f Do not use a damaged accessory. Before

each use inspect the accessory such as

abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, back-

ing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire

brush for loose or cracked wires. If power

tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for

damage or install an undamaged accessory.

After inspecting and installing an accesso-

ry, 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 accessories

will normally break apart during this test

time.

f Wear personal protective equipment. De-

pending on application, use face shield,

safety goggles or safety glasses. As appro-

priate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors,

gloves and workshop apron capable of stop-

ping small abrasive or workpiece frag-

ments. The eye protection must be capable

of stopping flying debris generated by vari-

ous operations. The dust mask or respirator

must be capable of filtrating particles gener-

ated by your operation. Prolonged exposure

to high intensity noise may cause hearing

loss.

f 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 ac-

cessory may fly away and cause injury be-

yond immediate area of operation.

f Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-

faces only, when performing an operation

where the cutting accessory may contact

hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting ac-

cessory contacting a “live” wire may make ex-

posed metal parts of the power tool “live”

and shock the operator.

f Position the cord clear of the spinning ac-

cessory. If you lose control of the power tool,

the cord may be cut or snagged and your

hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning

accessory.

f Never lay the power tool down until the ac-

cessory has come to a complete stop. The

spinning accessory may grab the surface and

pull the power tool out of your control.

f 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.

f Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents.

The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the

housing and excessive accumulation of pow-

dered metal may cause electrical hazards.

f Do not operate the power tool near flamma-

ble materials. Sparks could ignite these ma-

terials.

f Do not use accessories that require liquid

coolants. Using water or other liquid cool-

ants may result in electrocution or shock.

Kickback and related warnings

f Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or

snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush

or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging

causes rapid stalling of the rotating accesso-

ry which in turn causes the uncontrolled

power tool to be forced in the direction op-

posite of the accessory’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 caus-

ing 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.
