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, ﬁ re 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 s afety 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 ﬂ ammable 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.

Unmodiﬁ ed 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.

English

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 inﬂ uence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

tool is maintained.

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 ﬁ lter out microscopic particles.

SAFETY WARNINGS FOR GRINDING OPERATIONS

a) This power tool is intended to function

as a grinder. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and speciﬁ cations provided with this power tool.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below

may result in electric shock, ﬁ re and/or serious injury.

b) Operations such as sanding, wire

brushing or polishing or cutting-oﬀ are not recommended to be performed with this power tool.

Operations for which the power tool was not

designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.

c) Do not use accessories which are not

speciﬁ cally designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer.

Just because the accessory can be attached

to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.

d) 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 ﬂ y apart.

e) 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 arbour size of wheels, ﬂ anges, backing

pads or any other accessory must properly ﬁ t the spindle of the power tool.

Accessories with arbour 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.

g) Do not use a damaged accessory.

Before each use inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks. 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

ﬂ ying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of ﬁ ltrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.

English

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 ﬂ y 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 shock the operator.

k) 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.

l) 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.

m) 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.

n) 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.

o) Do not operate the power tool near

ﬂ ammable materials.

Sparks could ignite these materials.

p) Do not use accessories that require liquid

coolants.

Using water or other liquid coolants may result

in electrocution or shock.

KICKBACK AND RELATED WARNINGS

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.

a) Maintain a ﬁ rm 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 reactions

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.

SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR GRINDING OPERATIONS

a) Use only wheel types that are

recommended for your power tool and the speciﬁ c guard designed for the selected wheel.

Wheels for which the power tool was not

designed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.

b) Wheels must be used only for

recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of cut-oﬀ wheel.

Abrasive cut-oﬀ wheels are intended for

peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.

c) Always use undamaged wheel ﬂ anges

that are of correct size and shape for your selected wheel.

English

Proper wheel ﬂ anges support the wheel thus

reducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-oﬀ wheels may be diﬀ erent from grinding wheel ﬂ anges.

d) Do not use worn down wheels from larger

power tools.

Wheel intended for larger power tool is not

suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR GRINDERS

– Check that speed marked on the wheel is

equal to or greater than the rated speed of the grinder;

– Ensure that the wheel dimensions are

compatible with the grinder;

– Abrasive wheels shall be stored and handled

with care in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions;

– Inspect the grinding wheel before use, do not

use chipped, cracked or otherwise defective products;

– Ensure that mounted wheels and points are

ﬁ tted in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions;

– Ensure that blotters are used when they are

provided with the bonded abrasive product and when they are required;

– Do not use the power tool to machine materials

that contain components that are harmful to health.

– Ensure that the abrasive product is correctly

mounted and tightened before use and run the tool at no-load for 30 s in a safe position, stop immediately if there is considerable vibration or if other defects are detected. If this condition occurs, check the machine to determine the cause;

– If a guard is equipped with the tool never use

the tool without such a guard;

– Do not use separate reducing bushings or

adapters to adapt large hole abrasive wheels;

– For tools intended to be ﬁ tted with threaded

hole wheel, ensure that the thread in the wheel is long enough to accept the spindle length;

– Check that the work piece is properly

supported; – Do not use cutting oﬀ wheel for side grinding; – Ensure that sparks resulting from use do not

create a hazard e.g. do not hit persons, or ignite

ﬂ ammable substances; – Ensure that ventilation openings are kept

clear when working in dusty conditions, if it

should become necessary to clear dust, ﬁ rst

disconnect the tool from the mains supply (use non metallic objects) and avoid damaging internal parts;

– Always use eye and ear protection. Other

personal protective equipment such as dust mask, gloves, helmet and apron should be worn;

– Pay attention to the wheel that continues to

rotate after the tool is switched oﬀ .

NOTE

○ The low battery warning lamp may be aﬀ ected

by the ambient temperature or battery characteristics. Use the lamp as a guide for when to charge the battery.

○ The low battery warning lamp may light during

operation of the grinder. This is due to a temporary drop in the battery voltage, and not to low battery power.

○ When checking the remaining battery power,

be sure to operate the grinder in an unloaded condition.

2. Switch dial

The switch dial also serves as the start-up

switch and the speed dial. When the dial is rotated from [0] to a higher number, the grinder switches on and gradually builds up speed. At the same time, the LED lamp lights and illuminates the tip of the grinder.

When the dial is returned to [0], the grinder

switches oﬀ and rotation stops.

For safety reasons, the grinder will not start up

if the battery is inserted while the switch is at any position other than [0].

To switch the grinder on at such time, return the

dial to [0] and then rotate it to a higher number.

The approximate relationship between the

numbers on the switch dial and the rotation speed is shown in the graph in Fig. 4.

Battery capacity (Ah)

1.5 Ah

CAUTION

● When the battery charger has been continuously used, the battery charger will be heated, thus constituting the cause of the failures. Once the charging has been completed, give 15 minutes rest until the next charging.

● If the battery is charged while it is heated because it has been left for a long time in a location subject to direct sunlight or because the battery has just been used, the pilot lamp of the charger lights for 1 second, does not light for 0.5 seconds (oﬀ for 0.5 seconds). In such a case, ﬁ rst let the battery cool, then start charging.

● When the pilot lamp ﬂ ickers (at 0.2-second intervals), check for and take out any foreign objects in the charger’s battery installation hole. If there are no foreign objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service Center.

● If the battery charger does not work while the battery is mounted correctly, it is probable that the battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service Center.

BEFORE USE

Check the work area to make sure that it is clear of debris and clutter. Clear the area of unnecessary personnel. Ensure that lighting and ventilation is adequate.

5. Remove the battery from the battery charger. Supporting the battery charger with hand, pull

out the battery from the battery charger.

How to make the batteries perform longer

○ Recharge the batteries before they become

completely exhausted.

When you feel that the power of the tool

becomes weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric current, the battery may be damaged and its life will become

shorter. ○ Avoid recharging at high temperatures. A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately

after use. If such a battery is recharged

immediately after use, its internal chemical

substance will deteriorate, and the battery

life will be shortened. Leave the battery and

recharge it after it has cooled for a while.

6. Machining ○ Place the rotating tip tool lightly against the

workpiece and machine the workpiece with

minimal pressure. ○ Rather than doing the whole task in a single

action, a better ﬁ nish is achieved gradually by

multiple machinings.

NOTE

○ The grinder narrows toward the tip tool holder.

Place your ﬁ nger on the narrow section and

hold the grinder for easy operation. (Fig. 10) ○ When machining a material for the ﬁ rst time or

using the tip tool for the ﬁ rst time, perform trial

grinding ﬁ rst to check the optimal speed, how

to hold the grinder and how to place the tool

against the workpiece. ○ If you do not achieve the expected results,

applying more pressure to the power tool will

not give better results. Nor will the machining

performance be improved by tilting the power

tool. Adjust the rotating speed or change to

another tip tool.
