Safety Information
Important - Please read these instructions fully before starting assembly
in one hand and the tool in the other hand while in use. Clamping a small workpiece
allows you to use your hand(s) to control the tool. Round material such as dowel rods,
pipes or tubing have a tendency to roll while being cut, and may cause the bit to bind or
jump toward you.
m) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be
cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
n) 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.
o) After changing the bits or making any adjustments, make sure the collet nut, chuck
or any other adjustment devices are securely tightened. Loose adjustment devices
can unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control, loose rotating components will be
violently thrown.
p) 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.
q) 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.
r) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
s) 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, sanding band, 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.
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 on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kickback forces. The operator can control kickback forces, if proper precautions
are taken.
b) 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.
c) Do not attach a toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of
control.
d) Always feed the bit into the material in the same direction as the cutting edge is
exiting from the material (which is the same direction as the chips are thrown).
