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 re-
commended 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 the center
depressed wheels must be mounted
below the planned 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
and 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.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR ABRASIVE
CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
a) Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or
apply excessive pressure. Do not
attempt to make excessive depth
of cut. Overstressing the wheel
increases the loading and suscptibility
to twisting or binding of the wheel in
the cut and 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 unitl the wheel
comes to a complete stop. Never
attempt to remove the cut-off wheel
from teh cut while wheel is in motion
otherwise kickback may occur.
Investigate and take corrective action to
eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation
in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach
full speed and carefully reenter the
cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or
kickback if the power tool is restarted in
the workpiece.
e) Support panels or any oversized
workpiece to minimize the risk of
wheel pinching and kickback. Large
workpieces tend to sag under their own
weight. Supports must be placed under
the workpiece near the line of cut and
near the edge of the workpiece on both
sides of the wheel.
f) Use extra caution when making a
"pocket cut" into existing walls or
other blind areas.The protruding
wheel may cut gas or water pipes,
electrical wiring or objects that can
cause kickback.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR
SANDING OPERATIONS
a) Do not use excessively oversized
sanding disc paper. Follow
manufacturers 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
a) 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.
b) 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 and centrifugal forces.
c) Safety glasses: Safety Goggles or safety
glasses with side shields and a full face
shield compliant with ANSI Z87.1 eye
protection (CAN/CPA Z94.3), must be worn
by the operator and others that are within
50 feet of the use of this product/accessory.
