n) 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.
o) 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.
p) 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.
q) 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.
r) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
s) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid
coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
t) Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a capacity of 5 Amps at
least.
Kickback Safety
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.
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 control kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
b) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and
snagging 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
control.
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 direction 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.
e) When using rotary files, cut-off wheels, high-speed cutters or tungsten carbide
cutters, always have the work securely clamped. These wheels will grab if they
become slightly canted in the groove, and can kickback. When a cut-off wheel grabs,
the wheel itself usually breaks. When a rotary file, high-speed cutter or tungsten carbide
cutter grabs, it may jump from the groove and you could lose control of the tool.
Safety for Grinding and Abrasive Cutting-off Operations
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and only for
recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of a cut-off
wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied
to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
b) For threaded abrasive cones and plugs use only undamaged wheel mandrels with
an unrelieved shoulder flange that are of correct size and length. Proper mandrels
will reduce the possibility of breakage.
c) Do not "jam" a cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to
make an excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and
susceptibility to twisting or snagging of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of
kickback or wheel breakage.
d) 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 spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
e) When wheel is pinched, snagged or when interrupting a cut for any reason,
switch off the power tool and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel
comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the
cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and
take corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel pinching or snagging.
f) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full
speed and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the
power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
g) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel
pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight.
Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of
the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
h) Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut" into existing walls or other blind
areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects
that can cause kickback.

Safety Warnings for Wire Brush Operation
a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even during ordinary
operation. Do not overstress the wires by applying excessive load to the brush.
The wire bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b) Allow brushes to run at operating speed for at least one minute before using
them. During this time no one is to stand in front or in line with the brush. Loose
bristles or wires will be discharged during the run-in time.
c) Direct the discharge of the spinning wire brush away from you. Small particles and
tiny wire fragments may be discharged at high velocity during the use of these brushes
and may become imbedded in your skin.
