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 sanding cause rapid stalling of the rotating
accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the
direction opposite of the accessory 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.
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 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 an 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.
