Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a
tendency to snag the rotating accessory and
cause loss of control or kickback.
c) Do not attach a toothed saw blade.
Such blades create frequent kickback and loss
of control.
d) Always feed the bit into the material in the
same direction as the cutting edge is
exiting from the material (which is the
same direction as the chips are thrown).
Feeding the tool in the wrong direction causes
the cutting edge of the bit to climb out of the
work and pull the tool in the direction of this
feed.
e) When using rotary files, cut-off wheels,
high-speed cutters or tungsten carbide
cutters, always have the work securely
clamped.
These wheels will grab if they become slightly
canted in the groove, and can kickback. When
a cut-off wheel grabs, the wheel itself usually
breaks. When a rotary file, high-speed cutter
or tungsten carbide cutter grabs, it may jump
from the groove and you could lose control of
the tool.
Additional safety instructions for grinding
and cutting-off operations.
Safety warnings specific for grinding and
abrasive cutting-off operations:
a) Use only wheel types that are
recommended for your power tool and only
for recommended applications. For
example: do not grind with the side of a
cut-off wheel.
Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for
peripheral grinding, side forces applied to
these wheels may cause them to shatter.
b) For threaded abrasive cones and plugs use
only undamaged wheel mandrels with an
unrelieved shoulder flange that are of
correct size and length.
Proper mandrels will reduce the possibility of
breakage.
c)
Do not “jam” a 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 snagging of the
wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback
or wheel breakage.
d) Do not position your hand in line with and
behind the rotating wheel.
When the wheel, at the point of operation, is
moving away from your hand, the possible
kickback may propel the spinning wheel and
the power tool directly at you.
e) When wheel is pinched, snagged or when
interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off
the power tool and hold the power tool
motionless until the wheel comes to a
complete stop. Never attempt to remove
the cut-off wheel from the cut while the
wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may
occur.
Investigate and take corrective action to
eliminate the cause of wheel pinching or
snagging.
f) Do not restart the cutting operation in the
workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed
and carefully re-enter the cut.
The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the
power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
g) Support panels or any oversized workpiece
to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and
kickback.
Large workpieces tend to sag under their own
weight. Supports must be placed under the
workpiece near the line of cut and near the
edge of the workpiece on both sides of the
wheel.
h)
Use extra caution when making a “pocket
cut” into existing walls or other blind
areas.
The protruding wheel may cut gas or water
pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can
cause kickback.
Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when
used with another battery pack.
