TOOL USE AND CARE

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
tool for the application. The correct tool will do
the job better and more safely at the rate that it
was designed to work at.
Do not use tools if switch does not turn it on or
off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source be-
fore making any adjustments, changing acces-
sories or storing the tool. This preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of accidental starting
of the tool.
When the power tool is not in use, store it out
of the reach of children, and do not allow in-
dividuals who are not familiar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate it. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands on untrained
users.
Maintain the power tool. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, broken parts,
and any other condition that may affect the
operation of the power tool. If it is damaged,
have it repaired before using. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Check for misalignment or bonding of moving
parts, breakage parts, and any other condition
that may affect the tools operation. If you find
a damaged tool, take it to service before use it.
Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer of your model. Suitable ac-
cessories for one tool, may become hazardous
when are used on another tool.
Keep cutting tools, sharpened and clean. Cut-
ting tools in good condition with sharpened
edges, are less likely to stuck in workpieces or
easier to control.
Is recommendable to use a safety device suit-
able, such a thermal and differential switch
when you are using an electric equipment.
SERVICE: tool service must be performed only
by qualified repair personnel. Service or main-
tenance performed by unqualified personnel
could result in a risk of injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
ANGLE GRINDERS
• Hold the machine by the isolated rubber parts
when you are operating where the cutting
machine may be in contact with a hide wiring
10
installation or its own cable.
Contact with a 'live' wire can expose metal parts
of the machine 'alive' and give you an electric
shock.
• Always use an adequate blade guard protec-
tion. This guard provides protection to the user
of the pieces that can be detached of the abra-
sive blade.
• The abrasive discs should be used at the speed
indicated on the warning machine label. Other-
wise the discs or accessories that run on a differ-
ent speed range can fly and cause injuries.
• Remove all adjusting keys or wrenches before
turning the power tool 'on'. A wrench or a key
that is left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
• Never leave the machine locked on the on
position. Before to connect to the power supply,
be sure that the switch is in the off position.
• When start the machine leaves it run a few
minutes without load before to use it on a work
piece. Watch the vibration or undulation it may
indicate you a poor installation.
• When operating the grinder, avoid the abra-
sive disc to bend or break. If this happens, stop
the machine and renew the disc.
• Don't use damaged discs.
• Don't use worn discs. Worn discs can cause a
disc explosion and cause serious personal injury.
A depressed center abrasive disc must not be
used if worn below 3 inches of diameter.
• Use clamps or other practical means to support
and secure the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the workpiece in your hand or against
your body is unstable, and may lead to loss of
control.
• Keep your hands away of the motion parts.
• Always use goggles and dust mask when you
are grinding, specially when grind over your
head.
• Be careful with the sparks detached of the disc
when work. Hold the grinder such way that the
sparks fly away of you, other persons or flam-
mable materials.
• Don't touch the work piece immediately af-
ter of the operation, could be very hot and can
cause hurts.
THE KICKBACK
The kickback is a sudden reaction. The punc-
tured or hooked produces a quick decrease
speed rate causing loose control of the tool
which is directed towards the side which is the
operator.
