l) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to complete stop.
The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of 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 motor's 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.
FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL OPERATIONS
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel 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 y 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 that 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
allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided,
for maximum control over kickback or torque reaction during start-up.
The operation can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions
are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback
occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel's movement at the
point of snagging.
d) 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.
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade.
Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
