12. Always hold the tool firmly in your hand(s) dur-

ing the start-up. The reaction torque of the motor,

as it accelerates to full speed, can cause the tool to

twist.

13. 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.

14. Position the cord clear of the spinning acces-

sory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or

snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into

the spinning accessory.

15. Never lay the power tool down until the acces-

sory has come to a complete stop. The spinning

accessory may grab the surface and pull the power

tool out of your control.

16. After changing the bits or making any adjust-

ments, 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.

17. 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.

18. 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.

19. Do not operate the power tool near flammable

materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.

20. Do not use accessories that require liquid cool-

ants. 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 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 mate-

rial 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 incor-

rect 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. The operator can con-

trol kickback forces, if proper precautions are

taken.

b) 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.

c) Do not attach a toothed saw blade. Such

blades create frequent kickback and loss of con-

trol.

d) Always feed the bit into the material in the

same direction as the cutting edge is exiting

from the material (which is the same direc-

tion as the chips are thrown). Feeding the tool

in the wrong direction causes the cutting edge of

the bit to climb out of the work and pull the tool in

the direction of this feed.

Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding:

a) Use only wheel types that are recommended

for your power tool and only for recom-

mended applications.

b) Do not position your hand in line with and

behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at

the point of operation, is moving away from your

hand, the possible kickback may propel the spin-

ning wheel and the power tool directly at you.

Additional Safety Warnings:

21. The tool is intended for use with bonded abra-

sive wheel points (grinding stones) permanently

mounted on plain, unthreaded mandrel (shanks).

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

piece before the switch is turned on.

23. 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.

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

form the grinding.

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

sparks fly away from you and other persons or

flammable materials.

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

only when hand-held.

27. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after

operation; it may be extremely hot and could

burn your skin.

28. Observe the instructions of the manufacturer for

correct mounting and use of wheels. Handle and

store wheels with care.

29. Check that the workpiece is properly supported.

30. 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.

31. Do not use the tool on any materials containing

asbestos.

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

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

tions.
