ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
 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.
 Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.

KICKBACK AND RELATED WARNINGS:

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotat-
ing wheel. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the
rotating wheel which in turn causes the uncontrolled power
tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the wheel'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
reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are
taken.
 Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
 Do not position your body in line with the rotating
wheel. 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,
segmented diamond wheel or toothed saw blade.
Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
 Do not "jam" the 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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
4 — English
 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 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 re-enter
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.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

 Know your power tool. Read operator's manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well
as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious injury.
 Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could
result in objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in
possilbe serious injury.
 Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
 Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
 Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have
repaired at your nearest authorized service center.
Constantly stay aware of cord location. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
 To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connec-
tions dry and off the ground. Keep the tool dry when
applying water to the cutting wheel. Do not stand in water
when operating the tool. Do not touch the plug with wet
hands. Keep bystanders away from water and electricity.
