c)
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.
d)
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.
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
OPERATIONS
a)
Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the specifi c
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 centre depressed wheels must be mounted below the
plane 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, 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 fl anges that are of correct size and shape for your
selected wheel.
Proper wheel fl anges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
Flanges for cut-off wheels may be diff erent from grinding wheel fl anges.
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.
