loss of control.
• Keep your hands away of the motion parts.
• Always use goggles and dust mask when you
are grinding, specially when grind over your
head.
• Be careful with the sparks detached of the
disc when work. Hold the grinder such way
that the sparks fly away of you, other persons
or flammable materials.
• Don't touch the work piece immediately af-
ter of the operation, could be very hot and can
cause hurts.
THE KICKBACK
The kickback is a sudden reaction. The punc-
tured or hooked produces a quick decrease
speed rate causing loose control of the tool
which is directed towards the side which is the
operator.
The kickback is the result of an inappropri-
ate tool use or an incorrect operation. Can be
avoided following these instructions:
1. Keep a firm grip with both hands on the tool.
Position your body properly to resist the force
of kickback. The operator can control torque
reactions if the correct warnings are taken.
2. Never place your hand close to the rotating
accessory. It can cause a kickback over your
hand.
3. Never place your body on the kickback area;
the kickback will propel the tool to the oppo-
site direction of the rotation abrasive disc.
4. Use extra care when working with edges.
These tend to engage the disc.
5. Don't use the tool with cutting saws. These
produce kickback.
