Keep power cord away from rotating work tools. Loss of control over the power tool can lead to cutting
or catching the power cord, also hand or whole arm can get into rotating work tool.
Never put away the power tool before work tool comes to complete stop. Rotating tool can contact
the surface it is put on, which can cause loss of control over the power tool.
Firmly tighten holder nut and other fixing pieces after replacement of work tools or readjusting
the tool. Loose fixing parts can move unexpectedly and cause loss of control over the power tool. Loose
rotating pieces can be projected with high energy.
Do not carry around the power tool when it is rotating. Accidental contact of rotating work tool with
clothes may cause its catching and drilling of work tool into operator's body.
Clean ventilation holes of power tool on regular basis. Motor blower sucks dust into casing and large
depositions of metal dust may cause electric risk. Do not use power tool in proximity of flammable materials.
Sparks can cause ignition.
Do not use tools that require liquid coolant. Use of water or other liquid coolants may cause electric
shock.
KICK BACK AND RELEVANT SAFETY TIPS
Kick back is a sudden power tool reaction to locking or catching of rotating work tool, such as
grinding wheel, disc, wire brush etc. Catching or locking causes sudden stopping of rotating work
tool. Uncontrolled power tool is then pulled in direction opposite to work tool rotations. E.g. when
grinding wheel jams itself in processed piece, wheel edge plunged in material may lock and cause
breaking off or kick back. Grinding wheel movement (towards or away from operator) then depends
on grinding wheel rotation in the place it locked. Grinding wheel may also break. Kick back is a result of
inappropriate use of power tool. It can be avoided by observing below mentioned safety precautions.
Hold the power tool firmly, position your hands and body to limit kick back effect. Always use
additional handle when it is included in standard equipment, to have the greatest possible
control of kick back forces and counter torque during start up. Tool operator can control sudden
pulling and kick back effect by observing appropriate safety precautions.
Be very careful when processing corners, sharp edges etc. Prevent rebound or locking of work
tools. Rotating work tool is more susceptible to jamming when processing corners, sharp edges or after
rebound. It can cause loss of control or kick back.
Do not use toothed blades. Work tools of this type often cause kick back or loss of control over power
tool.
Always engage work tool with material in accordance with direction of rotation as marked on
the tool. Guiding power tool in wrong direction will eject work tool cutting edge from work piece which will
cause power tool pulling in advance direction.
Always firmly fix work piece before processing with rotary files, high speed milling tools or solid
carbide mills. Even slight tilt of work tool in groove may cause its jamming and kick back. Jamming of
file, high speed mill or solid carbide mill may eject work tool from groove and cause loss of control over the
power tool.
SPECIAL SAFETY DIRECTIONS FOR GRINDING AND CUTTING WITH GRINDING WHEEL
Only use grinding wheels designed for the power tool and shield designed for the wheel. Grinding
wheels that are not proper accessories for given power tool may not be sufficiently shielded and safe.
For conical and cylindrical rotary shafts use only grinders of proper size and length, with no
undercut on their seating. Such grinding tools reduce possibility of breaking.
Avoid jamming of cutting wheel and excessive pressure. Do not make too deep cuts. Overloading
a cutting wheel increases its load and risk of jamming or locking, and in consequence kick back or wheel
breaking.
Do not put your hands in front of and behind rotating cutting wheel. In the event of kick back,
cutting wheel advance in work piece away from you may cause bouncing of the power tool with rotating
wheel towards your hand.
In the event of jamming or locking of cutting wheel or having a break in work, switch off the
power tool and wait until wheel comes to complete stop. Never attempt to remove rotating
wheel from cut material, as this may cause kick back. Try to eliminate cause of jamming or locking
of wheel.
