dropped, inspect for damage or install an un-
damaged accessory. After inspecting and in-
stalling 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 minute. Damaged acces-
sories will normally break apart during this test time.
i) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending
on application, use face shield, safety goggles or
safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask,
hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece
fragments. The eye protection must be capable of
stopping flying debris generated by various opera-
tions. The dust mask or respirator must be capable
of filtrating particles generated by your operation.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may
cause hearing loss.
j) 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 opera-
tion.
k) Hold 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.
l) Always hold the tool firmly in your hand(s)
during the start-up. The reaction torque of the
motor, as it accelerates to full speed, can cause the
tool to twist.
m) Use clamps to support workpiece whenever
practical. Never hold a small workpiece in one
hand and the tool in the other hand while in use.
Clamping a small workpiece allows you to use your
hand(s) to control the tool. Round material such as
dowel rods, pipes or tubing have a tendency to roll
while being cut, and may cause the bit to bind or
jump toward you.
n) Position the cord clear of the spinning acces-
sory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or
- 12 -
snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into
the spinning accessory.
o) Never lay the power tool down until the acces-
sory has come to a complete stop. The spinning
accessory may grab the surface and pull the power
tool out of your control.
p) After changing the bits or making any adjust-
ments, make sure the collet nut, chuck or any
other adjustment devices are securely tight-
ened. Loose adjustment devices can unexpectedly
shift, causing loss of control, loose rotating compo-
nents will be violently thrown.
q) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at
your side. Accidental contact with the spinning ac-
cessory could snag your clothing, pulling the acces-
sory 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 acces-
sory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the
rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncon-
trolled 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 ma-
terial causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The
wheel may either jump toward or away from the oper-
ator, depending on direction of the wheel's movement
at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break
under these conditions.
