operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise

may cause hearing loss.

uKeep 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 operation.

uHold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,

when performing an operation where the cutting ac-

cessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.

Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make ex-

posed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give

the operator an electric shock.

uAlways hold the tool firmly in your hand(s) during the

start-up. The reaction torque of the motor, as it acceler-

ates to full speed, can cause the tool to twist.

uUse 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 work-

piece 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.

uPosition 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 accessory.

uNever 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 con-

trol.

uAfter changing the bits or making any adjustments,

make sure the collet nut, chuck or any other adjust-

ment devices are securely tightened. Loose adjustment

devices can unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control,

loose rotating components will be violently thrown.

uDo 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.

uRegularly 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.

uDo not operate the power tool near flammable materi-

als. Sparks could ignite these materials.

uDo not use accessories that require liquid coolants.

Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electro-

cution or shock.

Kickback and related warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotat-

ing wheel, sanding band, brush or any other accessory.

Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating ac-

cessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to

be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’s rota-

tion.

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 direc-

tion of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching. Abras-

ive 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.

uMaintain 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.

uUse 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.

uDo not attach a toothed saw blade. Such blades create

frequent kickback and loss of control.

uAlways feed the bit into the material in the same dir-

ection 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.

uWhen using rotary files, cut-off wheels, high-speed

cutters or tungsten carbide cutters, always have the

work securely clamped. These wheels will grab if they

become slightly canted in the groove, and can kickback.

When a cut-off wheel grabs, the wheel itself usually

breaks. When the rotary file, high-speed cutter or tung-

sten carbide cutter grab, it may jump from the groove and

you could lose control of the tool.

Safety warnings specific for grinding and abrasive

cutting-off operations

uUse 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 peri-

pheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may

cause them to shatter.

uFor threaded abrasive cones and plugs use only un-

damaged wheel mandrels with an unrelieved shoulder

flange that are of correct size and length. Proper man-

drels will reduce the possibility of breakage.

uDo not “jam” a cut-off wheel or apply excessive pres-

sure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of

cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and

susceptibility to twisting or snagging of the wheel in the

cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.

uDo not position your hand in line with and behind the

rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of opera-

tion, is moving away from your hand, the possible kick-

back may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool

directly at you.
