Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces only, when performing
an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live"
wire will also make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
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.
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.
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
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
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 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 the 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.
Sparks could ignite
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.
Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory. Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
Do not position your body in the area
where power tool will move if kickback
occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in the
direction opposite to the wheel's movement at the
point of snagging.
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.
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving
blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades
