p)
After changing the bits or making any adjustments, make sure the collet nut, chuck or any other adjustment devices are securely tightened.
Loose adjustment devices can unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control, loose rotating components will be violently thrown.
q)
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.
r)
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.
s)
Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
t)
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, sanding band, 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.
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.
a)
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. The operator can control kickback
forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b)
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.
