cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for
loose or cracked wires. If power tool or
accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or
install an undamaged
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 minute. Damaged accessories
will normally break apart during this test time.
h.
Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As
appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or
workpiece fragments. The eye protection must
be capable of stopping flying debris generated
by various operations . The dust mask or
respirator must be capable of filtrating
particles generated by your operation.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may
cause hearing loss.
i.
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.
j.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
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.
k.
Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be
cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be
pulled into the spinning accessory.
l.
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.
m.
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.
n.
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.
o.
Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
p.
Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants
may result in electrocution or shock.
FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL
OPERATIONS 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
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. 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.
