d_, WARNING! Read and understand all

instructions. Failure to follow all

instructions listed below may result in

electric shock, fire and/or serious, personal

injury.

Electrical Safety

• Grounded tools must be plugged into

an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes

and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in

Auxiliary Side Handle

any way. Do not use any adaptor plugs.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Work Area

o Keep your work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.

Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is

properly grounded. If the tools should

electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path

to carry electricity away from the user.

* 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.

Applicable only to Class I (Grounded) tools.

Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is

wider than the other.) This plug will fit

, Keep bystanders, children, and

visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose

control.

in a polarized outlet only one way. If

the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,

reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install

a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double Insulation []

powersupplysystem.Applicableonlyto ClassIItools.

• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,

ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock ifyour

body is grounded.

. Don't expose power tools to rain or

wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the riskof electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the

cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from

heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.

Damaged cords increase the risk of

electric shock.

When operating a power tool outside,

use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W." These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the riskof electric

shock.

Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing

and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool

while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A

moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious

personal injury,

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.

Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in

moving parts.

° Avoid accidental starting. Be sure

switch is off before plugging in.

Carrying tools with your finger on the

switch or plugging in tools that have the

switch on invites accidents.

° Remove adjusting keys or wrenches

before turning the tool on. A wrench or

a key that is left attached to a rotating part

of the tool may result in personal injury.

° Do not overreach. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the

tool in unexpected situations.

° Use safety equipment. Always wear

eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid

safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate

conditions.

Tool Use and Care

o Use clamps or other practical way to

secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by

hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool

for your application. The correct tool will

do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

° Do not use tool 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 before making any

adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the

tool accidentally.

• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are

easier to control.

Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and

any other condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many

accidents are caused by poorly

maintained tools.

Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for

your model. Accessories that may be

suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.

Service

Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service

or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

When servicing a tool, use only

identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance

section of this manual. Use of

unauthorized parts or failure to follow

Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

* Always use proper guard with

grinding wheel. A guard protects operator from broken wheel fragments.

* Accessories must be rated for at

least the speed recommended on the

tool warning label. Wheels and other

accessories runningover rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.

- Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an

operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own

cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make

exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES , ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.

• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE. , Use only grinding wheels having a

maximum operating speed at least as high as the speed specified in the

warning on the tool's label.

• Before using, inspect recommended

accessory for cracks or flaws. If such a

crack or flaw is evident, discard the accessory. The accessory should also

be inspected whenever you think the tool may have been dropped.

• When starting the tool (with a new or replacement wheel installed) hold the

tool in a well protected area and let it run for one minute. If the wheel has an

undetected crack or flaw, it should burst

in less than one minute. Never start the

tool with a person in line with the wheel. This includes the operator.

• In operation, avoid bouncing the wheel

or giving it rough treatment. If this occurs, stop the tool and inspect the

wheel.

, ALWAYS USE GUARDS when grinding.

• Clean your tool out periodically.

,_CAUTION: Some wood contains

preservatives such as copper chromium arsenate (CCA) which can be toxic. When

sanding these materials extra care should be taken to avoid inhalation and minimize

skin contact. ,_WARNING: Use of this tool can generate dust containing chemicals known

to cause cancer, birth defects or other

reproductive harm. Use appropriate respiratory protection.

EXTENSION CORDS

When using an extension cord, be sure to

use one heavy enough to carry the current

your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting

in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to

use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use

the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

MOTOR

Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking. 120 Volts AC only means your tool will operate on standard

60 Hz household power. Do not operate AC tools on DC. A rating of 120 volts AC/DC means that your tool will operate

on standard 60 Hz AC or DC power. This information is printed on the nameplate.

Lower voltage will cause loss of power

and can result in over-heating. All

Craftsman tools are factory-tested; if this

tool does not operate, check the power

supply.
