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.
c)
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.
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 Grinding:
a)
Use only wheel types that are recommended
for your power tool.
b)
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.
c)
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:
16.
Make sure the wheel is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
17.
Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation
or a poorly balanced wheel.
18.
Use the specified surface of the wheel to
perform the grinding.
19.
Watch out for flying sparks. Hold the tool so
that sparks fly away from you and other
persons or flammable materials.
20.
Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
21.
Do not touch the workpiece immediately after
operation; it may be extremely hot and could
burn your skin.
22.
Observe the instructions of the manufacturer
for correct mounting and use of wheels.
Handle and store wheels with care.
23.
Check that the workpiece is properly
supported.
24.
If working place is extremely hot and humid,
or badly polluted by conductive dust, use a
short-circuit breaker (30 mA) to assure
operator safety.
25.
Do not use the tool on any materials
containing asbestos.
26.
Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be
sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
