Never place your hand near the
2)
rotating accessory. Accessory may
kickback over your hand.
Do not position your body in
3)
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
4)
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.
Do not attach a saw chain
5)
woodcarving blade or toothed
saw blade. Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of control.
Specific safety instructions for grinding
and abrasive cutting
Use only wheel types that
1)
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.
The grinding surface of centre
2)
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.
The guard must be securely
3)
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, accidental contact with wheel
and sparks that could ignite clothing.
Wheels must be used only for
4)
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
5)
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
6)
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
1)
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
2)
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.
