this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
b. Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed
and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because
the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does
not assure safe operation.
c. The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to
the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories
running faster than their rated speed can fly apart.
d. The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory
must be within the capacity rating of your power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded
or controlled.
e. The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any
other accessory must properly fit the spindle of the power
tool. Accessories with arbour holes that do not match the
mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance,
vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
f. Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect
the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and
cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire
brush for loose or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory
is dropped, inspect 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.
g. Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses.
As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing 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 filtrating
particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to
high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
h. 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.
i. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and shock the operator.
j. 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.
k. 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.
l. 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.
m. Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
n. Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using
water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or
shock.
o. Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos is
considered carcinogenic).
p. 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.
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 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 are taken.
b. Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory
may kickback over your 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 blades create frequent kickback and loss of
control.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR GRINDING
AND ABRASIVE CUTTING OFF OPERATIONS
a. Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power
tool and the specific guard designed for the selected wheel.
Wheels for which the power tool was not designed cannot be
adequately guarded and are unsafe.
b. Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For
example: do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive
cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces
applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
c. Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct
size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges
