Use special care when working corners, sharp edges, etc. Avoid bouncing
and snagging the tool.
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel,
backing pad, brush or any other tool. Pinching or snagging causes rapid
stalling of the rotating tool which in turn causes the uncontrolled machine
to be forced in the direction opposite of the tool's rotation at the point of
the binding.
Do not attach a thin toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control.
Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating
tool.
Always feed the tool 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). Feeding the machine in the wrong direction causes the
cutting edge of the tool to climb out of the work and pull the machine in
the direction of this feed. Safety Notes 9
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even during ordinary
operation. Do not overstress the wires by applying excessive load to the
brush. The wire bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
Should the machine become damaged do not use it any further and have
