be capable of filtrating particles generated by your
operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise
may cause hearing loss.
k) 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 wheel may fly away and cause injury beyond
immediate area of operation.
I) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory
may contact 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.
m) Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory. lf you lose control, the cord may be cut
or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into
the spinning wheel.
n) Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop.
The spinning wheel may grab the surface and pul1 the
power tool out of your control.
o) 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.
p) 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.
q) Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
r ) Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution or shock.
FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
KICKBACK AND RELATED WARNINGS
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
rotating wheel. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling
of the rotating wheel which in turn causes the uncontrolled
power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the
wheel'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
EN
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
youto resist kickback forces. Always
use auxiliary handle, if provided, for
maximum control over kickback or
torque reaction during start-up. The
operator can control torque reactions or kickback
forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory. Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
c) Do not position your body in line with the
rotating wheel. 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.
f)
Do not "jam" the wheel or apply
excessive pressure. Do not attempt
to make an excessive depth of cut.
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.
g) When wheel is binding or when
interrupting a cut for any reason, switch
off the power tool and hold the power
tool motionless until the wheel Comes
to a complete stop. Never attempt to
remove the wheel from the cut while the
wheel is in motion otherwise kickback
may occur. lnvestigate and take corrective action to
eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
h) 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.
i ) Support panels or any oversized
workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel
