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 misalign-
ment 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 acci-
dents 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.
2.5 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.
3. Special Safety Instructions
3.1 Safety warnings common for grinding,
sanding, wire brushing, polishing,
carving or abrasive cutting-off
operations:
a) This power tool is intended to function as a
grinder and sander, wire brush, polisher,
carving 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. Just because the accessory
can be attached to your power tool, it does not
assure safe operation.
c) The rated speed of the grinding accessories
must be at least equal to the maximum speed
marked on the power tool. Grinding 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 controlled.
e) The arbour size of wheels, sanding drums or
any other accessory must properly fit the
spindle or collet of the power tool. 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.
f) Mandrel Mounted Wheels, sanding drums,
cutters or other accessories must be fully
inserted into the collet or chuck. If the mandrel is
insufficiently held and/or the overhang of the wheel
is too long, the Mounted Wheel may become loose
and be ejected at high velocity.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before
each use inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, sanding
drum 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 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) Always hold the tool firmly in your hands
during the start-up. The reaction torque of the
motor, as it accelerates to full speed, can cause the
tool to twist.
l) Use clamps to support workpiece whenever
practical. Never hold a small workpiece in one
hand and the tool in the other hand while in
use. Clamping a small workpiece allows you to use
your hands to control the tool. Round material such
as dowel rods, pipes or tubing have a tendency to
