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. Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding: a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and only for recommended applications. b) 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. Additional safety warnings: 21. The tool is intended for use with bonded abrasive wheel points (grinding stones) permanently mounted on plain, unthreaded mandrel (shanks). 22. Make sure the wheel is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on. 23. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly balanced wheel. 24. Use the specified surface of the wheel to perform the grinding. 25. Watch out for flying sparks. Hold the tool so that sparks fly away from you and other persons or flammable materials. 26. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held. 27. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after operation; it may be extremely hot and could burn your skin. 28. Observe the instructions of the manufacturer for correct mounting and use of wheels. Handle and store wheels with care. 29. Check that the workpiece is properly supported. 30. If working place is extremely hot and humid, or badly polluted by conductive dust, use a short-circuit breaker (30 mA) to assure operator safety. 31. Do not use the tool on any materials containing asbestos. 32. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be sure no one is below when using the tool in high locations. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
