accidents.
2.
Do
not
operate
power
tools
in
explosive
atmo
spheres,
such
as
in
the
presence
of
flammable
liquids,
gases
or
dust.

of
electric
shock.
2.
Avoid
body
contact
with
earthed
or
grounded
surfaces
such
as
pipes,
radiators,
ranges
and
refrigerators.
There
is
an
increased
risk
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
taking
proper
precautions
as

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
kick
back
forces,
if
proper
precautions
are
taken.
2.
Never
place
your
hand
near
the
rotating
acces
sory.
Accessory
may
kickback
over
your
hand.
3.
Do
not
position
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.

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
