and cause injury beyond immediate
area of operation.
• Hold the power tool by insu-
lated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where
the cutting accessory or fasten-
ers may contact hidden wiring
or its own cord. Cutting accessor-
ies or fasteners contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
• 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.
• Never lay the power tool down
until the accessory has come to
a complete stop. The spinning ac-
cessory may grab the surface and pull
the power tool out of your control.
• Do not run the power tool while
carrying it at your side. Accident-
al contact with the spinning accessory
could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.
• Regularly clean the power
tool's air vents. The motor's fan will
draw the dust inside the housing and
excessive accumulation of powdered
metal may cause electrical hazards.
• Do not operate the power tool
near flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
• Do not use accessories that re-
quire liquid coolants. Using wa-
ter or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a
pinched or snagged rotating wheel, back-
ing 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.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is
snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the
edge of the wheel that is entering into the
pinch point can dig into the surface of the
material causing the wheel to climb out
or kick out. The wheel may either jump to-
ward or away from the operator, depend-
ing on direction of the wheel's movement
at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels
may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse
and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below.
• Maintain a firm grip with both
hands on the power tool and
position your body and arms
to allow you to resist kickback
forces. Always use auxiliary
handle, if provided, for max-
imum control over kickback or
torque reaction during start-up.
The operator can control torque reac-
tions or kickback forces, if proper pre-
cautions are taken.
• Never place your hand near the
rotating accessory. Accessory may
kickback over your hand.
• Do not position your body in
the area where power tool will
move if kickback occurs. Kick-
back will propel the tool in direction
opposite to the wheel's movement at
the point of snagging.
• Use special care when work-
ing corners, sharp edges, etc.
Avoid bouncing and snagging
the accessory. Corners, sharp
edges or bouncing have a tendency to
