The reaction torque of the motor, as it
accelerates to full speed, can cause the tool
to twist.
m) 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.
n) 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.
o) 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.
p) After changing the bits or making any
adjustments, make sure the collet nut,
chuck or any other adjustment devices
are securely tightened.
Loose adjustment devices can unexpectedly
shift, causing loss of control, loose rotating
components will be violently thrown.
q) Do not run the power tool while carrying it
at your side.
Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling
the accessory into your body.
r) 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.
s) Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
t) Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants.
Using water 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, sanding band, 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
6
forced in the direction opposite of the accessory's
rotation.
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
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 power tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arm to allow you
to resist kickback forces.
The operator can control kickback forces, if
proper precautions are taken.
b) 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.
c) Do not attach a toothed saw blade.
Such blades create frequent kickback and
loss of control.
d) Always feed the bit into the material in
the same direction as the cutting edge
is exiting from the material (which is the
same direction as the chips are thrown).
Feeding the tool in the wrong direction causes
the cutting edge of the bit to climb out of the
work and pull the tool in the direction of this
feed.
e) When using rotary files, cut-off wheels,
high-speed cutters or tungsten carbide
cutters, always have the work securely
clamped.
These wheels will grab if they become slightly
canted in the groove, and can kickback. When
a cut-off wheel grabs, the wheel itself usually
breaks. When a rotary file, high-speed cutter
or tungsten carbide cutter grabs, it may jump
from the groove and you could lose control of
the tool.
