• Kickback is the result of 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
reaction 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.
Safety Warnings Specifi c for Grinding
Operations
a)
Use only wheel types that are recommended
for your power tool and the specific guard
designed for the selected wheel.
Wheels for
which the power tool was not designed cannot
be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
b)
The guard must be securely attached to
the power tool and positioned for maximum
safety, so the least amount of wheel is
exposed towards the operator.
The guard
helps to protect operator from broken wheel
fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
c)
Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with
the side of cut-off wheel.
Abrasive cut-off
wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side
forces applied to these wheels may cause them
to shatter.
d)
Always use undamaged wheel flanges
that are of correct size and shape for your
selected wheel.
Proper wheel flanges support
the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel
breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be
different from grinding wheel flanges.
e)
Do not use worn down wheels from larger
power tools.
Wheel intended for larger power
tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a
smaller tool and may burst.
Safety Warnings Specifi c for Wire
Brushing Operations:
a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by
the brush even during ordinary operation.
Do not overstress the wires by applying
excessive load to the brush.
The wire bristles
can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b) If the use of a guard is recommended for
wire brushing, do not allow any interference
of the wire wheel or brush with the guard.
Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter due
to work and centrifugal forces.
