o)
Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite
these materials.
p)
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid
coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
q)
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.
r)
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
s)
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.
t)
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.
u)
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.
v)
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.
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
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.
