j)
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing
an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
k)
Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the
cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the
spinning accessory.
l)
Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete
stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power
tool out of your control.
m)
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact
with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.
n)
Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan will draw the
dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal
may cause electrical hazards.
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.
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
