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.
Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory
may kickback over your hand.
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.
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.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR GRINDING AND
ABRASIVE CUTTING OFF OPERATIONS:
Always use guard designed for the type of wheel you are
using. 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 operator from broken wheel fragments and accidental
contact with wheel.
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.
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.
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.
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:
Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive 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 possibility of
kickback or wheel breakage.
Do not position your body in line 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
spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
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 corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece,. Let
