Do not run the power tool while
l)
carrying it at your side. Accidental
contact with the spinning accessory could
snag your clothing, pulling the accessory
into your body.
m) 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.
n) Do not operate the power tool
near flammable materials. Sparks
could ignite these materials.
o) 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, 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.
42 GB/IE
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
operator 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, segmented
diamond wheel with a peripheral
gap greater than 10 mm or
toothed saw blade. Such blades
create frequent kickback and loss of
control.
Safety warnings specific for
sanding operations
a) Do not allow any loose portion
of the polishing bonnet or its
attachment strings to spin freely.
Tuck away or trim any loose
attachment strings. Loose and
spinning attachment strings can entangle
your fingers or snag on the workpiece.
