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 fi rm 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 specifi c guard designed
for the selected wheel.
Wheels for which the power tool was not designed
cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
b) The grinding surface of centre depressed wheels
must be mounted below the plane of the guard lip.
An improperly mounted wheel that projects through the
plane of the guard lip cannot be adequately protected.
c) The guard must be securely attached to the power
tool and positioned for maximum safety, so the
least amount of wheel is exposed towards the
operator.
The guard helps to protect the operator from broken
wheel fragments, accidental contact with wheel and
sparks that could ignite clothing.
d) 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.
e) Always use undamaged wheel fl anges that are of
correct size and shape for your selected wheel.
Proper wheel fl anges support the wheel thus reducing
the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off
wheels may be diff erent from grinding wheel fl anges.
f) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power
tools.
Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable for
the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
SPECIFIC FOR ABRASIVE CUTTING-
OFF OPERATIONS
a) Do not "jam" the 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 binding of the wheel in the cut
and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
b) Do not position your body in line with and behind
the rotating wheel.
When the wheel, at the point of operation, is moving
away from your body, the possible kickback may propel
the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
c) When wheel is binding 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 binding.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) 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.
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR CORDLESS DISC GRINDERS
– Check that speed marked on the wheel is equal to or
greater than the rated speed of the grinder;
– Ensure that the wheel dimensions are compatible with
the grinder;
– Abrasive wheels shall be stored and handled with care in
accordance with manufacturer's instructions;
– Inspect the grinding wheel before use, do not use
chipped, cracked or otherwise defective products;
– Ensure that mounted wheels and points are fi tted in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions;
– Ensure that blotters are used when they are provided
with the bonded abrasive product and when they are
required;
– Ensure that the abrasive product is correctly mounted
and tightened before use and run the tool at no-load for
30 seconds in a safe position, stop immediately if there
is considerable vibration or if other defects are detected.
If this condition occurs, check the machine to determine
the cause;
– If a guard is equipped with the tool never use the tool
without such a guard;
– When using a abrasive cutting wheel, be sure to remove
the standard accessory wheel guard and attach the
wheel guard with side guard (sold separately)
– Do not use separate reducing bushings or adapters to
adapt large hole abrasive wheels;
– For tools intended to be fi tted with threaded hole wheel,
ensure that the thread in the wheel is long enough to
accept the spindle length;
