Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum
control over kickback or torque reaction during startup.
The operator can control torque reactions 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 the
power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback
will propel the tool in the 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 over the power tool.
1.3 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
GRINDING AND CUTTING OFF OPERATIONS
Use only wheel types that are recommended for
your power tool and the specific guard designed
for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power
tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded
and are unsafe.
The guard must be securely attached to the power
tool and positioned for maximum safety, so the
least amount of wheel is exposed towards the
operator. The guard helps to protect operator from
broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with
wheel.
Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with the
side of the cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels
are intended for peripheral grinding; side forces
applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of
correct size and shape for your selected wheel.
Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing
the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off
wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges.
Do not use worn down wheels from larger power
tools. Wheels intended for larger power tools are not
suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may
burst.
1.4 ADDITIONAL SAFETY WAR-
NINGS SPECIFIC FOR ABRASIVE
CUTTING OFF OPERATIONS
Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive
depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases
the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of
the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or
wheel breakage.
Do not position your body in line with and behind
the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of
operation, is moving away from your body, the possible
kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power
tool directly at you.
When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut
for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold
the power tool motionless until the wheel comes
to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-
off 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.
Do not restart the cutting operation in the
workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and
carefully reenter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk
up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the
workpiece.
Support panels or any oversized workpiece to
minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback.
Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight.
Supports must be placed under the workpiece near
the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on
both sides of the wheel.
Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut" into
existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding
wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or
objects that can cause kickback.
1.5 SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR WIRE
BRUSHING OPERATIONS
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush
even during ordinary operation. Do not overstress
the wires by applying excessive load to the brush.
The wire bristles can easily penetrate light clothing
and/or skin.
If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing,
do not allow any interference of the wire wheel or
brush with the guard. Wire wheel or brush may expand
in diameter due to work load and centrifugal forces.
1.6 ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
Wear safety goggles.
Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines
are hidden in the work area or call the local utility
company for assistance. Contact with electric
lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging
a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water
line causes property damage or may cause an electric
shock.
Release the On/Off switch and set it to the off
position when the power supply is interrupted, e.
g., in case of a power failure or when the mains
plug is pulled. This prevents uncontrolled restarting.
