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
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 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.
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.
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.
Safety Warnings Specific for
Sanding Operations:
Do not use excessively oversized sanding
disc paper. Follow manufacturer’s
recommendations, when selecting sanding
paper.
Larger sanding paper extending beyond
the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard
and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or
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.
If the use of a guard is recommended for
wire brushing, do not allow any
interference of the wire wheel or brush with
the guard.
Wire wheel or brush may expand in
diameter due to work load and centrifugal
forces.
