• Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may
grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
• Do not run the power tool while transporting it. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your
clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
• Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
KICKBACK AND OTHER 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, resulting in a
catastrophic loss of control.
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 and may also break or shatter 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not attach a toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
• Always feed the bit into the material in the same direction as the cutting edge is exiting from the material
(which is the same direction as the chips are thrown). Feeding the tool in the wrong direction causes the cutting
edge of the bit to climb out of the work and pull the tool in the direction of this feed.
• When using rotary files, cut-off wheels, high-speed cutters or tungsten carbide cutters, always have the
workpiece securely clamped. These wheels will grab if they become canted in the groove, and can kickback.
When a cut-off wheel grabs, the wheel itself usually breaks. When a rotary file, high-speed cutter or tungsten
carbide cutter grabs, it may jump from the groove and you could lose control of the power tool.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR GRINDING AND ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS:
• Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and only for recommended applications. For
example: do not grind with the side of a cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral
grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
• For threaded abrasive cones and plugs use only undamaged wheel mandrels with an unrelieved shoulder
flange that are of correct size and length. Proper mandrels will reduce the possibility of breakage.
• Do not "jam" a cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make a cut which exceeds the
rating of the accessory. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or snagging
the wheel and increases the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
• Do not position your hand in line with or behind the rotating wheel. If the wheel, is moving directly away from
your hand, the kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
• When the wheel is pinched, snagged 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 cut-off
