2.
Never place your hand near the rotating acces-
sory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
3.
Do not position your body in the area where
power tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite
to the wheel's movement at the point of snagging.
4.
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.
5.
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade
or toothed saw blade. Such blades create fre-
quent kickback and loss of control.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations:
Do not use excessively oversized sanding
1.
disc paper. Follow manufacturers recommen-
dations, when selecting sanding paper. Larger
sanding paper extending beyond the sanding
pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause
snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
Additional Safety Warnings:
1.
Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
2.
Check that the workpiece is properly
supported.
Pay attention that the pad continues to rotate
3.
after the tool is switched off.
4.
If working place is extremely hot and humid,
or badly polluted by conductive dust, use a
short-circuit breaker (30 mA) to assure opera-
tor safety.
Do not use the tool on any materials contain-
5.
ing asbestos.
6.
Do not use cloth work gloves during operation.
Fibers from cloth gloves may enter the tool, which
causes tool breakage.
7.
Always work in well ventilated area.
8.
When placing the tool, place it on a flat and
stable surface.
9.
When operating the tool, connect the tool to a
vacuum cleaner as much as possible to keep
the working area clean and prevent the oper-
ator from inhaling particles generated by the
operation.
10. Handle and store accessories with care.
