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 Specific for
Grinding and Abrasive Cutting-Off
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 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 theguard 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 the operator from broken
wheel fragments, 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.
Additional Safety Warnings Specific
for Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:
Cut-off operations are only suitable
with a special protection guard
(not
included)
a) Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply
excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make
an excessive depth of cut.
Overstressing the
wheel increases the loading and susceptibility
to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and
the possibility of kickback or
wheel breakage.
b) Do not position your body in line with and
behind the rotating wheel.
When the wheel,
at the point of operation, is moving away from
your body, the possible kickback may propel the
spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
c) When wheel is binding or when interrupting
a cut for any reason, switch off the power
tool and hold the power tool motionless
until the wheel comes to a complete stop.
Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel
from the cut while the wheel is in motion
otherwise kickback may occur.
Investigate
and take corrective action to eliminate the
cause of wheel binding.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the
workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed
and carefully re-enter the cut.
The wheel
may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool
is restarted in the workpiece.
e) Support panels or any oversized workpiece
to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and
kickback.
Large workpieces tend to sag under
their own weight. Supports must be placed
under the workpiece near the line of cut and
near the edge of the workpiece on
both sides
of the wheel.
f) Use extra caution when making a “pocket
cut” into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding wheel may cut gas or water
pipes, electrical wiring or objects that
can
cause kickback.
