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.
Additional Safety Warnings for Grinding Operation
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 grinding surface of centre depressed wheels must be mounted below the
plane of the guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel that projects through the
plane of the guard lip cannot be adequately protected.
c) 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 and sparks that could ignite clothing.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f)
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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING!
MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual
may cause serious personal injury.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPERATION
Installing or Adjusting Wheel Guard
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched OFF and unplugged before installing or
removing the wheel guard.
Wheel guard is a device to protect operator
from injuries if the wheel breaks during
operation. Before operation, make sure the
wheel guard is tightly installed. By slightly
loosening the setting screw, the wheel
guard can be turned and set at any desired
angle
for
maximum
operational
effectiveness. Ensure that the setting
screw is thoroughly tightened after adjusting the wheel guard.
