inserted into the collet or chuck. If the mandrel

is insufficiently held and/or the overhang of

the wheel is too long, the mounted wheel may

become loose and be ejected at high velocity.

h) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before

each use inspect the accessory such as

abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, sanding

drum 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 accessory,

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.

i) Wear personal protective equipment.

Depending on application, use face

shield, safety goggles or safety glasses.

As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing

protectors, gloves and workshop 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.

j) 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 fly away and cause injury beyond immediate

area of operation.

k) Hold power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces only, when performing an operation

where the cutting accessory may contact

hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a

“live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the

power tool “live” and could give the operator an

electric shock.

l) Always hold the tool firmly in your hand(s)

during the start-up. The reaction torque of the

motor, as it accelerates to full speed, can cause

the tool to twist.

m) Use clamps to support workpiece whenever

practical. Never hold a small workpiece in

one hand and the tool in the other hand while

in use. Clamping a small workpiece allows you

to use your hand(s) to control the tool. Round

material such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing have

a tendency to roll while being cut, and may cause

the bit to bind or jump toward you.

n) 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 accessory.

o) 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.

p) After changing the bits or making any

adjustments, make sure the collet nut, chuck

or any other adjustment devices are securely

tightened. Loose adjustment devices can

unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control, loose

rotating components will be violently thrown.

q) 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.

r) 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.

s) Do not operate the power tool near flammable

materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.

t) 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, sanding band, 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.

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.
