SAFETY INFORMATION
11. 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.
12. Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be
cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning wheel.
13. Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The
spinning wheel may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
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 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:
1. Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to
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.
2. Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving blade, segmented diamond wheel or toothed
saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
