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.
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.
never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory
may kickback over your hand.
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.
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.
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:
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.

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 operator
from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
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.
always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct size
and shape for your selected wheel.
Proper wheel flanges support
the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges
for cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges.
do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools.
Wheel
intended for larger power tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a
smaller tool and may burst.

addiTional SafeTy WarningS SpeCifiC for abraSive
CUTTing-off operaTionS:
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 body in line with and behind the rotating
wheel.
When the wheel, at the point of operation, is moving away
from your body, 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
