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,
segmented diamond wheel with a peripheral gap
greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade. Such
blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and
Cutting‑Off Operations:
a ) Use only wheel types that are specified 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.
b ) The grinding surface of center 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.
c ) 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.
d ) Wheels must be used only for specified
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.
e ) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are
of correct size and shape for your selected wheel.
Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing
the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut‑off
wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges.
f ) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power
tools. A wheel intended for larger power tool is not
suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and
may burst.
g ) When using dual purpose wheels always use
the correct guard for the application being
performed. Failure to use the correct guard may not
provide the desired level of guarding, which could lead
to serious injury.
Additional Safety Warnings Specific for
Cutting‑Off Operations:
a ) Do not "jam" the cut‑off wheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive
depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the
8
loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of
the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or
wheel breakage.
b ) Do not position your body in line with and behind
the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of
operation, is moving away from your body, the possible
kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power
tool directly at you.
c ) When the wheel is binding or when interrupting
a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool
and hold it motionless until the wheel comes to
a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the
cut‑off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in
motion otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate
and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of
wheel binding.
d ) Do not restart the cutting operation in the
workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and
carefully re‑enter the cut. The wheel may bind,
walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in
the workpiece.
e ) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to
minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback.
Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight.
Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the
line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both
sides of the wheel.
f ) Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut"
into existing walls or other blind areas. The
protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical
wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
g ) Do not attempt to do curved cutting. Overstressing
the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to
twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the
possibility of kickback or wheel breakage, which can
lead to serious injury.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding
Operations:
a ) Use proper sized sanding disc paper. Follow
manufacturers recommendations, when selecting
sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending
too far beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration
hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc
or kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing
Operations:
a ) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the
brush even during ordinary operation. Do not
overstress the wires by applying excessive load to
the brush. The wire bristles can easily penetrate light
clothing and/or skin.
b ) If the use of a guard is specified for wire brushing,
do not allow any interference of the wire wheel
or brush with the guard. Wire wheel or brush
may expand in diameter due to work load and
centrifugal forces.
