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.
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.
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.
WARNING!
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints;
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products, and;
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated timber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area and work with approved safety
equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
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. 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 attached a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of control.
WARNING!
Recommendation that the tool always be supplied via a residual current devise having a rated
residual current of 30 mA or less.
