and specifications provided with this power
tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious in-
jury.
Operations such as polishing are not recom-
f
mended to be performed with this power tool.
Operations for which the power tool was not de-
signed may create a hazard and cause personal
injury.
Do not use accessories which are not specifi-
f
cally designed and recommended by the tool
manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be
attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe
operation.
The rated speed of the accessory must be at
f
least equal to the maximum speed marked on
the power tool. Accessories running faster than
their rated speed can break and fly apart.
The outside diameter and the thickness of your
f
accessory must be within the capacity rating of
your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories can-
not be adequately guarded or controlled.
Threaded mounting of accessories must match
f
the grinder spindle thread. For accessories
mounted by flanges, the arbour hole of the
accessory must fit the locating diameter of
the flange. Accessories that do not match the
mounting hardware of the power tool will run out
of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss
of control.
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each
f
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 acces-
sory 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 acces-
sories will normally break apart during this test
time.
Wear personal protective equipment. De-
f
pending on application, use face shield, safe-
ty goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate,
wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves
and workshop apron capable of stopping small
abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye pro-
tection 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.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
f
work area. Anyone entering the work area must
wear personal protective equipment. Frag-
ments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may
fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of
operation.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
f
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact hid-
den wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory con-
tacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock.
Position the cord clear of the spinning acces-
f
sory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or
snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into
the spinning wheel.
Never lay the power tool down until the acces-
f
sory has come to a complete stop. The spinning
wheel may grab the surface and pull the power tool
out of your control.
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at
f
your side. Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the ac-
cessory into your body.
Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The
f
motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing
and excessive accumulation of powdered metal
may cause electrical hazards.
Do not operate the power tool near flammable
f
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid cool-
f
ants. Using water or other liquid coolants may re-
sult in electrocution or shock.
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 caus-
es 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 enter-
ing 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 pinch-
ing. 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.
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and po-
f
sition 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 opera-
tor can control torque reactions or kickback forces,
if proper precautions are taken.
Never place your hand near the rotating acces-
f
sory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
Do not position your body in the area where
f
power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kick-
back will propel the tool in direction opposite to
the wheel's movement at the point of snagging.
Use special care when working corners, sharp
f
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.
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade
f
or toothed saw blade. Such blades create fre-
quent kickback and loss of control.
