are taken.
b). Never place your hand near the rotating
acces sory. Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
c). Do not position your body in the area
where power tool will move if kickback oc-
curs.
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 snag-
ging 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 cre-
ate frequent kickback and loss of control.
Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and
Abrasive CuttingOff Operations:
a) Use only wheel types that are recom-
mended for your power tool and the specif-
ic guard designed for the selected wheel.
Wheels for which the power tool was not designed
cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
b) The guard must be securely attached
to the power tool and positioned for maxi-
mum 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.
c) Wheels must be used only for recom-
mended applications. For example: do not
grind with the side of cutoff wheel
. Abrasive
cutoff wheels are intended for peripheral grinding,
side forces applied to these wheels may cause
them to shatter.
d) Always use undamaged wheel flanges
that are of correct size and shape for your
selected wheel.
Proper wheel flanges support
the wheel thus reduc ing the possibility of wheel
breakage. Flanges for cut off wheels may be dif-
ferent from grinding wheel flanges.
e) Do not use worn down wheels from larg-
er power tools. Wheel intended for larger power
tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a small-
er tool and may burst.
Additional Safety Warnings Specific for
Abrasive CuttingOff Operations:
a). Do not “jam” the cutoff wheel or apply ex-
cessive 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 possi ble kickback may propel the spin-
ning 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 un-
til the wheel comes to a complete stop. Nev-
er attempt to remove the cutoff wheel from
the cut while the wheel is in motion other-
wise kickback may occur.
Investigate and take
corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel
binding.
d). Do not restart the cutting operation in the
work piece. Let the wheel reach full speed
and care fully reenter the cut.
The wheel may
bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is re-
started in the work piece.
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 un-
der 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 ar-
eas.
The pro truding wheel may cut gas or water
pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can cause
kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Opera -
tions:
a). Do not use excessively oversized sanding
disc paper. Follow manufacturers recom-
mendations, when selecting sanding paper.
Larger sanding paper extending beyond the
sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and
may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kick-
back.
