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.
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.
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.
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, 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.
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
18
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.
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.
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.
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving

blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades
create frequent kickback and loss of
control.
Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding
and Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations
Use only wheel types that are recommen-

ded for your power tool and the specific
guard designed for the selected wheel.
Wheels for which the power tool was not
designed cannot be adequately guarded
and are unsafe.
The grinding surface of centre depressed

wheels must be mounted below the plane
of the guard lip. An improperly mounted
wheel that projects through the plane of
the guard lip cannot be adequately
protected.
The guard must be securely attached to

the power tool and positioned for
maximum safety, so the least amount of
wheel is exposed towards the operator.
The guard helps to protect the operator
from broken wheel fragments, accidental
contact with wheel and sparks that could
ignite clothing.
Wheels must be used only for recommen-

ded applications. For example: do not
grind with the side of cut-off wheel.
Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for
peripheral grinding; side forces applied to
these wheels may cause them to shatter.
