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 electric
(corded) power tool or batteryoperated (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 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 grounded
power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with
grounded surfaces, such
as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if
your body is 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 inuence

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, 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 offposition 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.
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

Customer Helpline 1300 889 028
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 qualied repair
person using only identical
replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL OPERATIONS
Safety Warnings Common
for Grinding or Abrasive
Cutting-Off Operations:
a) This power tool is intended to
function as a grinder or cut-off
tool. Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and
specications provided with
this power tool. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
b) Operations such as grinding,
sanding, wire brushing,
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 specically 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 fly 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) Threaded mounting of
accessories must match the
grinder spindle thread. For
accessories mounted by anges,
the arbour hole of the accessory
must t the locating diameter of
the ange. Accessories 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, 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 noload speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories will normally
break apart during this test time.
h) Wear personal protective

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.
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 fly away and cause
injury beyond immediate area of
operation.
j) Hold the 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 could give the operator an
electric shock.
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 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.
