•
After changing accessories or making adjustments to
the device, firmly tighten the collet chuck nut, the jaw
chuck or other fixing elements.
Loose fixing elements
can shift unexpectedly and cause loss of control; and
rotating components that are not attached will be forcefully
ejected.
•
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.
Kickback and Related Warnings
A kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
rotating wheel, abrasive wheel, abrasive belt, brush or any other
accessory. Pinching or jamming causes rapid stalling of the
rotating accessory. This will accelerate an uncontrolled power
tool towards 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. Kickback 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.
The operator can control kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
•
Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
•
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. The result would be a loss of
control or kickback.
•
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or
toothed saw blade.
Such blades create frequent kickback
and loss of control.
•
Always move the accessory into the material in the
same direction in which the cutting edge leaves the
material (corresponds to the same direction in which
the chips are ejected).
Guiding the power tool in the
wrong direction causes the cutting edge of the accessory
to climb out of the workpiece, which will pull the power
tool in that feed direction.
•
Always clamp the workpiece firmly when using rotary
files, cutting wheels, high-speed milling tools or
carbide milling tools.
If these accessories become only
slightly jammed in the groove, they will get caught and
may cause a kickback. If a cutting wheel gets caught, it
usually breaks. If rotary files, high-speed milling tools or
carbide milling tools get caught, the tool insert may be
ejected from the groove and cause loss of control of the
power tool.
