MACHINE SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS

Safety warnings for wall chasers
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifi cations provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury.
a) Always use guard provided with the tool. The guard
must be securely attached to the power tool and
positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount
of wheel is exposed towards the operator. Position
yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the
rotating wheel. The guard helps to protect operator
from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with
wheel.
b) Use only diamond cut-off wheels for your power
tool. Just because an accessory can be attached to your
power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
c) The rated speed of the accessory must be at least
equal to the maximum speed marked on the power
tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed
can break and fl y apart.
d) Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with the side
of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cutoff wheels are intended for
peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels
may cause them to shatter.
e) Always use undamaged wheel fl anges that are of
correct diameter for your selected wheel. Proper wheel
fl anges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of
wheel breakage.
f) The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of your
power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately guarded or controlled.
g) The arbour size of wheels and fl anges must properly
fi t the spindle of the power tool. Wheels and fl anges with
arbour holes that do not match the mounting hardware of
the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively
and may cause loss of control.
h) Do not use damaged wheels. Before each use,
inspect the wheels for chips and cracks. If power tool
or wheel is dropped, inspect for damage or install an
undamaged wheel. After inspecting and installing the
wheel, position yourself and bystanders away from
the plane of the rotating wheel and run the power tool
at maximum no load speed for one minute. Damaged
wheels will normally break apart during this test time.
i) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of
stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments.
The eye protection must be capable of stopping fl ying
debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or
respirator must be capable of fi ltrating particles generated
by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
j) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from the
work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear
personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece
or of a broken accessory may fl y away and cause injury
beyond immediate area of operation.

k) Hold the power tool only by the insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator.
l) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory.
If you lose control of the power tool, the cord may be cut
or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the
spinning accessory.
m) 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.
n) 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.
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 fl ammable
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, backing pad, 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'
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'
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 fi rm 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.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
The accessory may kickback over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where the
power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will
propel the tool in the direction opposite to the wheel's
movement at the point of snagging.
d) 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.
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or
toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback
and loss of control over the power tool.
