f 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 re-

actions or kickback forces, if proper precau-

tions are taken.

f Never place your hand near the rotating ac-

cessory. Accessory may kickback over your

hand.

f Do not position your body in the area where

power tool will move if kickback occurs.

Kickback will propel the tool in direction op-

posite to the wheel’s movement at the point

of snagging.

f Use special care when working corners,

sharp edges, etc. Avoid bouncing and snag-

ging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or

bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotat-

ing accessory and cause loss of control or

kickback.

f Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving

blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades

create frequent kickback and loss of control

over the power tool.

Additional safety instructions for grinding and

cutting off operations

f Use only wheel types that are recommend-

ed for your power tool and the specific

guard designed for the selected wheel.

Wheels for which the power tool was not de-

signed cannot be adequately guarded and

are unsafe.

f The guard must be securely attached to the

power tool and positioned for maximum

safety, so the least amount of wheel is ex-

posed towards the operator. The guard

helps to protect operator from broken wheel

fragments and accidental contact with

wheel.

f Wheels must be used only for recommend-

ed applications. For example: do not grind

with the side of the cut-off wheel. Abrasive

cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral

grinding; side forces applied to these wheels

may cause them to shatter.

f Always use undamaged wheel flanges that

are of correct size and shape for your se-

lected wheel. Proper wheel flanges support

the wheel thus reducing the possibility of

wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels

may be different from grinding wheel flanges.

f Do not use worn down wheels from larger

power tools. Wheels intended for larger

power tools are not suitable for the higher

speed of a smaller tool and may burst.

Additional safety warnings specific for abra-

sive cutting off operations

f Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply ex-

cessive pressure. Do not attempt to make

an excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the

wheel increases the loading and susceptibili-

ty to twisting or binding of the wheel in the

cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel

breakage.

f Do not position your body in line with and

behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel,

at the point of operation, is moving away

from your body, the possible kickback may

propel the spinning wheel and the power

tool directly at you.

f When wheel is binding or when interrupting

a cut for any reason, switch off the power

tool and hold the power tool motionless un-

til the wheel comes to a complete stop. Nev-

er attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from

the cut while the wheel is in motion other-

wise kickback may occur. Investigate and

take corrective action to eliminate the cause

of wheel binding.

f Do not restart the cutting operation in the

workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed

and carefully reenter the cut.

The wheel may

bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is

restarted in the workpiece.

f Support panels or any oversized workpiece

to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and

kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag un-

der their own weight. Supports must be

placed under the workpiece near the line of

cut and near the edge of the workpiece on

both sides of the wheel.
