Do not position your body in the area where the
power tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback
will propel the power tool in the direction
opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point
of snagging.
Take special care when machining corners, sharp
edges, etc. Prevent the accessory from bouncing
off or tilting.
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, wood-carving blade or
circular saw blade.
Blades of this kind cause fre-
quent kickback or loss of control over the
power tool.
Additional safety instructions, particularly
for cutting operations.
Avoid jamming the cutting wheel or applying
excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an
excessive depth of cut.
Overstressing the wheel
increases the loading and susceptibility to twist-
ing or binding in the cut and the likelihood of
kickback or wheel breakage.
Do not position yourself in line with and behind the
rotating cutting wheel.
When the cutting wheel,
at the point of operation, is moving away from
your body, a possible kickback may propel the
cutting wheel and power tool directly at you.
Switch the power tool off if the cutting wheel
blocks or if the cutting process is interrupted for
some reason. Hold the power tool motionless until
the cutting wheel has come to a complete stop.
Never attempt to remove the cutting wheel from
the cut while the wheel is still moving, otherwise
kickback may occur.
Investigate and take correc-
tive action to eliminate the cause of the wheel
binding.
Do not restart the cutting operation if the cutting
wheel is in the workpiece. Let the cutting wheel
reach full speed and then carefully reenter the
cut.
The cutting wheel may bind, jump out or
kick back if the power tool is restarted with the
cutting wheel in the workpiece.
Support the panels or any oversized workpiece to
minimize the risk of wheel pinching or kickback.
Large workpieces tend to sag under their own
weight. Supports must be placed under the
workpiece near the line of cut on both sides of
the cutting wheel and at the ends of the work-
piece.
Use extra caution during “plunge cuts" in walls or
other blind areas.
The penetrating cutting wheel
may cut gas or water conduits, electrical wiring
or objects that could cause kickback.
Safety instructions, particularly for sanding
work with a sanding disc.
When sanding, do not use an excessively over-
sized sanding disc. Follow the manufacturer’s rec-
ommendations when selecting sanding discs.
Sanding discs larger than the backing pad present
a laceration hazard; they can tear, cause snag-
ging, rip off from the backing pad or cause kick-
back.
Special safety instructions for sanding work
with wire brushes.
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the
brush even during normal operation. Do not over-
stress the wire bristles by applying excessive load
to the brush.
The wire bristles can easily pene-
trate light clothing and/or the skin.
If the use of a guard is stipulated for sanding with
wire brushes, do not allow the wire bristles to con-
tact the guard.
The wire brush may expand in
diameter due to the work load and centrifugal
forces.
