Page 17
Safety Additional Safety warnings complete stop . The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control. m) 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.
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 .
