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.
Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid
coolants may result in electrocution or
shock.
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.
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.
Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory. Accessory may kickback over
your hand.
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 Sanding
Operations
Do not use excessively oversized sanding
disc paper. Follow manufacturers
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
Polishing
Operations
Do not allow any loose portion of the
polishing bonnet or its attachment strings
to spin freely. Tuck away or trim any loose
attachment strings. Loose and spinning
attachment strings can entangle your
fingers or snag on the workpiece.
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.
