ENGLISH
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 could give the
operator an electric shock.
k. Always hold the tool firmly in your hand(s) during the
start-up. The reaction torque of the motor, as it
accelerates to full speed, can cause the tool to twist.
l. Use clamps to support workpiece whenever practical.
Never hold a small workpiece in one hand and the tool
in the other hand while in use. Clamping a small
workpiece allows you to use your hand(s) to control
the tool. Round material such as dowel rods, pipes or
tubing have a tendency to roll while being cut, and may
cause the bit to bind or jump toward you.
m. 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.
n. After changing the bits or making any adjustments,
make sure the collet nut, chuck or any other
adjustment devices are securely tightened. Loose
adjustment devices can unexpectedly shift, causing loss of
control, loose rotating components will be violently thrown.
o. 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.
p. 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.
q. Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
r. Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.

Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
rotating wheel, sanding band, 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.
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.

(Original instructions)
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. The operator can control kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
b. 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.
c. Do not attach a toothed saw blade. Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of control.
d. Always feed the bit into the material in the same
direction as the cutting edge is exiting from the
material (which is the same direction as the chips are
thrown). Feeding the tool in the wrong direction causes
the cutting edge of the bit to climb out of the work and pull
the tool in the direction of this feed.
e. When using rotary files, cut-off wheels, high-speed
cutters or tungsten carbide cutters, always have the
work securely clamped. These wheels will grab if they
become slightly canted in the groove, and can
kickback. When a cut-off wheel grabs, the wheel itself
usually breaks. When a rotary file, high-speed cutter or
tungsten carbide cutter grabs, it may jump from the groove
and you could lose control of the tool.
Note: Only those accessories that are listed are permitted to
be used with the tool.
Additional safety instructions for grinding and
cutting-off operations
Safety warnings specific for grinding and abrasive
cutting-off operations:
a. Use only wheel types that are recommended for your
power tool and only for recommended applications.
For example: do not grind with the side of a cut-off
wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral
grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause
them to shatter.
b. For threaded abrasive cones and plugs use only
undamaged wheel mandrels with an unrelieved
shoulder flange that are of correct size and length.
Proper mandrels will reduce the possibility of breakage.
c. Do not "jam" a 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 snagging of the wheel in the cut
and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
