c. Do not attach a toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and
loss of control.
d. Always feed the bit into the material in the same direction as the cutting
edge is exiting from the material (which is the same direction as the chips
are thrown). Feeding the tool in the wrong direction causes the cutting edge of
the bit to climb out of the work and pull the tool in the direction of this feed.
e. When using rotary files, cut-off wheels, high-speed cutters or tungsten
carbide cutters, always have the work securely clamped. These wheels will
grab if they become slightly canted in the groove, and can kickback. When a cut-
off wheel grabs, the wheel itself usually breaks. When a rotary file, high-speed
cutter or tungsten carbide cutter grabs, it may jump from the groove and you
could lose control of the tool.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR GRINDING AND ABRASIVE
CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
a. Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and only
for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of a
cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side
forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
b. For threaded abrasive cones and plugs use only undamaged wheel
mandrels with an unrelieved shoulder flange that are of correct size and
length. Proper mandrels will reduce the possibility of breakage.
c. Do not "jam" a 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 snagging of the wheel in the cut and the
possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
d. Do not position your hand in line with and behind the rotating wheel. When
the wheel, at the point of operation, is moving away from your hand, the possible
kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
e. When wheel is pinched, snagged 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 pinching
or snagging.
f.
Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach
full speed and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or
kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
g. 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.
h. 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.
DO NOT WORK WITH MATERIALS CONTAINING ASBESTOS (asbestos is
!
considered carcinogenic)
TAKE PROTECTIVE MEASURES WHEN DURING WORK DUST CAN
!
DEVELOP THAT IS HARMFUL TO ONE'S HEALTH, COMBUSTIBLE OR
EXPLOSIVE (some dusts are considered carcinogenic); wear a dust mask and
work with dust/ chip extraction when connectable
