allow you to resist kickback forces.
The operator can control 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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR GRINDING AND CUTTINGOFF OPERATIONS
Safety warnings specific for grinding and abrasive cutting-off operations:
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the
specific guard designed for the selected wheel.
Wheels for which the power
tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
b) The grinding surface of centre depressed wheels must be mounted below
the plane of the guard lip.
An improperly mounted wheel that projects through
the plane of the guard lip cannot be adequately protected.
c) The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned
for maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed towards
the operator.
The guard helps to protect the operator from broken wheel
fragments, accidental contact with wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing.
d) 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.
e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct size and shape for
your selected wheel.
Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing
the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different
from grinding wheel flanges.
f) 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 SPECIFIC FOR ABRASIVE CUTTINGOFF OPERATIONS
a) Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt
to make an excessive depth of cut.
Overstressing the wheel increases the
loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the
possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
