accessories cannot be adequately guarded or
controlled.
f) Threaded mounting of accessories must
match the grinder spindle thread. For
accessories mounted by flanges, the arbour
hole of the accessory must fit the locating
diameter of the flange. Accessories that do
not match the mounting hardware of the power
tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively
and may cause loss of control.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before
each use inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheels for chips and cracks,
backing pad for cracks, tear or excess
wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires.
If power tool or accessory is dropped,
inspect for damage or install an undamaged
accessory. After inspecting and installing
an accessory, position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of the
rotating accessory and run the power tool
at maximum no-load speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories will 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 eye protection
must be capable of stopping flying debris
generated by various operations. 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 bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken
accessory may fly away and cause injury
beyond immediate area of operation.
j) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
k) 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.
l) 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.
m) 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.
n) 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.
o) Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
p) 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, backing 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
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. Always use
auxiliary 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.
