Safety Warnings Specific for Abrasive Cutting-off Operations
1. 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.
2. Do not position your body in line with and
behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel,
at the point of operation, is moving away from
your body, the possible kickback may propel the
spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
3. 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.
4. Do not restart the cutting operation in
the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full
speed and carefully reenter the cut.
The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the
power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
5. 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.
6. 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.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations
Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations
when selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad
presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Polishing Operations
Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing bonnet or its attachment strings
to spin freely. Tuck away or trim any loose attachment strings. Loose and spinning
attachment strings can entangle your fingers or snag on the workpiece.
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing Operations
1. 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.
2. If the use of a guard is recommended for
wire brushing, do not allow any interference
of the wire wheel or brush with the guard.
Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter
due to work load and centrifugal forces.
