operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
m 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.
m 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.
m Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
m Do not abuse the cord. Never use the

the power tool. Keep the cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
m 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.
m 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
m 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

all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
m Operation such as polishing is not
recommended to be performed with
this power tools. Operation for which the
power tool was not designed may create a
hazard and casue personal injury.
m 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.
m 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.
m 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.
m Threaded mounting of accessories
must match the grinder spindle
thread. For accessories mounted
by flanges, the arbour hole of the
accessory must fit the locating
diameter of the flange. 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.
m 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
no-load speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories will normally break
apart during this test time.
8
JCB-18AG
Instruction & User Manual
m 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.
m 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.
m Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces only, when
performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will also
make exposed metal parts of the power
tool “live” and could give the operator an
electric shock.
m 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.
m 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.
m Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
m Do not use accessories that require
liquid coolants. Using water or other
liquid coolants may result in electrocution or
shock.
Kickback And Related Warnings
m 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.
m 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.
9
JCB-18AG
Instruction & User Manual
m 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
reactions or kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
m Never place your hand near the
rotating accessory. Accessory may
kickback over your hand.
m 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.
m 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.
m Do not attach a saw chain
woodcarving blade or toothed saw
blade. Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control.
