General Safety Rules

WARNING! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all

instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire

and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the

warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated

(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power

tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Work area safety

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered 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 children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can cause

you to lose control.

Electrical safety

4. 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.

5. 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.

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 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.

8. 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.

Personal safety

9. 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 result in serious

personal injury.

10. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye

protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask,

non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing

protection used for appropriate conditions will

reduce personal injuries.

11. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is

in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying

power tools with your finger on the switch or

plugging in power tools that have the switch on

invites accidents.

12. 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.

13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. This enables better control

of the power tool in unexpected situations.

14. 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.

15. If devices are provided for the connection of

dust extraction and collection facilities,

ensure these are connected and properly used.

Use of these devices can reduce dust-related

hazards.

Power tool use and care

16. 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.

17. 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.

18. 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.

19. 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

4

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

20. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment

or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts

and any other condition that may affect the

power tools operation. If damaged, have the

power tool repaired before use. Many accidents

are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

21. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges

are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

22. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits

etc. in accordance with these instructions and

in the manner intended for the particular type

of power tool, 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.

Service

23. 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.

24. Follow instruction for lubricating and

changing accessories.

25. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and

grease.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product

(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence

to grinder safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely

or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal

injury.

1. Safety Warnings Common for Grinding,

Sanding, Wire Brushing, or Abrasive

Cutting-Off Operations:

2. This power tool is intended to function as a

grinder, sander, wire brush or cut-off tool.

Read 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.

3. Operations such as polishing 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing

pads or any other accessory must properly fit

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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. Position the cord clear of the spinning

accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be
