c)
Do not attach a toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
d)
Always feed the bit into the material in the same direction as the cutting edge is exiting from the material (which is the same direction as the
chips are thrown). Feeding the tool in the wrong direction causes the cutting edge of the bit to climb out of the work and pull the tool in the
direction of this feed.
e)
When using rotary files, cut-off wheels, high-speed cutters or tungsten carbide cutters, always have the work securely clamped. These wheels
will grab if they become slightly canted in the groove, and can kickback. When a cut-off wheel grabs, the wheel itself usually breaks. When a
rotary file, high-speed cutter or tungsten carbide cutter grabs, it may jump from the groove and you could lose control of the tool.
Additional safety instructions for grinding and cutting-off operations
Safety warnings specific for grinding and abrasive cutting-off operations:
a)
Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the
side of a cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to
shatter.
b)
For threaded abrasive cones and plugs use only undamaged wheel mandrels with an unrelieved shoulder flange that are of correct size and
length. Proper mandrels will reduce the possibility of breakage.
c)
Do not "jam" a cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases
the loading and susceptibility to twisting or snagging of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
d)
Do not position your hand in line with and behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation, is moving away from your hand,
the possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
e)
When wheel is pinched, snagged or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the power tool motionless until
the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback
may occur. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel pinching or snagging.
f)
Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up
or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
g)
Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their own
weight. Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
