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 accessory
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 accessories will normally break apart
during this test time.
h)
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask,
hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping small
abrasive or workpiece fragments.
The eye protection must be capable of stopping
flying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be
capable of filtrating 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.
Fragments of workpiece or
of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of
operation
.
j)
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool “live” and shock the operator. NOTE The above warning may be
omitted if polishing is the only recommended operation
k)
Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory.
If you lose control, the cord
maybe cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning
accessory.
l)
Never lay the power tool down until the accessory 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 flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite
these materials.
p)
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants
.
Using water or other liquid
coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
Kickback and Related Warnings
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 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.
