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.
Kickback and related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating
wheel. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rating
wheel which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be
forced in the direction opposite of the wheel'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 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 kick-
back or torque reaction during start-up. The operator can
control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precau-
tions are taken.
b. Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory
may kickback over your hand.
c. Do not position your body in line with the rotating wheel.
Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel's
movement at the point of snagging.
