General Power Tool Safety Warnings

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow

the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Clut-

tered or dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power

tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away

while operating a power tool. Distrac-

tions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.

Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified

plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or

grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is

an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool

will increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the

cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors,

use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for out-

door use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp loca-

tion is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use

of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and

use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A

moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Al-

ways wear eye protection. Protective

equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure

the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your fin-

ger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench be-

fore turning the power tool on. A wrench

or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times. This enables

better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-

ing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

WARNING

g) If devices are provided for the connec-

tion 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 cor-

rect 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 mis-

alignment 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. Prop-

erly 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 qual-

ified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that

the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Machine-specific Safety Warnings

Safety Warnings common for Grinding, Sanding, Wire Brushing or Abrasive Cutting Off Operations

f 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 instruc-

tions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

f This power tool is not recommended for

polishing. Operations for which the power

tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.

f Do not use accessories which are not spe-

cifically designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because the acces-

sory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.

f The rated speed of the accessory must be at

least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running fast-

er than their rated speed can break and fly apart.

f 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 The arbor size of wheels, flanges, backing

pads or any other accessory must properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Accesso-

ries 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 wheels for chips and cracks, backing pads for cracks, tears or excess wear, wire brushes 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 ac-

cessories will normally break apart during this test time.

f Wear personal protective equipment. De-

pending 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.

f Keep bystanders a safe distance away from

the 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.

f Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-

faces only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting ac-

cessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock the operator.

f Position the cord clear of the spinning ac-

cessory. If you lose control of the power tool,

the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.

f Never lay the power tool down until the ac-

cessory has come to a complete stop. The

spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.

f 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.

f 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.

f Do not operate the power tool near flamma-

ble materials. Sparks could ignite these ma-

terials.

f Do not use accessories that require liquid

coolants. Using water or other liquid cool-

ants may result in electrocution or shock.

Kickback and related warnings

f 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. For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions. Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
