sive 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 unda-
maged 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.
i) 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 fl ying debris generated by various
operations. The dust mask or respirator must be
capable of fi ltrating particles generated by your
operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
j) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work
area. Anyone entering the work area must wear
personal protective equipment. Fragments of work-
piece or of a broken accessory may fl y away and
cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
k) 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.
l) Always hold the tool fi rmly in your hand(s) during
the start-up. The reaction torque of the motor, as it
accelerates to full speed, can cause the tool to twist.
m) 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 ten-
dency to roll while being cut, and may cause the
bit to bind or jump toward you.

n) Position the cord clear of the spinning acces-
sory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or
snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled
into the spinning accessory.
o) Never lay the power tool down until the acces-
sory has come to a complete stop. The spinning
accessory may grab the surface and pull the po-
wer tool out of your control.
p) After changing the bits or making any adjust-
ments, 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 com-
ponents will be violently thrown.
q) 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.
r) 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.
s) Do not operate the power tool near fl ammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
t) Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants
may result in electrocution or shock.

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
tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the
accessory's rotation.
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
