Further Safety Instructions For All Operations - Panasonic EY4640 Instructions D'utilisation

11) 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 acces-
sory.
12) Never lay the power tool down
until the accessory has come to a
complete stop. The spinning ac-
cessory may grab the surface and
pull the power tool out of your con-
trol.
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 pow-
dered 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 re-
quire 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,
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 material causing the
wheel to climb out or kick out. The
wheel may either jump toward or away
from the operator, depending on direc-
tion 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.
1) 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.
2) Never place your hand near the
rotating accessory. Accessory may
kickback over your hand.
3) Do not position your body in the
area where power tool will move
if kickback occurs. Kickback will
propel the tool in direction opposite
to the wheel's movement at the
point of snagging.
