m.) Do not allow the power tool to run while you
are carrying it. Your clothing could get snagged
accidentally in the rotating bits and cutters,
causing the power tool to pierce your body.
n.) Regularly clean the ventilation slits of your
power tool. The motor fan sucks dust into the
housing and a strong accumulation of metal
dust can cause electrical hazards.
o.) Do not use the power tool in the vicinity of
combustible materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
p.) Do not use bits and cutters that require liquid
coolants. The use of water or other liquid
coolants can cause electric shock.
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel, sanding band, 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.
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 condi-
tions.
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.
a)
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kickback forces. The operator can con-
trol kickback forces, if proper precautions are
taken.
b)
Use special care when working corners,
sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snag-
ging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or
bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating
- 12 -
accessory and cause loss of control or kick-
back.
c)
Do not attach a toothed saw blade. Such
blades create frequent kickback and loss of
control.
d)
Always feed the bit into the material in the
same direction as the cutting edge is exiting
from the material (which is the same direc-
tion as the chips are thrown). Feeding the tool
in the wrong direction causes the cutting edge
of the bit to climb out of the work and pull the
tool in the direction of this feed.
e)
When using rotary files, cut-off wheels, high-
speed cutters or tungsten carbide cutters,
always have the work securely clamped.
These wheels will grab if they become slightly
canted in the groove, and can kickback. When
a cut-off wheel grabs, the wheel itself usually
breaks. When a rotary file, high-speed cutter
or tungsten carbide cutter grabs, it may jump
from the groove and you could lose control of
the tool.
Safety Warnings Specific for Polishing:
a.
Loose parts on the polishing guard, especially
the fastening cords, are not permitted. Tuck
away or shorten the fastening cords. Loose,
spinning fastening cords may make contact with
your fingers or become caught in the workpiece.
Special safety guidelines on sanding:
a.) Do not use any overdimensioned sanding
disc papers, but comply with manufacturer's
specifications on sanding paper size. Sanding
papers that extend beyond the grinding disc
can cause injuries as well as lead to binding,
tearing of the sanding discs or recoil.
Never work without dust protection
mask. Some dusts have a hazardous effect!
Materials containing asbestos may not be
machined! Ensure good ventilation of the
workplace.
Wear safety glasses!
Flying splinters can cause eye injuries.
