SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR ALL OPERATIONS:
Safety Warnings Common for Grinding or
Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:
a) This power tool is intended to function as
a grinder 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) Operations such as sanding, wire
brushing, polishing are not recommended
to be performed with this power tool.
Operations for which the power tool was not
designed may create a hazard and cause personal
injury.
c) Do not use accessories which are not
6
specifically designed and recommended
by the tool manufacturer. Just because the
EN
accessory can be attached to your power tool, it
does not assure safe operation.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) Threaded mounting of accessories must
match the grinder spindle thread. For
accessories mounted by flanges, the
arbour hole of the accessory must fit the
locating diameter of the flange. Accessories
that do not match the mounting hardware of
the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate
excessively and may cause loss of control.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before
each use inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheels 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.
h) Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety glasses.
As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or
workpiece fragments. The eye protection must
be capable of stopping flying debris generated by
various operations . The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of filtrating particles generated
by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away
from work area. Anyone entering the
work area must wear personal protective
equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a
broken accessory may fly away and cause injury
beyond immediate area of operation.
j) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
k) Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory. If you lose control, the cord may
be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be
pulled into the spinning accessory.
l) Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop.
The spinning accessory may grab the surface and
pull the power tool out of your control.
m) Do not run the power tool while carrying
it at your side. Accidental contact with the
spinning accessory could snag your clothing,
pulling the accessory into your body.
n) Regularly clean the power tool's air vents.
The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the
housing and excessive accumulation of powdered
metal may cause electrical hazards.
o) Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
p) Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants
may result in electrocution or shock.
q) Your hand must hold on the handle when you
are working. Always use the auxiliary handles
supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause
personal injury

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL
OPERATIONS
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any
other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid
stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn causes
the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the
direction opposite of the accessory's rotation at the
point of the binding.
