shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask,
abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of
hearing protectors, gloves and work shop apron capable of stopping small

i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the
or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area
of operation.
j) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an
own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its
parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator.
k) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord
may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning
accessory.

l) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete
your control.
m)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.
n) Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The motorʼs fan will draw the dust
inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause
electrical hazards.
o) Do not operate the power tool near flammable 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.
q) Do not use Type 11 (flaring cup) wheels on this tool. Using inappropriate
accessories can result in injury.
r) Always use side handle. Tighten the handle securely. The side handle should
always be used to maintain control of the tool at all times.
s) Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the work piece to
a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control.

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 accessoryʼs 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 wheelʼs
movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these
conditions.
Kickback is the result of 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
for maximum control over kickback or torque reaction during start up. The

operator can control torque reaction or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback
