5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
b)
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.
c)
Do not attach a toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
d)
Always feed the bit into the material in the same direction as the cutting edge is exiting
from the material (which is the same direction as the chips are thrown). Feeding the tool
in the wrong direction causes the cutting edge of the bit to climb out of the work and pull the
tool in the direction of this feed.
e)
When using rotary files, cut-off wheels, high-speed cutters or tungsten carbide cutters,
always have the work securely clamped. These wheels will grab if they become slightly
canted in the groove, and can kickback. When a cut-off wheel grabs, the wheel itself usually
breaks. When a rotary file, high-speed cutter or tungsten carbide cutter grabs, it may jump from
the groove and you could lose control of the tool.
Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:
a)
Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the specific guard
designed for the selected when wheels for which the power tool was not designed
cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
b)
The grinding surface of centre depressed wheels must be mounted below the plane of
the lip guard. An improperly mounted when that projects through the plane of the guard lip
cannot be adequately protected.
c)
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.
d)
Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind
with the side of the cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral
grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
e)
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.
f)
Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools. Wheels 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:
a)
Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make and
excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to
twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
b)
Do not position you 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.
c)
When wheel is binding ow 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.
d)
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.
e)
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.
