■ Mandrel mounted wheels, sanding
drums, cutters or other accessories must
be fully inserted into the collet or chuck.
If the mandrel is insufficiently held and/or
the overhang of the wheel is too long, the
mounted wheel may become loose and be
ejected at high velocity.
■ Do not use a damaged accessory.
Before each use inspect the accessory
such as abrasive wheels for chips and
cracks, sanding drum for 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.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ Hold 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.
■ Always hold the tool firmly in your
hand(s) during the start-up. The reaction
torque of the motor, as it accelerates to full
16
speed, can cause the tool to twist.
■ Use clamps to support workpiece
whenever practical. Never hold a small
workpiece in one hand and the tool in
the other hand while in use. Clamping
a small workpiece allows you to use your
hand(s) to control the tool. Round material
such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing have a
tendency to roll while being cut, and may
cause the bit to bind or jump toward you.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
■ Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid
coolants may result in electrocution or
shock.

operations
Kickback and related warnings
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
