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 ying debris generated by
various operations . The dust mask or respirator must be capable of ltrating
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 y 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 tool may contact
hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal
parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
k) 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.
l) 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.
m) 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.
n) Do not operate the power tool near ammable materials. Sparks
could ignite these materials.
o) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or
other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
Further safety instructions for all 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.
