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
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
