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.

i) Hold 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 shock the operator.

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.

k) 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.

l) 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.

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.

p) Do not use Type 11 (flaring cup) wheels on this tool. Using inappropriate

accessories can result in injury.

q) Always use auxiliary handle. Tighten the handle securely. The auxiliary

handle should always be used to maintain control of the tool at all times.

r) Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the work piece

to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it

unstable and may lead to loss of control.

s) When starting the tool with a new or replacement wheel, or a new or

replacement wire brush installed, hold the tool in a well protected area and let

it run for one minute. If the wheel has an undetected crack or flaw, it should burst

in less than one minute. If the wire brush has loose wires, they will be detected.

Never start the tool with a person in line with the wheel. This includes the operator.

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 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 reaction 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.
