(n) Regularly clean the power tool's air
vents. The motor's fan will draw the dust
inside the housing and excessive accumula-
tion of powdered metal may cause electrical
hazards.
(o) Do not operate the power tool near flam-
mable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
(p) Do not use accessories that require
liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid
coolants may result result in electrocution
or shock.

2. Kickback and Related Warnings

Kickback is the sudden reaction to a pin-
ched or snagged rotating insertion tool,
such as a sanding disc, sanding pad, wire
brush, etc. Pinching or snagging may cause
a rotating insertion tool to stop abruptly.
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, depen-
ding on direction of the wheel's movement
at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels
may also break under these conditions.
For example, if a sanding disc is snagged
or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the
sanding disc which is entering
the workpiece may become caught and
cause the sanding disc to break off or kick
back. The sanding disc then moves towards
or away from the operator, depending
on the direction in which the disc is rotating
at the point of pinching. Sanding discs may
also break under these conditions.
A recoil occurs if the electric power tool
is used incorrectly or improperly.
A recoil can be prevented by appropriate
precautions as described 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 propels the electric power
tool in the direction opposite to the move-
ment of the sanding disc at the point
of pinching.
(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. This causes a 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.
3. Special safety instructions for
polishing
(a) Do not allow any loose portion of the
polishing bonnet or its attachment strings
to spin freely. Tuck away or trim any loose
attachment strings.
Loose and spinning attachment strings
can entangle your fingers or snag on the
workpiece.

4. Additional Warnings

(a) The mains voltage and the voltage
specifications on the rating plate must
correspond.
(b) Do not press the spindle lock until the
tool stops.
