for one minute. Damaged wheels will nor-
mally break apart during this test time.
j) Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety glasses.
As appropriate, wear dust mask, hear-
ing protectors, gloves and shop 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 fil-
trating particles generated by your opera-
tion. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
k) Keep bystanders a safe distance away
from work area. Anyone entering the
work area must wear personal protec-
tive equipment. Fragments of workpiece
or of a broken wheel may fly away and
cause injury beyond immediate area of op-
eration.
l) Hold the power tool by insulated grip-
ping 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.
m) 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 wheel.
n) Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop.
The spinning wheel may grab the surface
and pull the power tool out of your control.
o) Do not run the power tool while carrying
it at your side. Accidental contact with the
spinning accessory could snag your cloth-
ing, pulling the accessory into your body.
p) Regularly clean the power tool's air
vents. The motor's fan will draw the dust
inside the housing and excessive accumu-
lation of powdered metal may cause electri-
cal hazards.
q) Do not operate the power tool near flam-
mable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
r) Do not use accessories that require
liquid coolants. Using water or other liq-
uid coolants may result in electrocution or
shock.

Kickback and related warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel. Pinching or snagging
causes rapid stalling of the rotating wheel which
in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be
forced in the direction opposite of the wheel's ro-
tation 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 precau-
tions as given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool
and position your body and arm to al-
low you to resist kickback forces. Al-
ways 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 line with
the rotating wheel. 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, segmented diamond wheel with
a peripheral gap greater than 10 mm or
toothed saw blade. Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of control.
f) Do not "jam" the wheel or apply exces-
sive pressure. Do not attempt to make
