The operator cancontrol torque r eaction orkickback forces, if
proper precautions
aretaken.
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 too/
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.
Comers,
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
Safety
Warnings
Specific
for Grinding
and
Abrasive
Cutting-Off
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 too/was
not
designed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
b) The grinding
surface of center
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 operator from broken wheel fragments and
accidental contact with wheel
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.
0 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.
Additional
Safety
Warnings
Specific
for
Abrasive
Cutting-Off
Operations
a) Do not
"jam"
the 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 binding of the wheel in the cut and
the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
b) Do not position your body in line with and behind
the
rotating
wheel
When the wheel, at the point of operation, is
moving away from your body, the possible kickback may propel
the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
c) When wheel is binding 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 binding.
