mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively
and may cause loss of control.
f)
Mandrel mounted wheels, sanding drums, cutters or other accessories must be
fully inserted into the collet or chuck. If the mandrel is insufficiently held and / or
the overhang of the wheel is too long, the mounted wheel may become loose and
be ejected at high velocity.
g)
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such
as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, sanding drum for cracks, tear or excess
wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory is dropped,
inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and
installing an accessory, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of
the rotating accessory and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one
minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this test time.
h)
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or
work piece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying
debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be
capable of filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to
high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
i)
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area.
Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury
beyond immediate area of operation.
j)
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
k)
Always hold the tool firmly in your hand(s) during the start-up.
The reaction torque of the motor, as it accelerates to full speed, can cause the
tool to twist.
l)
Use clamps to support workpiece whenever practical. Never hold a small
workpiece in one hand and the tool in the other hand while in use. Clamping a
small workpiece allows you to use your hand(s) to control the tool. Round
material such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing have a tendency to roll while being
cut, and may cause the bit to bind or jump toward you.
m)
Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may
be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
n)
Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop.
The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your
control.
o)
