debris generated by various operations. The dust
mask or respirator must be capable of filtering
particles generated by your operation. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity noise may cause hear-
ing loss.
10. Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken blade may
fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area
of operation.
11. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an opera-
tion where the cutting accessory may con-
tact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting
accessory contacting a "live" wire may make ex-
posed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
12. Position the cord clear of the spinning ac-
cessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut
or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled
into the spinning blade.
13. Never lay the power tool down until the ac-
cessory has come to a complete stop. The
spinning blade may grab the surface and pull the
power tool out of your control.
14. Do not run the power tool while carrying
it at your side. Accidental contact with the spin-
ning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling
the accessory into your body.
15. 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.
16. Do not operate the power tool near flam-
mable materials. Sparks could ignite these ma-
terials.

ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
KICKBACK AND RELATED WARNINGS
1. 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 reac-
tions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are
taken.
2. Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory. Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
3. Do not position your body in line with the
rotating blade. Kickback will propel the tool in

direction opposite to the blade's movement at the
point of snagging.
Use special care when working corners,
sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snag-
ging 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, wood carv-
ing blade, segmented diamond blade with
a peripheral gap greater than 10 mm or
toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control.
Do not "jam" the blade or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an ex-
cessive depth of cut. Overstressing the blade
increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting
or bending of the blade in the cut and the possibil-
ity of kickback or blade breakage.
When blade is bending or when interrupt-
ing a cut for any reason, switch off the pow-
er tool and hold the power tool motionless
until the blade comes to a complete stop.
Never attempt to remove the blade from
the cut while the blade is in motion other-
wise kickback may occur. Investigate and take
corrective action to eliminate the cause of blade
bending.
Do not restart the cutting operation in the
workpiece. Let the blade reach full speed
and carefully re-enter the cut. The blade may
bend, walk up or kickback if the power tool is re-
started in the workpiece.
Support panels or any oversized workpiece
to minimize the risk of blade 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 blade.
cut" into existing walls or other blind ar-
eas. The protruding blade may cut gas or water
pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can cause
kickback.
Keep hands away from cutting area and
blade at all times! Keep your second hand
on an auxiliary handle. If both hands are hold-
ing the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
Do not reach underneath the work.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
cutting tools may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will
