  • Page 16 Safety Additional Safety warnings f) Do not use a damaged accessory . Before each use inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear and wire brushes for loose or cracked wires .
  • Page 17 Safety Additional Safety warnings complete stop .

  • Page 18: Kickback And Related Warnings

    Safety 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.
  • Page 19 Safety 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 tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded that are unsafe.
  • Page 20 Safety 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.
  • Page 21 Safety Safety warnings specific for sanding operations a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper . Follow manufacturer’s recommendations, when selecting sand paper . Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
  • Page 22 Safety Machine specific safety warnings a) Use the machine only for dry sanding . Penetration of water into the machine increases the risk of an electric shock. b) Keep hands away from the sawing range . Do not reach under the workpiece .
