tool "live" and shock the operator.
k)
Never put the power tool down before
the tool bit stops completely.
The
spinning accessory may grab the surface
and pull the power tool out of your
control.
l)
Do not allow the power tool to run
while carrying it.
Accidental contact
with the spinning accessory could snag
your clothing, pulling the accessory into
your body.
m)
Clean your power tool’s ventilation
slots regularly.
The motor’s fan will
draw the dust inside the housing and
excessive accumulation of powdered
metal may cause electrical hazards.
n)
Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials.
Sparks could
ignite these materials.
o)
Do not use tool bits that require liquid
coolant.
Using water or other liquid
coolants may result in electrocution or
shock.
Additional safety instructions for
all applications
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched
or snagged rotating tool bit such as
sanding disc, sanding pad, wire brush etc.
Snagging or blocking causes the rotating
tool bit to stop abruptly. This in turn causes
the uncontrolled power tool to be forced
in the direction opposite to the tool bit’s
rotation at the blocked point.
For example, if an abrasive disc is snagged
or pinched in the workpiece, the edge of
the disc that is entering into the pinch
point can dig into the surface of the
material causing the disc to climb out or
1)
Kickback and corresponding safety
instructions:
kick out. The disc may either jump toward
or away from the operator, depending on
direction of the disc’s movement at the
point of pinching. Abrasive discs may also
break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of using the power
tool in an incorrect or improper manner.
Kickback can be avoided by taking
appropriate precautions, as described
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 the additional 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
tool bit.
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 disc’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 use chains or serrated saw
blades.
Such tool bits frequently cause
kickback and loss of control over the
power tool.
