comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the
cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur.
Investigate and
take corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel pinching or snagging.
f) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full
speed and carefully re-enter the cut.
The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the
power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
g) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel
pinching and kickback.
Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight.
Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of
the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
h) Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into existing walls or other blind
areas.
The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that
can cause kickback.
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) Allow brushes to run at operating speed for at least one minute before using
them. During this time no one is to stand in front or in line with the brush.
Loose
bristles or wires will be discharged during the run-in time.
c) Direct the discharge of the spinning wire brush away from you.
Small particles
and tiny wire fragments may be discharged at high velocity during the use of these
brushes and may become imbedded in your skin.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR BATTERY PACK
a) Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or battery pack.
b) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not store battery packs
haphazardly in a box or drawer where they may short-circuit each other
or be short-circuited by conductive materials. When battery pack is not
in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or
a fire.
c) Do not expose battery pack to heat or fire. Avoid storage in direct
sunlight.
d) Do not subject battery pack to mechanical shock.
e) In the event of battery leaking, do not allow the liquid to come into
contact with the skin or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the
affected area with copious amounts of water and seek medical advice.
f) Seek medical advice immediately if a cell or battery pack has been
swallowed.
