General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING! 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. Cluttered 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. Distractions 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 or 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

outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location 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. Always wear eye

protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,

English

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

English

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before 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 clothing or jewellery.

Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery 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.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES Additional Specific Safety Instructions

for Grinders

• Check that the grinding wheel backing flange has a yellow

rubber ring (D) installed, see Figure 1. Replace rubber ring if missing, damaged or worn. See page 7 for details regarding proper accessory installation.

WARNING: The grinding wheel or accessory may loosen during coast-down of the tool when shut off if rubber ring is missing or damaged. If grinding wheel or accessory loosens, it

may dismount from the machine and may cause serious personal injury.

• Always use proper guard with grinding wheel. A guard

protects operator from broken wheel fragments and wheel contact.

• Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recom mended on the tool warning label. Wheels and other accessories running

over rated speed can fly apart and cause injury. Accessory ratings must be above listed minimum wheel speed as shown on tool nameplate.

• 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.

• Do not use Type 11 (flaring cup) wheels on this tool. Using inappropriate accessories can result in injury.

• ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN USING THIS TOOL.

• Use of accessories not specified in this manual is not recommended and may be hazardous. Use of power boosters

that would cause the tool to be driven at speeds greater than its rated speed constitutes misuse.

• Do not use circular saw blades or any other toothed blades with this tool. Serious injury may result.

• When starting the tool with a new or replacement wheel, or a

new or replacement wire brush 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. If the wire brush has loose wires, they will be detected. Never start the tool with a person in line with the wheel. This includes the operator.

• Avoid bouncing the wheel or giving it rough treatment. If this occurs, stop the tool and inspect the wheel for cracks or flaws.

• Direct sparks away from operator, bystanders or flammable materials. Sparks may be produced while cutting and/or grinding. Sparks may cause burns or start fires.

• Always use side handle. Tighten the handle securely. The side handle should always be used to maintain control of the tool at all times.

• Never cut into area that may contain electrical wiring or

piping. Serious injury may result.

• Clean out your tool often, especially after heavy use. Dust

and grit containing metal particles often accumulate on interior surfaces and could create an electric shock hazard.

• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration

caused by the operating action of this tool may cause permanent injury to fingers, hands, and arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion, take frequent rest periods, and limit daily time of use.

• Direct the Dust Ejection System (DES) away from operator and coworkers. Serious injury may result (Fig. 1, K).

Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback

• Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned wheel, wire brush or flap disc causing an uncontrolled cut-off tool to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator.

• When the wheel is pinched or bound tightly by the workpiece, the wheel stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward or away from the operator.

• Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:

• Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the unit and

position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by the

operator, if proper precautions are taken.

• When wheel is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any

reason, release the trigger and hold the unit motionless in the material until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the unit from the work or pull the unit backward while the wheel is in motion or kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions

to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.

English

• When restarting a cut-off tool in the workpiece, check that the wheel is not engaged into the material. If wheel is

binding, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the tool is restarted.

• Support large panels to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Support must be placed under the panel on both

English

sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel.

CAUTION: Use extra care when working into a corner because

a sudden, sharp movement of the grinder may be experienced when the wheel or other accessory contacts a secondary surface or a surface edge.

• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,

grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,

sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or

lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust,

which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.

work surface.

2. Apply minimum pressure to work surface, allowing the tool to

operate at high speed. Material removal rate is greatest when the tool operates at high speed.

3. Maintain a 5˚ to 10˚ angle between the

tool and work surface for wire cup brushes.

4. Maintain contact between the edge of

the wheel and the work surface with wire wheels.

5. Continuously move the tool in a forward and backward motion

to avoid creating gouges in the work surface. Allowing the tool to rest on the work surface without moving, or moving the tool in a circular motion causes burning and swirling marks on the work surface.

5˚-10˚

6. Remove the tool from the work surface before turning the tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before setting it down.

CAUTION: Use extra care when working over

an edge, as a sudden sharp movement of grinder may be experienced.

Mounting and Using Cutting

English

(Type 1) Wheels

Cutting wheels include diamond wheels and abrasive discs. Abrasive cutting wheels for metal and concrete use are available. Diamond blades for concrete cutting can also be used. NOTE: All grinders that use Type 1 wheels use the quick-change backing flange (G).

WARNING: Fail ure to use proper flange and guard can re sult in

injury resulting from wheel breakage and wheel contact. See page 7 for more information.

MOUNTING CLOSED (TYPE 1) GUARD

1. Open the guard latch (M). Align

the lugs (N) on the guard with the slots (O) on the gear case.

