Kickback And Related Warnings - Batavia MAXX SERIES Bedienungsanleitung

sory may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. Cutting accessory contact-
ing 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 reac-
tion torque of the motor, as it acceler-
ates 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. After changing the bits or making any
adjustments, make sure the collet nut,
chuck or any other adjustment devices
are securely tightened. Loose adjust-
ment devices can unexpectedly shift,
causing loss of control, loose rotating
components will be violently thrown.
p. Do not run the power tool while carry-
ing it at your side. Accidental contact
with the spinning accessory could snag
your clothing, pulling the accessory into
your body.
q. 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.

r. Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could
ignite these materials.
s. Do not use accessories that require
liquid coolants. Using water or other
liquid coolants may result in electrocu-
tion or shock.

4. Kickback and related warnings

Kickback is the sudden reaction of a
wedged or locked spinning attachment
such as a grinding or sanding disc or a wire
brush etc. This causes the spinning attach-
ment to come to a sudden stop, which will
force the electric tool against the rotating
direction of the attachment.
If, for instance, a cutting disc becomes
locked or jammed in the work piece, the
edge of the disc may fracture inside the
work piece and cause a violent kickback.
The disc will then move away from or
towards the operator, depending on the
direction of rotation on the locking point.
This may also shatter the disc.
Kickback is caused by wrong or inappropri-
ate use of the tool and can be avoided by
following the safety advice below.
a. Hold the electric tool tightly with both
hands and assume a position, in which
you can compensate a kickback. If
present, use the accessory handle to
be able to control kickback and coun-
termovement of the running motor.
With the necessary precautions the
operator can control all forces of kick-
back and countermovement.
b. Keep your hand away from the spin-
ning attachment. A kickback can throw
the attachment onto your hand.
c. Keep your body out of the area into
which the tool is thrown by a kickback.
The tool is thrown into the direction
reverse to the direction of the disc at the
locking point.
d. Use extreme care when working
around edges or sharp corners. Make
sure the attachment cannot become
locked into or bounce back from the
work piece. Rotating discs tend to lock
into or bounce back from edges and
