•When the wheel is pinched or bound tightly by the workpiece, the wheel stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward or away from the operator.
•Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
•Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the unit and posi- tion your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
•When wheel is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold the unit motionless in the material until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the unit from the work or pull the unit backward while the wheel is in motion or kick- back may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
•When restarting a
•Support large panels to minimize the risk of wheel pinch- ing and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Support must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chem- icals known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
•lead from
•crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
•arsenic and chromium from
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chem- icals: work in a well ventilated area, a nd work with approved safe- ty equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
•Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appro- priate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.
CAUTION: Use extra care when working into a corner because a sudden, sharp movement of the grinder may be experienced when the wheel or other accessory contacts a secondary surface or a surface edge.
CAUTION: Wear appropriate personal hearing protection during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
