Test the tool by plugging it directly to the power supply. If it powers on,
change the extension cord with the correct rating and as short as needed.
The workpiece may also need to be relocated closer to the power supply.
KICKBACK PRECAUTIONS
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned disc,
causing an uncontrolled tool to lift up and out of the workpiece toward
the operator; - when the disc is pinched or bound tightly by the
workpiece closing down, the disc stalls and the motor reaction drives the
tool rapidly back toward the operator. Kickback may result in loss of
control of the tool leading to serious personal injury and I or damage to
the workpiece and I or tool.
Kickback can be avoided by taking proper precautions:
1. Maintain a firm grip on the tool and position your body and arms to
allow you to resist kickback forces. Kickback will propel the tool in
the direction opposite to the wheel's movement at the time
of snagging.
2. Never place your hand near the disc. If kickback occurs, the disc may
pass over your hand and seriously injury you. Use clamps or a vice to
hold down the workpiece.
3. Use special care when working on corners, sharp edges etc. Corners,
sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the disc and cause
loss of control or kickback.
4. When the disc is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason,
release the trigger and hold the tool motionless in the material until
the tool comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the tool
from the workpiece or pull the tool backward while the disc is in
motion or kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions
to eliminate the cause of disc binding.
