounted wheels, threaded
cones and plugs shall not exceed 55
mm and that the maximum recommended
diameter of sanding accessories shall not
exceed 80 mm

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL
OPERATIONS
KICKBACK AND
RELATED WARNINGS
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a
pinched or snagged rotating wheel,
sanding band, 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.
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.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power
tool and position your body
and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. The operator
can control kickback forces, if proper
