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 with both hands on the
power tool and position your body and arms
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,
segmented diamond wheel with a peripheral
gap greater than 10 mm 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 specified 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 specified
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.
UK power plug warnings:
Your product is fitted with an BS 1363-1 approved
electric plug with internal fuse approved to BS 1362.
If the plug is not suitable for your socket, it should be
removed and an appropriate plug should be fitted in its
place by an authorized customer service agent. The
replacement plug should have the same fuse rating as
the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a
possible shock hazard and should never be inserted
into a mains socket elsewhere.
