GENERAL SAFETY RULES

(For All Tools)

WARNING! Read and understand all instructions.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Work Area

1. Keep your work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.

2. 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.

3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

4. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug ( one blade is wider than the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation

the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.

5. 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.

6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

7. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to

carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet.

eliminates the need for

GA5011 GA6010,GA6010Z GA6011

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of

electric shock.

8. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W". These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

Personal Safety

9. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A

moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

10. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

11. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

12. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

14. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT eye protection.

Tool Use and Care

15. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform.

Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

16. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

17. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

18. Disconnect the plug from the power source

before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

19. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

20. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

21. Check for misalignment or binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained tools.

22. Use only accessories that are recommended

by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.

SERVICE

23. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or

maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

24. When servicing a tool, use only identical

replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of

unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

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.

4. When using depressed center grinding wheels,

be sure to use only fiberglass-reinforced wheels.

5. Always use safety glasses or goggles. Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses.

6. Check the wheel carefully for cracks or damage before operation. Replace cracked or damaged wheel immediately. Run the tool (with guard) at no load for about a minute, holding tool away from others. If wheel is flawed, it will likely separate during this test.

7. Use only flanges specified for this tool.

8. Be careful not to damage the spindle, the

Not Recommended

flange (especially the installing surface) or the lock nut. Damage to these parts could result in wheel breakage.

9. NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades or other sawblades. Such blades when used on a grinder frequently kick and cause loss of control leading to personal injury.

10. Hold the tool firmly.

11. Keep hands away from rotating parts.

12. Make sure cord is clear of wheel. Do not wrap

cord around your arm or wrist. If control of tool is lost, cord may become wrapped around you and cause personal injury.

13. Make sure the wheel is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on.

14. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly balanced wheel.

15. Use the specified surface of the wheel to perform the grinding.

16. Watch out for flying sparks. Hold the tool so that sparks fly away from you and other persons or flammable materials.

17. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.

18. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after operation; it may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.

19. ALWAYS wear proper apparel including long sleeve shirts, leather gloves and shop aprons to protect skin from contact with hot grindings.

20. Use of this tool to grind or sand some products, paints and wood could expose user to dust containing hazardous substances. Use appropriate respiratory protection.

21. After using the tool, make sure the wheel rotation comes to a complete stop before setting the tool down. Setting the tool down with the wheel rotating can cause personal injury.

OPERATION

WARNING:

• It should never be necessary to force the tool. The

weight of the tool applies adequate pressure. Forcing and excessive pressure could cause dangerous wheel breakage.

• ALWAYS replace wheel if tool is dropped while

grinding.

• NEVER bang or hit grinding disc or wheel onto

work.

• Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel, especially

when working corners, sharp edges etc. This can cause loss of control and kickback.

• NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades and

other sawblades. Such blades when used on a grinder frequently kick and cause loss of control leading to personal injury.

CAUTION:

• Never switch on the tool when it is in contact with

the workpiece, it may cause an injury to operator.

• Always wear safety goggles or a face shield during

operation.

• After operation, always switch off the tool and wait

until the wheel has come to a complete stop before putting the tool down.

Grinding and sanding operation

007998

ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with one hand on rear handle and the other on the side handle. Turn the tool on and then apply the wheel or disc to the workpiece. In general, keep the edge of the wheel or disc at an angle of about 15 degrees to the workpiece surface. During the break-in period with a new wheel, do not work the grinder in the B direction or it will cut into the workpiece. Once the edge of the wheel has been rounded off by use, the wheel may be worked in both A and B direction.

Operation with wire cup brush (optional accessory)

CAUTION:

• Check operation of brush by running tool with no

load, insuring that no one is in front of or in line with brush.

• Do not use brush that is damaged, or which is out

of balance. Use of damaged brush could increase potential for injury from contact with broken brush wires.

When using brush, avoid applying too much pressure which causes over bending of wires, leading to premature breakage.

NOTE:

• When using wire cup brush, mount urethane

washer to the spindle. It will make it easier to remove wire cup brush.

Operation with wire wheel brush (optional accessory)

CAUTION:

• Check operation of wire wheel brush by running

tool with no load, insuring that no one is in front of or in line with the wire wheel brush.

• Do not use wire wheel brush that is damaged, or

which is out of balance. Use of damaged wire wheel brush could increase potential for injury from contact with broken wires.

008054

WARNING:

• When using an abrasive cut-off wheel, be sure to

use only the special wheel guard designed for use with cut-off wheels.

• NEVER use cut-off wheel for side grinding.

• Do not "jam" the 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, wheel breakage and overheating of the motor may occur.

• Do not start the cutting operation in the workpiece.

Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully enter into the cut moving the tool forward over the workpiece surface. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is started in the workpiece.

• During cutting operations, never change the angle

of the wheel. Placing side pressure on the cut-off wheel (as in grinding) will cause the wheel to crack and break, causing serious personal injury.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before attempting to perform inspection

or maintenance. The tool and its air vents have to be kept clean. Regularly clean the tool's air vents or whenever the vents start to become obstructed.
