English
The dimensions of the accessory mounting
–
must fit the dimensions of the mounting
hardware of the power tool. Accessories
that do not match the mounting hardware
of the power tool will run out of balance, vi­
brate excessively and may cause loss of
control.
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before
–
each use inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheels for chips and cracks,
backing pad for cracks, tear or excess
wear, wire brush for loose or cracked
wires. If power tool or accessory is drop­
ped, inspect for damage or install an un­
damaged accessory. After inspecting and
installing an accessory, position yourself
and bystanders away from the plane of the
rotating accessory and run the power tool
at maximum no‑load speed for one mi­
nute. Damaged accessories will normally
break apart during this test time.
– Wear personal protective equipment. De­
pending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As ap­
propriate, wear dust mask, hearing pro­
tectors, gloves and workshop apron capa­
ble of stopping small abrasive or work­
piece fragments. The eye protection must
be capable of stopping flying debris gener­
ated by various operations . The dust mask
or respirator must be capable of filtrating
particles generated by your operation. Pro­
longed 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 opera­
tion where the cutting accessory may con­
tact 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 ac­
cessory. 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.
18
The spinning accessory may grab the sur­
face 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 cloth­
ing, 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 haz­
ards.
– Do not operate the power tool near flam­
mable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid
–
coolants. Using water or other liquid cool­
ants 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 cau­
ses 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, de­
pending 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 con­
ditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below.
– Maintain a firm grip with both hands on
the power tool and position your body and
arms to allow you to resist kickback
forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if
provided, for maximum control over kick­
back 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 oc­
