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, fire 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.

Work area safety

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or

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.

9. If operating a power tool in a damp location is

unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of an

GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal Safety

10.

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.

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

11. 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.

12. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the

switch is in the off-position 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.

13. 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.

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

15.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.

or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

16.

If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.

dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

Power tool use and care

17. 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.

18. 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.

19. 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.

20. 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.

21.

Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the

are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

22. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

23. 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.

Service

24. 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.

25. Follow instruction for lubricating and

changing accessories.

26. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

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.

Not Recommended

Operations for

3. 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.

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 fly 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 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.

7. Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each

use inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks. 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. 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.

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 fly 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 accessory. 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 flammable 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 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.

a) 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. b)

Never place your hand near the rotating

accessory.

Accessory may kickback over your hand.

c) 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. d) 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. e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.

Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding:

a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the specific guard designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for

which the power tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe. b) 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. c) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that

are of correct size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel

thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges. d) 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:

17. Never use depressed center wheels or abrasive cut-off wheels.

18. Be careful not to damage the spindle, the flange (especially the installing surface) or the lock nut. Damage to these parts could result in wheel breakage.

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

20. 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.

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

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

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

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

25. Use only flanges specified for this tool.

26. Check that the workpiece is properly

supported.

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

28. 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.

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

30. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be sure no one is below when using the tool in high locations.
