SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ROTATION TOOLS

1) SAFETY WARNINGS COMMON FOR GRINDING,

SANDING, WIRE BRUSHING, POLISHING, CARVING OR ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS

a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder,

sander, wire brush, polisher, carving or cut-off tool.

Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations

and specifications provided with this power tool.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in

electric shock, re and/or serious injury.

b) Do not use accessories which are not specifically

designed and recommended by the tool

manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be

attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe

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

d) 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 controlled.

e) The arbour size of wheels, sanding drum or any

other accessory must properly fit the spindle or

collet of the power tool. Accessories that do not match

the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of

balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of

f) Mandrel mounted wheels, sanding drums, cutters or

other accessories must be fully inserted into the

collet or chuck. If the mandrel is insuciently held and/

or the overhang of the wheel is too long, the mounted

wheel may become loose and be ejected at high velocity.

g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use

inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for

chips and cracks, sanding drum for cracks, tear or

excess wear, wire brushes for loose or cracked

wires. If the power tool or accessory is dropped,

inspect for damage or install an undamaged

accessory. After inspecting and installing an

accessory, position yourself and bystanders away

from the plane of the rotating accessory and run the

power tool at maximum no load speed for one

minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart

during this test time.

h) Wear personal protective equipment 4. Depending

on application, use face shield, safety goggles or

safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask,

hearing protectors, gloves and shop apron capable

of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments.

The eye protection must be capable of stopping ying

debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or

respirator must be capable of ltrating particles

generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high

intensity noise may cause hearing loss.

i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work

area. Anyone entering the work area must wear

personal protective equipment. Fragments of the

workpiece or of a broken accessory may y away and

cause injury beyond the immediate area of operation.

j) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,

when performing an operation where the cutting

accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own

cord. A cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may

make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and

could give the operator an electric shock.

k) Always hold the tool firmly in your hands during the

start-up. The reaction torque of the motor, as it

accelerates to full speed, can cause the tool to twist.

l) Use clamps to support workpiece whenever

practical. Never hold a small workpiece in one hand

and the tool in the other hand while in use. Clamping

a small workpiece allows you to use both hands to control

the tool. Round material such as dowel rods, pipes or

tubing have a tendency to roll while being cut, and may

cause the bit to bind or jump toward you.

m) 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

n) 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

o) After changing the bits or making any adjustments,

make sure the collet nut, chuck or any other

adjustment devices are securely tightened. Loose

adjustment devices can unexpectedly shift, causing loss

of control, loose rotating components will be violently

p) 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

q) 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

r) Do not operate the power tool near flammable

materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.

s) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.

Using water or other liquid coolants may result in

electrocution or shock.

2) KICKBACK AND RELATED WARNINGS

• Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged

rotating wheel, sanding band, 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’s rotation at the point of the

• 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 the direction 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.

a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position

your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback

forces.The operator can control kickback forces, if

proper precautions are taken.

b) 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.

c) Do not attach a toothed saw blade. Such blades

create frequent kickback and loss of control.

d) Always feed the bit 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 tool in the wrong direction

causes the cutting edge of the bit to climb out of the work

and pull the tool in the direction of this feed.

e) When using rotary files, cut-off wheels, high-speed

cutters or tungsten carbide cutters, always have the

work securely clamped. These wheels will grab if they

become slightly canted in the groove, and can kickback.

When a cut-o wheel grabs, the wheel itself usually

breaks. When the rotary le, high-speed cutter or

tungsten carbide cutter grab, it may jump from the groove

and you could lose control of the tool.

3) SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR GRINDING AND ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS

a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for

your power tool and only for recommended

applications. For example: Do not grind with the side of

a cut-o wheel. Abrasive cut-o wheels are intended for

peripheral grinding; side forces applied to these wheels

may cause them to shatter.

b) For threaded abrasive cones and plugs use only

undamaged wheel mandrels with an unrelieved

shoulder flange that are of correct size and length.

Proper mandrels will reduce the possibility of breakage.

c) 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

d) Do not position your hand in line with and behind

the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of

operation, is moving away from your hand, the possible

kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power

tool directly at you.

e) When the wheel is pinched, snagged 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.

f) 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.

g) 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

h) 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.

4) SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR WIRE BRUSHING OPERATIONS

a) 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/

b) Allow brushes to run at operating speed for at least

one minute before using them. During this time no

one is to stand in front or in line with the brush.

Loose bristles or wires will be discharged during the

c) Direct the discharge of the spinning wire brush

away from you. Small particles and tiny wire fragments

may be discharged at high velocity during the use of

these brushes and may become imbedded in your skin.
