incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below.
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.
Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may
kickback over your hand.
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.
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.
Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving blade, segmented diamond
wheel with a peripheral gap greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade.
Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not
attempt to make an excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel
increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in
the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason,
switch off the power tool and hold the power tool motionless until the
wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off
wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback
may occur. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of
wheel binding.
Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel
reach full speed and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind,
walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of
wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their
own weight. Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the line of
cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut" into existing walls or
other blind areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes,
electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by your hand or against
the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Additional safety warnings:
Wear hearing protection, safety goggles, dust mask and gloves. As
dust mask, use at least a particle filtering half mask of filter class FFP
2.
