specifications provided with this power
tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury.
b) Operations such as sanding, wire brush-
ing or polishing are not recommended to
be performed with this power tool. Op-
erations for which the power tool was not
designed may create a hazard and cause
personal injury.
c) Do not use accessories which are not
specifically designed and recommended
by the tool manufacturer. Just because
the accessory can be attached to your pow-
er tool, it does not assure safe operation.
d) The rated speed of the accessory must
be at least equal to the maximum speed
marked on the power tool. Accessories
running faster than their rated speed can
break and fly apart.
e) The outside diameter and the thick-
ness of your accessory must be within
the capacity rating of your power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be ad-
equately guarded or controlled.
f) The arbour size of wheels, flanges, back-
ing pads or any other accessory must
properly fit the spindle of the power
tool. Accessories with arbour holes 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.
If power tool or accessory is dropped,
inspect for damage or install an undam-
aged accessory. After inspecting and in-
stalling 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
134 EN
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 fil-
trating particles generated by your opera-
tion. 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 protec-
tive equipment. Fragments of workpiece
or of a broken accessory may fly away and
cause injury beyond immediate area of op-
eration.
j) Hold the power tool by insulated grip-
ping 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 opera-
tor 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 sur-
face and pull the power tool out of your con-
trol.
m) Do not run the power tool while carrying
it at your side. Accidental contact with the
spinning accessory could snag your cloth-
ing, 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 accumula-
tion of powdered metal may cause electrical
hazards.
o) Do not operate the power tool near flam-
mable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
p) Do not use accessories that require
liquid coolants. Using water or other liq-
uid coolants may result in electrocution or
shock.
KICKBACK AND RELATED WARNINGS
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel or any other accesso-
ry. 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 move-
ment 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 con-
ditions 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 al-
low you to resist kickback forces. Al-
ways 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.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory. Accessory may kickback over
your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area
where power tool will move if kickback
occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in di-
rection opposite to the wheel's movement at
the point of snagging.
d) 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.
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving
blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades
create frequent kickback and loss of con-
trol.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR GRIND-
ING OPERATIONS:
a) Use only wheel types that are recom-
mended for your power tool and the
specific guard designed for the selected
wheel. Wheels for which the power tool
was not designed cannot be adequately
guarded and are unsafe.
b) The grinding surface of centre de-
pressed wheels must be mounted below
the plane of the guard lip. An improperly
mounted wheel that projects through the
plane of the guard lip cannot be adequately
protected.
c) The guard must be securely attached
to the power tool and positioned for
maximum safety, so the least amount
of wheel is exposed towards the opera-
tor. The guard helps to protect the operator
from broken wheel fragments, accidental
contact with wheel and sparks that could
ignite clothing.
d) Wheels must be used only for recom-
mended applications. For example: do
not grind with the side of cut-off wheel.
Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for
peripheral grinding, side forces applied to
these wheels may cause them to shatter.
e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges
that are of correct size and shape for
your selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges
support the wheel thus reducing the pos-
sibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-
off wheels may be different from grinding
wheel flanges.
f) Do not use worn down wheels from larg-
er power tools. Wheel intended for larger
power tool is not suitable for the higher
speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
