for damage or install an undamaged
accessory. After inspecting and
installing an accessory, position yourself
and bystanders away from the plane
of the rotating accessory and run the
power tool at maximum no-load speed
for one minute.
Damaged accessories will normally break
apart during this test time.
h) Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety glasses.
As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or
workpiece fragments. 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 the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces only, when performing
an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord.
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) 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.
l) 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.
m) Do not run the power tool while
carrying it at your side. Accidental contact
with the spinning accessory could snag
8
your clothing, pulling the accessory into
your body.
n) 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.
o) Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
p) Do not use accessories that require
liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid
coolants may result in electrocution or
shock.
KICKBACK & 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
