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, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at

all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

d) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.

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

moving parts.

English

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.

WARNING: The use of any accessory or attachment or

performance of any operation with this tool, other than those recommended in this instruction manual may present a risk of

English

personal injury.

b) 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.

c) 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.

Tuckpointing Safety Rules

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• The arbor size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any other accessory must properly fit the spindle of the power tool.

Accessories 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.

• The guard must be securely attached to the power tool

and positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator. The guard helps

to protect operator from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel.

• 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 shock the operator.

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

• Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as diamond wheel 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.

• DO NOT grind or cut metal with a diamond wheel.

• 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.

• Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut.

Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.

• Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.

• DO NOT use abrasive wheels.

• ALWAYS use with a dust collector. WARNING: When not in use, place grinder on a stable surface

where it will not move inadvertantly, roll or cause a tripping or falling hazard. Serious personal injury may result.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are

NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS wear certified safety equipment:

• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3).

• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection.

• NIOSH/OSHA respiratory protection.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,

grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California 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.

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.

English

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.

WARNING: Before beginning the work, check to determine the hazard classification of the dust produced. Use an industrial dust extractor vacuum of the appropriate officially approved safety class that is in compliance with your local dust hazard

English

control regulations.

WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection.

Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.

Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback

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 diamond 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. diamond wheels may also break under these conditions.

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: a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your

body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces.

Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback or torque reaction during start up.

The operator can control torque reaction or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.

b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.

Accessory may kickback over your hand.

c) Do not position your body in the area where power tool

will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.

d) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc.

Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.

e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed

saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
