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.
q) Recommendation that the tool always be
supplied via a residual current device with a
rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR ALL OPERATIONS
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.
d) Use special care when working corners, sharp
edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging 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 create frequent
kickback and loss of control.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC
FOR GRINDING AND ABRASIVE
CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
a) 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
b) 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.
c) 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 the
operator from broken wheel fragments, accidental
contact with wheel and sparks that could ignite
clothing.
d) 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.
e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that
