m) 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
n) 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
o) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials
p) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock
Kickback and related warnings:
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged sanding wheel, backing pad, 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 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 abrasive wheel
may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of the disc'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 if
suitable precautionary measures are taken as described below
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces.
Always use the 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 the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand
c) Do not position your body in the area where the power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel
the tool in direction opposite to the grinding 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 attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and
loss of control
Safety warnings specific for sanding operations:
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturers recommendations when
selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard
and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback
Safety warnings specific for polishing operations:
Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing bonnet or its attachment strings to spin freely. Tuck away or
shorten the loose attachment strings. Loose and spinning attachment strings can entangle your fingers or snag on
the workpiece
