f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and
off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or the battery
pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of
the reach of children and do not
allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check
for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may
affect the power tool's operation.
If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits, etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions
and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL
OPERATIONS
Safety Warnings Common for Grinding,
Sanding, Wire Brushing, or Abrasive,
Cutting-Off Operations
a) This power tool is intended to
function as a grinder, sander,
wire brush, 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, fire and/or
serious injury.
b) Do not use accessories which
are not specifically designed and
recommended by the tool manufacturer,
such as polishing. Just because the
accessory can be attached to your power
tool, it does not assure safe operation.
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 can break and fly apart.
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
guarded or controlled.
e) The arbor size of wheels, flanges,
backing pads or any other accessory
must properly fit the spindle of the
power tool. Accessories with arbor
holes that do not match the mounting
hardware of the power tool will run out
of balance, vibrate excessively and may
cause loss of control.
f) Do not use a damaged accessory.
Before each use inspect the
accessory such as abrasive wheel
for chips and cracks, backing pad
for cracks, tear or excess wear,
wire brush for loose or cracked
wires. If 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.
g) Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust
mask, hearing protectors, gloves
and work shop apron capable of
stopping small abrasive or workpiece
fragments. The eye protection must
be capable of stopping flying debris
