Specific Safety

Safety warnings common for grinding, sanding, wire brushing, polishing
or abrasive cutting-off operations
a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder,
sander, wire brush or cut-off tool. Read all safety
warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with the power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
b) Operations such as polishing are not recommended to be
performed with this power tool. Operations for which the
power tool was not designed may create a hazard and
cause personal injury.
Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed
c)
and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because
the accessory can be attached to your power tool it does not
assure safe operation.
d) The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to
the maximum speed marked on the power tool.
Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break
and fly apart.
e) The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory
must be within the capacity rating of your power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded
or controlled.
f) The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any
other accessory must properly fit on the spindle of your
power tool. Accessories with arbour holes that do not
match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out
of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of
control.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect
the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks,
backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush,
wire, 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.
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
h)
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. 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.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from the work area.
i)
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 to your side.
Accidental contact with the spinning accessory may snag
clothing, pulling the accessory towards your body.
n) Regularly clean the power tool's vents. The motor's fan will
draw the dust inside the housing and excessive
accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical
hazards.
Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials.
o)
Sparks could ignite these materials.
p) Even when this tool is used as prescribed it is not possible
to eliminate all residual risk factors. If you are in any doubt
as to the safe use of this tool, do not use it.
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 towards 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 an 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.
c) Do not position your body in the area where power tool
will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in
the direction opposite to the wheel's movement at the point
of snagging.
