of

elec

tric

shock

if

your

body

is

earthed

or

grounded.

3.

Do

not

expose

Kickback

and

Related

Warnings

Kickback

is

a

sudden

reaction

to

a

pinched

or

snagged

rotating

wheel,

backing

pad,

brush

or

any

other

acces

sory.

Pinching

or

snagging

causes

rapid

stalling

of

the

rotating

accessory

which

in

turn

causes

the

uncon

trolled

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.

4

ENGLISH

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

conditions

and

can

be

avoided

by

your

body

in

the

area

where

power

tool

will

move

if

kickback

occurs.

Kickback

will

propel

the

tool

in

direction

opposite

to

the

wheel's

movement

at

the

point

of

snagging.

4.

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.

5.

Do

not

attach

a

saw

chain

woodcarving

blade

or

toothed

saw

blade.

Such

blades

create

fre

quent

kickback

and

loss

of

control.

Safety

Warnings

Specific

for

Grinding

and

Abrasive

Cutting-Off

Operations:

1.

Use

only

wheel

types

that

are

recommended

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.

2.

The

grinding

surface

of

centre

depressed

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.

3.

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

operator.

The

guard

helps

to

protect

the

operator

from

broken

wheel

fragments,

acci

dental

contact

with

wheel

and

sparks

that

could

ignite

clothing.

4.

Wheels

must

be

used

only

for

recommended

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.

5.

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

possibility

of

wheel

breakage.

Flanges

for

cut-off

wheels

may

be

different

from

grinding

wheel

flanges.

6.

Do

not

use

worn

down

wheels

from

larger

power

tools.

Wheel

intended

for

larger

power

tool

is

not

suitable

for

the

higher

speed

of

a

smaller

tool

and

may

burst.

Additional

Safety

Warnings

Specific

for

Abrasive

Cutting-Off

Operations:

1.

Do

not

"jam"

the

cut-off

wheel

or

apply

exces

sive

pressure.

Do

not

attempt

to

make

an

excessive

depth

of

cut.

Overstressing

the

wheel

increases

the

loading

and

susceptibility

to

twisting

or

binding

of

the

wheel

in

the

cut

and

the

possibil

ity

of

kickback

or

wheel

breakage.

2.

Do

not

position

your

body

in

iine

with

and

behind

the

rotating

wheel.

When

the

wheel,

at

the

point

of

operation,

is

moving

away

from

your

body,

the

possible

kickback

may

propel

the

spin

ning

wheel

and

the

power

tool

directly

at

you.

3.

When

wheel

is

binding

or

when

interrupting

a

cut

for

any

reason,

switch

off

the

power

tool

and

hold

the

power

tool

motionless

until

the

wheel

comes

to

a

complete

stop.

Never

attempt

to

remove

the

cut-off

wheel

from

the

cut

while

the

wheel

is

in

motion

otherwise

kickback

may

occur.

Investigate

and

take

correc

tive

action

to

eliminate

the

cause

of

wheel

binding.

4.

Do

not

restart

the

cutting

operation

in

the

workpiece.

Let

the

wheel

reach

full

speed

and

carefully

re-enter

the

cut.

The

wheel

may

bind,

walk

up

or

kickback

if

the

power

tool

is

restarted

in

the

workpiece.

5.

Support

panels

or

any

oversized

workpiece

to

minimize

the

risk

of

wheei

pinching

and

kick

back.

Large

workpieces

tend

to

sag

under

their

own

weight.

Supports

must

be

placed

under

the

workpiece

near

the

line

of

cut

and

near

the

edge

of

the

workpiece

on

both

sides

of

the

wheel.

6.

Use

extra

caution

when

making

a

"pocket

cut"

into

existing

walls

or

other

blind

areas.

The

protruding

wheel

may

cut

gas

or

water

pipes,

elec

trical

wiring

or

objects

that

can

cause

kickback.

Safety

Warnings
