stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or
respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your
operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing
loss.
 Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone
entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause
injury beyond immediate area of operation.
 Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
 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 wheel.
 Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a
complete stop. The spinning wheel may grab the surface and pull the
power tool out of your control.
 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.
 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.
 Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could
ignite these materials.
Kickback and related warnings
 Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel.
Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating wheel which in
turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction
opposite of the wheel'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.
 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.
 Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may
kickback over your hand.
