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.
Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool
“live” and could give the operator an electric
shock.
k) Always hold the tool firmly in your hand(s)
during the start-up.
The reaction torque of the motor, as it
accelerates to full speed, can cause the tool
to twist.
l) Use clamps to support workpiece
whenever practical. Never hold a small
workpiece in one hand and the tool in the
other hand while in use.
Clamping a small workpiece allows you to use
your hand(s) to control the tool. Round
material such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing
tend to roll while being cut, and
may cause the bit to bind or jump toward you.
m) Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory.
If you lose control, the cord may be cut or
snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled
into the spinning accessory.
n) 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.
o) After changing the bits or making any
adjustments, make sure the collet nut,
chuck or any other adjustment devices are
securely tightened.
Loose adjustment devices can unexpectedly
shift, causing loss of control, loose rotating
components will be violently thrown.
p) 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.
q)
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.
r) Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
s) 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, sanding band, 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.
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.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kickback forces.
The operator can control kickback forces, if
proper precautions are taken.
b) Use special care when working corners,
sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and
snagging the accessory.
