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, 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.

Grinder safety warnings

Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding,
Wire Brushing, or Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:

1. This power tool is intended to function as a
grinder, sander, wire brush or cut-off tool.
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illus-

trations and specications provided with this

power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, re and/or
serious injury.

2. 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.

3. Do not use accessories which are not speci-
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.

4. 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 y apart.

5. 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.

6. Threaded mounting of accessories must
match the grinder spindle thread. For acces-

sories 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.

7. 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 acces-

sories will normally break apart during this test

time.

6 ENGLISH

8. 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
ying debris generated by various operations.
The dust mask or respirator must be capable of
ltrating particles generated by your operation.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may
cause hearing loss.

9. 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 y away and cause injury beyond immediate

area of operation.

10. 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.

11. Position the cord clear of the spinning acces-

sory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or
snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into
the spinning accessory.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. Do not operate the power tool near ammable

materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.

16. 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 move-

ment 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.

1. Maintain a 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.

2. Never place your hand near the rotating acces­sory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade
or toothed saw blade. Such blades create fre-

quent kickback and loss of control.

Safety Warnings Specic for Grinding and Abrasive

Cutting-Off Operations:

1. Use only wheel types that are recommended

for your power tool and the specic guard

designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for

which the power tool was not designed cannot be
adequately guarded and are unsafe.

2. The grinding surface of centre depressed
wheels must be mounted below the plane of
the guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel that

projects through the plane of the guard lip cannot
be adequately protected.

3. The guard must be securely attached to the
power tool and positioned for maximum safety,
so the least amount of wheel is exposed
towards the operator. The guard helps to protect

the operator from broken wheel fragments, acci­dental contact with wheel and sparks that could

ignite clothing.

4. 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.

5. Always use undamaged wheel anges that are

of correct size and shape for your selected
wheel. Proper wheel anges support the wheel

thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from
grinding wheel anges.

6. 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.

Additional Safety Warnings Specic for Abrasive

Cutting-Off Operations:

1. Do not “jam“ the cut-off 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 or wheel breakage.

7 ENGLISH

2. Do not position your body in line with and
behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at

the point of operation, is moving away from your
body, the possible kickback may propel the spin­ning wheel and the power tool directly at you.

3. When wheel is binding or when interrupting
a cut for any reason, switch off the power
tool and hold the power tool motionless until
the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never
attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the
cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise
kickback may occur. Investigate and take correc-

tive action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.

4.

Do not restart the cutting operation in the work­piece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully
re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or

kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.

5. Support panels or any oversized workpiece to
minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kick­back. Large workpieces tend to sag under their

own weight. Supports must be placed under the
workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge
of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.

6. Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut”
into existing walls or other blind areas. The

protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, elec­trical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.

Safety Warnings Specic for Sanding Operations:

1. Do not use excessively oversized sanding
disc paper. Follow manufacturers recommen­dations, when selecting sanding paper. Larger

sanding paper extending beyond the sanding
pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause
snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.

Safety Warnings Specic for Wire Brushing

Operations:

1. Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the
brush even during ordinary operation. Do not
overstress the wires by applying excessive
load to the brush. The wire bristles can easily

penetrate light clothing and/or skin.

2. If the use of a guard is recommended for wire

brushing, do not allow any interference of the
wire wheel or brush with the guard. Wire wheel

or brush may expand in diameter due to work load
and centrifugal forces.

Additional Safety Warnings:

1. When using depressed centre grinding wheels,

be sure to use only berglass-reinforced

wheels.

2. NEVER USE Stone Cup type wheels with this
grinder. This grinder is not designed for these

types of wheels and the use of such a product
may result in serious personal injury.

3. Be careful not to damage the spindle, the

ange (especially the installing surface) or the

lock nut. Damage to these parts could result in
wheel breakage.

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

5. 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.

6. Use the specied surface of the wheel to per-
form the grinding.

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

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

9. Observe the instructions of the manufacturer
for correct mounting and use of wheels.
Handle and store wheels with care.

10. Do not use separate reducing bushings or
adaptors to adapt large hole abrasive wheels.

11. Use only anges specied for this tool.

12. For tools intended to be tted with threaded

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

13. Check that the workpiece is properly
supported.

14. Pay attention that the wheel continues to
rotate after the tool is switched off.

15. If working place is extremely hot and humid,
or badly polluted by conductive dust, use a
short-circuit breaker (30 mA) to assure opera­tor safety.

16. Do not use the tool on any materials contain­ing asbestos.

17. When use cut-off wheel, always work with
the dust collecting wheel guard required by
domestic regulation.

18. Cutting discs must not be subjected to any
lateral pressure.

19. Do not use cloth work gloves during operation.
Fibers from cloth gloves may enter the tool, which
causes tool breakage.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

OPERATION

WARNING: It should never be necessary to

force the tool. The weight of the tool applies ade-

quate pressure. Forcing and excessive pressure
could cause dangerous wheel breakage.

WARNING: ALWAYS replace wheel if tool is

dropped while grinding.

WARNING: NEVER bang or hit grinding disc

or wheel onto work.

WARNING: Avoid bouncing and snagging

the wheel, especially when working corners,
sharp edges etc. This can cause loss of control and

kickback.

WARNING: NEVER use tool with wood cutting

blades and other saw blades. Such blades when

used on a grinder frequently kick and cause loss of
control leading to personal injury.
