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 workpiece fragments.
The eyes have to be protected from
foreign objects that are generated and
ejected by the various applications. 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 others at a safe distance from
your work area. Anyone entering
the work area must wear personal
protective equipment. Fragments of
the workpiece or of a broken tool may
be thrown out and cause injury beyond
immediate area of work.
j) Keep the power cord away from the
rotating tool bit. If you lose control of
the power tool, the power cord may be
cut or snagged and your hand or arm may
come into contact with the rotating tool
bit.
k) Never put the power tool down before
the tool bit stops completely. The
spinning accessory may grab the surface
and pull the power tool out of your
control.
l) Do not allow the power tool to run
while carrying it. Accidental contact
with the spinning accessory could snag
your clothing, pulling the accessory into
your body.
m) Clean your power tool's ventilation
slots regularly. The motor's fan will draw
the dust inside the housing and excessive
accumulation of powdered metal may
cause electrical hazards.

n) Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could
ignite these materials.
o) Do not use tool bits that require liquid
coolant. Using water or other liquid
coolants may result in electrocution or
shock.

Kickback and corresponding safety
instructions
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched
or snagged rotating tool bit such as sanding
disc, sanding pad, wire brush etc. Snagging
or blocking causes the rotating tool bit
to stop abruptly. This in turn causes the
uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the
direction opposite to the tool bit's rotation
at the blocked point.
For example, if a grinding disc is snagged or
pinched in the workpiece, the edge of the
grinding disc that is making contact with the
workpiece, can get snagged in the material
causing the disc to break or kickback. The
wheel may either jump toward or away from
the operator, depending 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 using the power tool
in an incorrect or improper manner. Kickback
can be avoided by taking appropriate
precautions, as described below:
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power
tool and position your body and arm
to allow you to resist kickback forces.
Always use the additional handle, if
provided, for maximum control over
kickback or torque reaction during
start-up. The operator can control
torque reactions or kickback forces, if
proper precautions are taken.
