8. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth work
gloves which may be entangled. The entangle-
ment of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may
resultinpersonalinjury.
Service
1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
2. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
Cut-o󰀨 machine safety warnings
1. Position yourself and bystanders away from
the plane of the rotating wheel. The guard helps
toprotecttheoperatorfrombrokenwheelfrag-
ments and accidental contact with wheel.
2. Use only bonded reinforced cut-o󰀨 wheels for
your power tool.Justbecauseanaccessorycan
beattachedtoyourpowertool,itdoesnotassure
safe operation.
3. The rated speed of the accessory must be at
least equal to the maximum speed marked on
the power tool. Accessories running faster than
theirratedspeedcanbreakandyapart.
4. Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with
the side of a cut-o󰀨 wheel.Abrasivecut-o󰀨
wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side
forces applied to these wheels may cause them to
shatter.
5. Always use undamaged wheel anges that are
of correct diameter for your selected wheel.
Properwheelangessupportthewheelthus
reducingthepossibilityofwheelbreakage.
6. The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating
of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories
cannotbeadequatelyguardedorcontrolled.
7. The arbour size of wheels and anges must
properly t the spindle of the power tool.
Wheelsandangeswitharbourholesthatdonot
match the mounting hardware of the power tool
willrunoutofbalance,vibrateexcessivelyand
may cause loss of control.
8. Do not use damaged wheels. Before each use,
inspect the wheels for chips and cracks. If the
power tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for
damage or install an undamaged wheel. After
inspecting and installing the wheel, position
yourself and bystanders away from the plane
of the rotating wheel and run the power tool
at maximum no load speed for one minute.
Damagedwheelswillnormallybreakapartduring
this test time.
9. Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As appro-
priate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors,
gloves and shop 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 hear-
ing loss.
10. 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wheelmay
yawayandcauseinjurybeyondimmediatearea
of operation.
11. Position the cord clear of the spinning acces-
sory.Ifyoulosecontrol,thecordmaybecutor
snaggedandyourhandorarmmaybepulledinto
the spinning wheel.
12. Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The
motor’s fan can draw the dust inside the housing
and excessive accumulation of powdered metal
may cause electrical hazards.
13. Do not operate the power tool near ammable
materials. Do not operate the power tool while
placed on a combustible surface such as
wood. Sparks could ignite these materials.
14. 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. Pinching or snagging causes rapid
stalling of the rotating wheel which in turn causes the
uncontrolledcuttingunittobeforcedupwardstoward
the operator.
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.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.
1. Maintain a rm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kickback forces. The operator can control
upwardkickbackforces,ifproperprecautionsare
taken.
2. Do not position your body in line with the
rotating wheel.Ifkickbackoccurs,itwillpropel
the cutting unit upwards toward the operator.
3. Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving blade,
segmented diamond wheel with a peripheral
gap greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade.
Suchbladescreatefrequentkickbackandlossof
control.
