to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use the 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. Accessories 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 the opposite direction to
the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.
d) 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.
e) 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 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 wheel. Wheels for which the
power tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded and are
unsafe.
b) 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 operator from broken wheel
fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
c) Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do
not grind with the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are
intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may
cause them to shatter.
d) 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.
e) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools. Wheel intended
for larger power tool are 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 an excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel
increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the
