or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator.
Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control of
the power tool, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may
be pulled into the spinning accessory.
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.
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental
ontact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.
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.
Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could
ignite these materials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or
other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
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.
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.
