may cause hearing loss.
i) 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.
j) 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 shock the operator.
k) 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.
l) 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.
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.
q) Your hand must hold on the handle when you
are working. Always use the auxiliary handles
supplied with the tool. Loss of control can
cause personal injury.

Kickback and related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating 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 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.
a) 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.
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 power tool will move if kickback
occurs.
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 attach a saw chain woodcarving
blade or toothed saw blade.
Such blades
create frequent kickback and loss of control.
