your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.

. The arbour size of wheels and flanges must properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Wheels and

flanges with arbour holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of

balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.

. Do not use damaged wheels. Before each use, inspect the wheels for chips and cracks. If power 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

flying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating

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 wheel may fly 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 flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.

. Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in

electrocution or shock.

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.
