FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL OPERATIONS
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.
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. 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.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory
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 direction
opposite 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.
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 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 is 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 wheel in the cut and the possibility of
kickback or wheel breakage.
b) Do not position your body in line with and behind the
rotating wheel.
When the wheel, at the point of operation, is
moving away from your body, the possible kickback may propel the
spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
c) When wheel is binding 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 binding.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let
the wheel reach full speed and carefully reenter the cut.
The
wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the
workpiece.
e) 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.
f) 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.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations:
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow
manufacturers recommendations, when selecting sanding
paper.
Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad
presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the
disc or kickback.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR WIRE BRUSHING
OPERATIONS
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing
Operations:
a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even
during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the wires by
applying excessive load to the brush.
The wire bristles can easily
penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b) If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing, do
not allow any interference of the wire wheel or brush with
the guard.
Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter due to work
load and centrifugal forces.
