Clean the ventilation slots of your pow-
o)
er tool at regular intervals.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
p)
flammable materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
Do not use accessories that require
q)
liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid
coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is the sudden response to an abrasive
wheel pinching or jamming while rotating. Pinch-
ing or jamming leads to an rapid stalling of the
rotating 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 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 avoided by taking proper precautions as given
below.
Maintain a firm grip on the power
a)
tool and position your body and arm
to allow you to resist kickback forces.
Always use auxiliary handle, if provid-
ed, 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 rotating
b)
accessory tools. The accessory may kickback
over your hand.
Avoid the area in front of and behind
c)
the rotating cut-off wheel. Kickback will
propel the tool in direction opposite to the
wheel's movement at the point of snagging.
Special safety instructions
Use special care when working cor-
d)
ners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing
and snagging the accessory. The rotating
accessory tool tends to jam at corners or sharp
edges or if it rebounds from the workpiece. This
causes a loss of control or kickback.
Do not attach a saw chain wood-
e)
carving blade, toothed saw blade or
segmented diamond disk with more
than 10 mm wide slits. Such accessories
frequently cause kickback or loss of control over
the electric tool.
Avoid blocking of the cut-off wheel
f)
or excessive contact pressure. Do not
make excessively deep cuts. Overloading
of the cut-off wheel increases the pressure and
the susceptibility to tilting or blocking, and hence
the risk of kickback or grinding wheel breakage.
If the cut-off wheel jams or you inter-
g)
rupt the work, switch off the device and
hold it steady until the wheel has come
to a standstill. Never try to pull the run-
ning cut-off wheel out of the cut as this
could result in a recoil. Identify and remedy
the cause of the jamming.
Do not switch on the electric tool again
h)
as long as it is in the workpiece. Allow
the cut-off wheel to reach its full speed
before carefully continuing the cut.
Otherwise the wheel may snag, spring out of the
workpiece or kickback.
Support plates or large workpieces to
i)
reduce the risk of a recoil caused by the
cut-off wheel jamming. Large workpieces
can bend under their own weight. The workpiece
must be supported on both sides of the wheel,
both in the vicinity of the cut and at the edge.
Be particularly careful when cutting
j)
"pockets" in existing walls or other sur-
faces that you cannot see behind. As the
wheel cuts into the surface it may collide with gas
or water pipes, electric cables or other objects
and cause kickback.
