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 the 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 the 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 contact a ‘live’ wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool ‘live’ and could give the operator an electric shock.
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 may snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
n)
Regularly clean the power tool’s 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.
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 an 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.
c)
Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will
propel the tool in the direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.
d)
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.
e)
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade.
Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations
a)
Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations,
when selecting sanding paper.
Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad presents a
laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Polishing Operations
a)
Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing bonnet or its attachment strings to spin freely.
Tuck
away or trim any loose attachment strings. Loose and spinning attachment strings can entangle your
fingers or snag on the workpiece.
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing Operations
a)
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even during ordinary operation. Do not
overstress the wires by applying excessive load to the brush.
The wire bristles can easily penetrate
light clothing and/or skin.
b)
If the use of the guard is recommended for wire brushing, do not allow any interference of the
wire wheel or brush with the guard.
Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter due to work load and
centrifugal forces.
