Manual

9. 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 fly away

and cause injury beyond immediate area of opera-

tion.

10. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces

only, when performing an operation where the

cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or

its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live”

wire may make exposed metal parts of the power

tool “live” and shock the operator.

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 accessory.

12. Never lay the power tool down until the acces-

sory has come to a complete stop. The spinning

accessory may grab the surface and pull the power

tool out of your control.

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. Do not operate the power tool near flammable

materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.

16. Do not use accessories that require liquid cool-

ants. 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, backing pad, brush or any other acces-

sory. 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.

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 mate-

rial causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel

may either jump toward or away from the operator,

depending on direction of the wheel’s movement at the

point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under

these conditions.

Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incor-

rect operating procedures or conditions and can be

avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.

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. Kick-

back 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 snag-

ging 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 fre-

quent kickback and loss of control.

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 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 operator from broken wheel frag-

ments and accidental contact with wheel.

c) 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.

d) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that

e 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 dif-

ferent from grinding wheel flanges.

e) 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

Cutting-Off 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.

b) Do not position your body in line with and

behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at

the point of operation, is moving away from your

body, the possible kickback may propel the spin-

ning wheel and the power tool directly at you.

c) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a

cut for any reason, switch off the power tool

and hold the power tool motionless until the

wheel 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 cor-

rective action to eliminate the cause of wheel

binding.

d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the

workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed

and carefully reenter the cut. The wheel may

bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is

restarted in the workpiece.

Can I store power tools in a shed or garage? Verified

In general, you can store power tools in a shed or garage, even if it sometimes freezes there. However, it is better for the lifespan of the power tool to store it in a dry place without major temperature fluctuations. In a shed or garage, differences in temperature can cause condensation to form, which can cause rust. In addition, tools that run on batteries last shorter and do not charge as well at very low temperatures. To be sure how your power tool needs to be stored, always thoroughly read the user manual.
