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 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 and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, bruch 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 resuit of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions
and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
Further safety instructions for all operations
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 contro torque reactions
or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b. Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over you 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 blade create
frequent kickback and loss of control.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations:
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.
