2.
Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory. Accessory may kickback over
your hand.
3.
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.
4.
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.
5.
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
Operations
1.
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.
2.
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.
3.
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.
4.
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.
5.
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.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding
Operations
1.
Do not use excessively oversized
sanding disc paper. Follow
manufacturer's recommendations, when
selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding
paper extending beyond the sanding pad
presents a laceration hazard and may cause
snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire
Brushing Operations
1.
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown
by the brush even during ordinary
operation. Do not overstress the wires
by applying excessive load to the brush.
The wire bristles can easily penetrate light
clothing and/or skin.
2.
If the use of a guard is recommended
for wire brushing, do not allow any
interference of the wire wheel or brush
with the guard. Wire wheel or brush may
expand in diameter due to work load and
centrifugal forces.
