capable of stopping flying debris generated by
various operations. The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of filtering 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) 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.
m) 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.
n) 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.
o) 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.
p) Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
q) 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 the sudden response to an abrasive
wheel that is jamming while rotating. Pinching or
snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating
accessory, which in turn causes the uncontrolled
power tool to be forced in the opposite direction 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 power tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions It can
be prevented if suitable precautionary measures
are taken as described below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arms 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.
b) Never place your hand near rotating
accessories. Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
c) Do not position your body either before or
behind the rotating wheel. Kickback will propel
the tool in direction opposite to the wheel's
movement at the point of snagging.
d) 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.
e) Do not use a chainsaw blade, toothed saw
blade or segmented diamond disc with slots
wider than 10 mm. Such blades often create
kickback or loss of control of the power tool.
f) Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply
excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make
excessively deep cuts. Overstressing the cutting
disc increases the load and susceptibility to twisting
or jamming of the disc and the possibility of
kickback or grinding media breakage.
g) If the wheel gets jammed or you interrupt
operation for any reason, switch off the power
tool and hold the power tool still until the wheel
comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to
remove the cutting disc from the cut while the
wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may
occur. Investigate and take corrective action to
eliminate the cause of wheel jamming.
h) Do not restart the tool while in the workpiece.
Let the disc reach full speed and carefully re-
enter the cut. The disc may bind, walk up or
kickback if the power tool is restarted in the
workpiece.
i) 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 disc.
j) Use extra caution when making a "pocket
cut" into existing walls or other blind areas. The
protruding disc may cut gas or water pipes,
electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
3.3 Additional Safety Instructions:
WARNING – Always wear protective
goggles.
Wear a suitable dust protection mask.
Use only diamond cut-off wheels. Only
genuine spare parts may be used.
