i)
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.
j)
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live"
wire will also make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
k)
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.
l)
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.
m) 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.
n)
Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
o)
Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution or shock.
p)
Your hand must hold on the handle when you are
8
working. Always use the auxiliary handles supplied
with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal
EN
injury.
FURTHER SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL
OPERATIONS
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 toward 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 and 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 direction opposite
to the wheel's movement at the point of snagging.
d)
Use special care when working corners,
sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and
snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges
or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating
accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
e)
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving
blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades
create frequent kickback and loss of control.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS FOR
GRINDING OPERATIONS
Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding
Operations:
a)
Use only wheel types that are
recommended for your power tool and the
specific guard designed for the selected
wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not
designed cannot be adequately guarded and are
unsafe
b)
The grinding surface of centre depressed
wheels must be mounted below the plane
of the guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel
that projects through the plane of the guard lip
cannot be adequately protected.
c)
The guard must be securely attached to
the power tool and positioned for maximum
safety, so the least amount of wheel is
exposed towards the operator. The guard
helps to protect the operator from broken wheel
fragments, accidental contact with wheel and
sparks that could ignite clothing.
d)
Wheels must be used only for
recommended applications. For example:
do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel.
Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral
grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may
cause them to shatter.
e)
Always use undamaged wheel flanges
that are of correct size and shape for your
selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges support
the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel
breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be
different from grinding wheel flanges.
f)
Do not use worn down wheels from larger
power tools. Wheel intended for larger power
tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller
tool and may burst.
