your power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories
cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
f)
Threaded mounting of accessories must match
the grinder spindle thread. For accessories
mounted by fl anges, the arbour hole of the
accessory must fit the locating diameter of
the fl ange.
Accessories that do not match the
mounting hardware of the power tool will run
out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause
loss of control.
g)
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each
use inspect the accessory such as abrasive
wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for
cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for
loose or cracked wires. If power tool or acces-
sory is dropped, inspect for damage or install
an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and
installing an accessory, position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of the rotating
accessory and run the power tool at maximum
no-load speed for one minute.
Damaged ac-
cessories will normally break apart during this
test time.
h)
Wear personal protective equipment. De-
pending on application, use face shield, safety
goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear
dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and shop
apron capable of stopping small abrasive or
workpiece fragments.
The eye protection must
be capable of stopping fl ying debris generated by
various operations . The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of fi ltrating particles generated
by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
i)
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area must
wear personal protective equipment.
Frag-
ments of workpiece or of a broken accessory
may fl y away and cause injury beyond immediate
area of operation.
j)
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact hid-
den wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
k)
Position the cord clear of the spinning acces-
sory.
If you lose control, the cord may be cut or
snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled
into the spinning accessory.
l)
Never lay the power tool down until the acces-
sory has come to a complete stop.
The spinning
accessory may grab the surface and pull the
power tool out of your control.
m)
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at
your side.
Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.
n)
Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents.
The
motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing
and excessive accumulation of powdered metal
may cause electrical hazards.
o)
Do not operate the power tool near fl ammable
materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
p)
Do not use accessories that require liquid cool-
ants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution or shock.
Further safety instruc-
tions for all operations
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or
any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes
rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn
causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in
the direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation at
the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or
pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel
that is entering into the pinch point can dig into
the surface of the material causing the wheel to
climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump
toward or away from the operator, depending on
direction 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 fi rm grip on the power tool and po-
sition 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 acces-
sory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
c)
Do not position your body in the area where
power tool will move if kickback occurs.
