spinning accessory may grab the surface and
pull the power tool out of your control.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
• 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, backing pad, 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 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 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.
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
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.
• Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory. The accessory may kickback over
your hand.
• Do not position your body in the area where
the power tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in the direction
opposite to the wheel's movement at the
point of snagging.
• 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.
• Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving
blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades
create frequent kickback and loss of control
over the power tool.
Additional safety instructions for grinding
and cutting off operations
• 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.
• The guard must be securely attached to the
power tool and positioned for maximum
safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed
towards the operator. The guard
helps to protect operator from broken wheel
fragments and accidental contact with
wheel.
• Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind
with the side of the cut-off wheel. Abrasive
