f 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.

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 hous-

ing and excessive accumulation of powdered

metal may cause electrical hazards.

f Do not operate the power tool near flamma-

ble materials. Sparks could ignite these materi-

als.

f Do not use accessories that require liquid

coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants

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 accessory which in

turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be

forced in the direction opposite 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 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 con-

ditions.

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.

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 reac-

tions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are

taken.

f Never place your hand near the rotating

accessory. The accessory may kickback over

your hand.

f Do not position your body in the area where

the power tool will move if kickback occurs.

Kickback will propel the tool in the direction oppo-

site to the wheel’s movement at the point of snag-

ging.

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 rotating

accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.

f Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving

blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades cre-

ate frequent kickback and loss of control over the

power tool.

Additional safety instructions for

grinding and cutting off operations

f Always use guard designed for the type of

wheel you are using. The guard must be

securely attached to the power tool and

positioned for maximum safety, so the least

amount of wheel is exposed towards the

operator. The guard helps to protect operator

from broken wheel fragments and accidental con-

tact with wheel.

f Use only wheel types that are recommended

for your power tool and the specific guard

designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for

which the power tool was not designed cannot be

adequately guarded and are unsafe.

f Wheels must be used only for recommended

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 shat-

ter.

f Always use undamaged wheel flanges that

are of correct size and shape for your

selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges support

the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel

breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be differ-

ent 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 abrasive cutting off operations

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

excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make

an excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the

wheel increases the loading and susceptibility 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 spin-

ning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
