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 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 shock the operator.
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.

operations
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.
b) Never place your hand near the
rotating accessory. Accessory may
kickback over your hand.
