o)
Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution or shock.

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 you’re 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 instructions for grinding
operations
Safety Warnings Specific 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 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
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.
Battery safety warning
a) Do not dismantle, open or shred secondary cells or
batteries.
b) Keep batteries out of the reach of children
Battery usage by children should be supervised.
Especially keep small batteries out of reach of small
children.
c) Do not expose cells or batteries to heat or fire. Avoid
storage in direct sunlight.
d) Do not short-circuit a cell or a battery. Do not store
cells or batteries haphazardly in a box or drawer
where they may short-circuit each other or be short-
circuited by other metal objects.
e) Do not subject cells or batteries to mechanical
shock.
f) In the event of a cell leaking, do not allow the liquid
to come in contact with the skin or eyes. If contact
has been made, wash the affected area with
copious amounts of water and seek medical advice.
g) Do not use any charger other than that specifically
provided for use with the equipment.
h) Do not use any cell or battery which is not designed
for use with the equipment.
i) Do not mix cells of different manufacture, capacity,
size or type within a device.
j) Always purchase the battery recommended by the
device manufacturer for the equipment.
k) Keep cells and batteries clean and dry.
l) Wipe the cell or battery terminals with a clean dry
cloth if they become dirty.
m) Secondary cells and batteries need to be charged
