maximum control over kickback or
torque reaction during start-up. The
operator can control torque reactions or
kickback forces, if proper precautions are
taken.
Never place your hand near the 2.
rotating accessory. Accessory may
kickback over your hand.
Do not position your body in the area 3.
where air tool will move if kickback
occurs. Kickback will propel the tool
in direction opposite to the wheel’s
movement at the point of snagging.
Use special care when working 4.
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.
Do not attach a saw chain 5.
woodcarving blade or toothed saw
blade. Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control.
Safety Warnings Specic for
Grinding and Abrasive Cutting-off
Operations
Use only wheel types that are 1.
recommended for your air tool and
the specic guard designed for the
selected wheel. Wheels for which the
air tool was not designed cannot be
adequately guarded and are unsafe.
The guard must be securely attached 2.
to the air tool and positioned for
maximum safety, so the least amount
of wheel is exposed towards the
operator. The guard helps to protect
operator from broken wheel fragments
and accidental contact with wheel.
Wheels must be used only for 3.
recommended applications. For
example: do not grind with the side of
cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels
are intended for peripheral grinding,
side forces applied to these wheels may
cause them to shatter.
Always use undamaged wheel anges 4.
that are of correct size and shape for
your selected wheel. Proper wheel
anges support the wheel thus reducing
the possibility of wheel breakage.
Flanges for cut-off wheels may be
different from grinding wheel anges.
Do not use worn down wheels from 5.
larger air tools. Wheel intended for
larger air tool is not suitable for the
higher speed of a smaller tool and may
burst.
Dress appropriately.6. Wear leather
leggings and re resistant footwear
during use. Do not wear pants with cuffs,
shirts with open pockets, or any clothing
that can catch and hold molten metal or
sparks.
Safety Warnings Specic for
Abrasive Cutting-off Operations
Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel 1.
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.
Do not position your body in line with 2.
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 air tool directly at
you.
