brate excessively and may cause loss of

control.

–Do not use a damaged accessory. Before

each use inspect the accessory such as

abrasive wheels for chips and cracks,

backing pad for cracks, tear or excess

wear, wire brush for loose or cracked

wires. If power tool or accessory is drop

ped, inspect for damage or install an un

damaged 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 mi

nute. Damaged accessories will normally

break apart during this test time.

–Wear personal protective equipment. De

pending on application, use face shield,

safety goggles or safety glasses. As ap

propriate, wear dust mask, hearing pro

tectors, gloves and workshop apron capa

ble of stopping small abrasive or work

piece fragments. The eye protection must

be capable of stopping flying debris gener

ated by various operations . The dust mask

or respirator must be capable of filtrating

particles generated by your operation. Pro

longed 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 fly away and cause

injury beyond immediate area of operation.

–Hold the power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces only, when performing an opera

tion where the cutting accessory may con

tact 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 ac

cessory. If you lose control, the cord may

be cut or snagged and your hand or arm

may be pulled into the spinning accessory.

–Never lay the power tool down until the

accessory has come to a complete stop.

The spinning accessory may grab the sur

face 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 cloth

ing, 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 haz

ards.

–Do not operate the power tool near flam

mable materials. Sparks could ignite these

materials.

–Do not use accessories that require liquid

coolants. Using water or other liquid cool

ants may result in electrocution or shock.

Kickback and Related Warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or

snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or

any other accessory. Pinching or snagging cau

ses 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, de

pending 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 con

ditions and can be avoided by taking proper

precautions as given below.

–Maintain a firm grip with both hands on

the power tool and position your body and

arms to allow you to resist kickback

forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if

provided, for maximum control over kick

back 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 the area

where power tool will move if kickback oc

curs. Kickback will propel the tool in direc

tion opposite to the wheel’s movement at

the point of snagging.

–Use special care when working corners,

sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snag