2. Push the guard down until the

guard lug engages and rotates freely in the groove on the gear case hub.

3. Rotate guard (I) into desired working position. The guard body should be positioned between the spindle and the operator to provide maximum operator protection.

4. Close the guard latch to secure the guard on the gear case cover. You should be unable to rotate the guard by hand when the latch is in closed position. If rotation is possible, tighten the adjusting screw (P) with clamp lever in the closed position. Do not operate grinder with a loose guard or clamp lever in open position.

5. To remove the guard, open the guard latch, rotate the guard so that the arrows are aligned and pull up on the guard.

NOTE: If, after a period of time, the guard becomes loose, tighten the adjusting screw (P) with the clamp lever in the closed position.

CAUTION: Do not tighten adjusting screw with clamp lever in

open position. Undetectable damage to guard or mounting hub may result.

MOUNTING CUTTING WHEELS

CAUTION: Matching diameter backing flange and threaded

clamp nut (included with tool) must be used for cutting wheels.

1. Place the quick-change backing flange on spindle with the

raised section (pilot) facing up. The raised section (pilot) on the backing flange will be against the wheel when the wheel is installed.

2. Place the wheel on the backing flange, centering the wheel on the raised section (pilot).

3. Install the threaded clamp nut with the raised section (pilot) facing away from the wheel.

4. Depress the spindle lock button and tighten clamp nut with a wrench.

5. To remove the wheel, grasp and turn while depressing the spindle lock button.

USING CUTTING WHEELS

WARNING: Do not use edge grinding/ cutting

wheels for surface grinding applications because these wheels are not designed for side pressures encountered with surface grinding. Wheel breakage and injury may result.

1. Allow tool to reach full speed before touching tool to work surface.

2. Apply minimum pressure to work surface, allowing tool to operate at high speed. Cutting rate is greatest when the tool operates at high speed.

3. Once a cut is begun and a notch is established in the workpiece, do not change the angle of the cut. Changing the angle will cause the wheel to bend and may cause wheel breakage.

4. Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before setting it down.

Advertencias generales de seguridad para las herramientas eléctricas

ADVERTENCIA: Lea todas las advertencias de seguridad e instrucciones. El incumplimiento de las advertencias o

instrucciones puede provocar descargas eléctricas, incendios o lesiones graves.

GUARDE LAS ADVERTENCIAS E

INSTRUCCIONES PARA PODER

CONSULTARLAS EN EL FUTURO

El término “herramienta eléctrica” incluido en todas las advertencias se refiere a su herramienta eléctrica conectada a la red (cable eléctrico) o a su herramienta eléctrica accionada con baterías (inalámbrica).

1) SEGURIDAD DEL ÁREA DE TRABAJO

a) Mantenga el área de trabajo limpia y bien iluminada. Las

áreas abarrotadas u oscuras propician accidentes.

b) No haga funcionar las herramientas eléctricas en

atmósferas explosivas, como ambientes donde haya polvo, gases o líquidos inflamables. Las herramientas

eléctricas originan chispas que pueden encender el polvo o producir humo.

c) Mantenga alejados a los niños y a los espectadores

de la herramienta eléctrica en funcionamiento. Las

distracciones pueden provocar la pérdida de control.

2) SEGURIDAD ELÉCTRICA

a) Los enchufes de la herramienta eléctrica deben adaptarse

a la toma de corriente. Nunca modifique el enchufe de ninguna manera. No utilice ningún enchufe adaptador con herramientas eléctricas con conexión a tierra. Los

enchufes no modificados y que se adaptan a las tomas de corrientes reducirán el riesgo de descarga eléctrica.

b) Evite el contacto corporal con superficies con toma de

tierra como, por ejemplo, tuberías, radiadores, cocinas y refrigeradores. Existe mayor riesgo de descarga eléctrica si

su cuerpo está puesto a tierra.

c) No exponga las herramientas eléctricas a la lluvia ni a

condiciones de humedad. Si entra agua en una herramienta

eléctrica, aumentará el riesgo de descarga eléctrica.

d) No use el cable indebidamente. Nunca utilice el cable para

transportar, tirar o desenchufar la herramienta eléctrica. Mantenga el cable alejado del calor, el aceite, los bordes afilados o las piezas móviles. Los cables dañados o

enredados aumentan el riesgo de descarga eléctrica.

e) Al operar una herramienta eléctrica en el exterior, utilice

un cable prolongador adecuado para tal uso. Utilice un

cable adecuado para uso en exteriores a fin de reducir el riesgo de descarga eléctrica.
