metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
k)
Always hold the tool firmly in your hand(s) during the start-up. The reac-
tion torque of the motor, as it accelerates to full speed, can cause the
tool to twist.
l)
Use clamps to support workpiece whenever practical. Never hold a
small workpiece in one hand and the tool in the other hand while in use.
Clamping a small workpiece allows you to use your hand(s) to control the
tool. Round material such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing have a tendency
to roll while being cut, and may cause the bit to bind or jump toward you.
m)
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.
n)
Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete
stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool
out of your control.
o)
After changing the bits or making any adjustments, make sure the collet
nut, chuck or any other adjustment devices are securely tightened. Loose
adjustment devices can unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control, loose
rotating components will be violently thrown.
p)
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.
q)
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.
r)
Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could
ignite these materials.
s)
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, sanding
band, 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.
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 proce
