spinning accessory could snag your clo-
thing, 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 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 in electrocution
or shock.

2. 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 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
grinding
(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) The guard must be attached securely
to the electric power tool and adjusted
to ensure maximum safety, i.e. the smal-
lest possible part of the sanding tool
is exposed to the operator.
The guard should protect the operator from
fragments and accidental contact with the
sanding tool.
(c) Sanding tools may be used for
the recommended applications only.
For example: Never grind with the side area
of a cutting-off wheel. Cutting-off wheels are
designed to remove material with the edge
of the wheel. If a lateral force is applied to
these sanding tools, they may shatter.
