•
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position
your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback
forces.
The operator can control kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
•
Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
•
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. The result would be a loss of
control or kickback.
•
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or
toothed saw blade.
Such blades create frequent kickback
and loss of control.
•
Always move the accessory into the material in the
same direction in which the cutting edge leaves the
material (corresponds to the same direction in which
the chips are ejected).
Guiding the power tool in the
wrong direction causes the cutting edge of the accessory
to climb out of the workpiece, which will pull the power
tool in that feed direction.
•
Always clamp the workpiece firmly when using rotary
files, cutting wheels, high-speed milling tools or
carbide milling tools.
If these accessories become only
slightly jammed in the groove, they will get caught and
may cause a kickback. If a cutting wheel gets caught, it
usually breaks. If rotary files, high-speed milling tools or
carbide milling tools get caught, the tool insert may be
ejected from the groove and cause loss of control of the
power tool.
Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and Abrasive
Cutting-Off Operations
•
Only use abrasives approved for your power tool and
for the recommended applications. Example: do not
grind with the side of cut-off wheel.
Cutting discs are
designed for material removal using the edge of the disc.
Exerting force to the sides of these abrasives may break
them.
•
For conical and straight abrasive pencils with a thread,
only use undamaged mandrels of the correct size and
length without an undercut on the shoulder.
Suitable
mandrels reduce the risk of breakage.
•
Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth
of cut.
Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and
susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut
and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
•
Do not position your hand in line with and behind the
rotating cutting wheel.
When the wheel, at the point of
operation, is moving away from your hand, the possible
kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power
tool directly at you.
•
When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for
any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the
power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a
complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off
wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion
otherwise kickback may occur.
Investigate and take
corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
•
Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece.
Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter
the cut.
The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the
power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
•
Support panels or any oversized workpiece to
minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback.
Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight.
Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the line
of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of
the wheel.
•
Use extra caution when making a pocket cut into
existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding wheel
may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects
that can cause kickback.
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.
•
Let brushes run at operating speed for at least one
minute before starting work. Make sure that during
this time no other person is standing in line with the
brush.
During the start-up time, loose wire bristles may
fly.
•
Direct the rotating wire brush away from yourself.
When working with these brushes, small particles and tiny
bits of wire may fly at high speed and penetrate the skin.
