12. 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.

13. Do not operate the power tool near flammable

materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.

14. Do not use accessories that require liquid cool-

ants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result

in electrocution or shock.

15. 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 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 sur-

face 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 condi-

tions.

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.

a) 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 reactions or

kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.

b) Never place your hand near the rotating

accessory. Accessory may kickback over your

hand.

c) Do not position your body in the area where

power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kick-

back will propel the tool in direction opposite to

the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.

d) 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.

e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade

or toothed saw blade. Such blades create fre-

quent kickback and loss of control.

16. Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding:

a) Use only wheel types that are recommended

for your power tool.

b) Wheels must be used only for recommended

applications. For example: do not grind with

the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off

wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side

forces applied to these wheels may cause them

to shatter.

c) Do not use worn down wheels from larger

power tools. Wheel intended for larger power

tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a

smaller tool and may burst.

Additional Safety Warnings:

17. Make sure the wheel is not contacting the work-

piece before the switch is turned on.

18. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let

it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling

that could indicate poor installation or a poorly

balanced wheel.

19. Use the specified surface of the wheel to per-

form the grinding.

20. Watch out for flying sparks. Hold the tool so that

sparks fly away from you and other persons or

flammable materials.

21. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool

only when hand-held.

22. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after

operation; it may be extremely hot and could

burn your skin.

23. Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged or that the battery cartridge is

removed before carrying out any work on the

tool.

24. Observe the instructions of the manufacturer for

correct mounting and use of wheels.

Handle and store wheels with care.

25. Check that the workpiece is properly supported.

26. If working place is extremely hot and humid, or

badly polluted by conductive dust, use a short-

circuit breaker (30 mA) to assure operator safety.

27. Do not use the tool on any materials containing

asbestos.

28. This tool has not been waterproofed, so do not

use water on the workpiece surface.

29. Ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear

when working in dusty conditions. If it should

become necessary to clear dust, first disconnect

the tool from the mains supply (use non metallic

objects) and avoid damaging internal parts.

30. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be sure

no one is below when using the tool in high loca-

tions.
