of the wheel’s 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 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.
b )
Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
c )
Do not position your body in line with the
rotating wheel.
Kickback will propel the tool in
direction opposite to the wheel’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 attach a saw chain, woodcarving blade,
segmented diamond wheel with a peripheral
gap greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade.
Such blades create frequent kickback and loss
of control.
f )
Do not "jam" the 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.
g )
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 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.
h )
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.
i )
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.
j )
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.
Additional Safety Information
•
Use of accessories not specified in this manual is not
recommended and may be hazardous.
Use of power
boosters that would cause the tool to be driven at speeds
greater than its rated speed constitutes misuse.
•
Do not use circular saw blades or any other toothed
blades with this tool.
Serious injury may result.
•
Avoid bouncing the wheel or giving it rough
treatment.
If this occurs, stop the tool and inspect the
wheel for cracks or flaws.
•
Direct sparks away from operator, bystanders or
flammable materials.
Sparks may be produced while
using a sander or grinder. Sparks may cause burns or
start fires.
•
Always use bail handle. Tighten the handle securely.
The bail handle should always be used to maintain control
of the tool at all times.
•
Never cut into area that may contain electrical
wiring or piping.
Serious injury may result.
•
Clean out your tool often, especially after heavy
use.
Dust and grit containing metal particles often
accumulate on interior surfaces and could create an
electric shock hazard.
•
Do not operate this tool for long periods of time.
Vibration caused by tool action may be harmful
to your hands and arms.
Use gloves to provide extra
cushion and limit exposure by taking frequent rest periods.
WARNING: ALWAYS
use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
•
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water.
Allowing
dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
