minute. Damaged accessories will normally break
apart during this test time.
i) Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As
appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or
workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be
capable of stopping flying debris generated by
various operations. The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of filtrating particles generated by
your operation. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
j) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area must
wear personal protective equipment. Fragments
of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away
and cause injury beyond immediate area of
operation.
k) Hold power tool by insulated gripping
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.
l) Always hold the tool firmly in your hands
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 hands 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) 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 accessory.
o) 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.
p) After changing the bits or making any
adjustments, make sure the collet nut, chuck or
any other adjusting devices are securely
tightened. Loose adjustment devices can
unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control, loose
rotating components will be violently thrown.
q) 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.
r) Regularly clean the power tool's air vents.
The motor's fan will draw dust inside the housing
and excessive accumulation of powdered metal
may cause electrical hazards.

s) Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
t) Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution or shock.
3.2
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 precautions are taken.
b) 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.
c) Do not attach a toothed saw blade. Such
blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
d) Always feed the bit into the material in the
same direction as the cutting edge is exiting
from the material (which is the same direction
as the chips are thrown). Feeding the tool in the
wrong direction causes the cutting edge of the bit to
climb out of the work and pull the tool in the direction
of this feed.
e) When using rotary files, cut-off wheels, high-
speed cutters or tungsten carbide cutters,
always have the work securely clamped. These
wheels will grab if they 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.
3.3
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.
