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.

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. 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 incorrect

operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by

taking proper precautions as givenbelow.

a ) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the

power tool and position your body and arms

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.

m ) 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.

n ) 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.

o ) 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.

p ) Do not operate the power tool near flammable

materials. Sparks could ignite thesematerials.

q ) Do not use accessories that require liquid

coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may

result in electrocution orshock.

r ) When starting the tool with a new or replacement

wheel, or a new or replacement wire brush

installed, hold the tool in a well protected area

and let it run for one minute. If the wheel has

an undetected crack or flaw, it should burst in

less than one minute. If the wire brush has loose

wires, they will be detected. Never start the tool

with a person in line with the wheel. This includes

theoperator.

s ) Use of accessories not specified in this manual

is not recommended and may be hazardous.

Use of power boosters that would cause the tool

to be driven at speeds greater than its rated speed

constitutesmisuse.

Just because the accessory can be attached to your

power tool, it does not assure safeoperation.

e ) 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 flyapart.

f ) 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.

g ) Threaded mounting of accessories must match

the grinder spindle thread. For accessories

mounted by flanges, the arbor hole of the

accessory must fit the locating diameter of the

flange. Accessories that do not match the mounting

hardware of the power tool will run out of balance,

vibrate excessively and may cause loss ofcontrol.

h ) The dimensions of the accessory mounting must

fit the dimensions of the mounting hardware of

the power tool. Accessories that do not match the

mounting hardware of the power tool will run out

of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss

ofcontrol.

i ) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use

inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for

chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or

excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires.

If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect

for damage or install an undamaged accessory.

After inspecting and installing an accessory,

position yourself and bystanders away from the

plane of the rotating accessory and run the power

tool at maximum no‑load speed for one minute.

Damaged accessories will normally break apart during

this testtime.

j ) 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 flying debris generated by

various applications. The dust mask or respirator must

be capable of filtrating particles generated by the

particular application. Prolonged exposure to high

intensity noise may cause hearingloss.

k ) 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operation.

l ) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces only, when performing an operation

where the cutting accessory may contact hidden

wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may

make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and

could give the operator an electricshock.
