▶ Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The mo -
tor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and
excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause
electrical hazards.
▶ Do not operate the power tool near flammable materi -
als. Sparks could ignite these materials.
▶ 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, sanding band, brush or any other ac -
cessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of
the rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncon -
trolled power tool to be forced in the direction op -
posite of the accessory’s rotation. 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 ei -
ther jump toward or away from the operator, depend -
ing 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 con -
ditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions
as given below.
▶ Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position
your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forc -
es. The operator can control kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
▶ Use special care when working corners, sharp edges,
etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Cor -
ners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag
the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or
kickback.
▶ Do not use a toothed saw blade. Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of control over the pow -
er tool.
▶ Always feed the bit into the material in the same di -
rection as the cutting edge is exiting from the material
(which is the same direction as the chips are thrown).
Feeding the tool in the wrong direction causes the cut -
ting edge of the bit to climb out of the work and pull
the tool in the direction of this feed.
▶ When using rotary files, high-speed cutters or tung -
sten carbide cutters, always have the work securely
clamped. These wheels will grab if they become slight
-
ly canted in the groove, and can kickback. When the ro -
tary file, high-speed cutter or tungsten carbide cutter
grab, it may jump from the groove and you could lose
control of the tool.
Safety warnings specific for
grinding operations
▶ Use only wheel types that are recommended for your
power tool and only for recommended applications.
For example: do not grind with the side of a cut-off
wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for pe -
ripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels
may cause them to shatter.
▶ For threaded abrasive cones and plugs use only un -
damaged wheel mandrels with an unrelieved shoul -
der flange that are of correct size and length. Proper
mandrels will reduce the possibility of breakage.
Safety warnings specific for
wire brushing operations
▶ Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush
even during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the
wires by applying excessive load to the brush. The wire
bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or
skin.
▶ Allow brushes to run at operating speed for at least
one minute before using them. During this time no one is
to stand in front or in line with the brush. Loose bris -
tles or wires will be discharged during the run-in time.
▶ Direct the discharge of the spinning wire brush away
from you. Small particles and tiny wire fragments may
be discharged at high velocity during the use of these
brushes and may become imbedded in your skin.
▶ Do not touch abrasive wheels until they have cooled
down. The discs can become very hot while working.
▶ Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than
by hand.
