tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged wheel. After inspecting and

installing the wheel, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating wheel

and run the power tool at maximum no load speed for one minute. Damaged wheels will normally

break apart during this test time.

• Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or

safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and shop apron capable

of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of stopping

ying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of ltrating

particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing

loss.

• 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 accessory may y away and

cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Do not operate the power tool near ammable 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.

• Maintain a rm 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.

• Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.

• 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.

• Use special care when working corners, sharp edges, etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the
