IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING! Read and understand all instructions before using this tool. Keep this
manual for the safety warnings and precautions, operating, inspection and maintenance
instructions. When using this tool, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce
the risk of personal injury and/or damage to the equipment.

WORK AREA

1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.

2. Operate in a safe work environment. Do not use machines or power tools in damp or wet locations.

Do not expose to rain. Do not use power tools in the presence of flammable gases or liquids.

3. Keep children, bystanders and visitors away from the work area. Do not let them handle tools or

extension cords. No one should be in the work area if they are not wearing suitable protective equipment.

4. Store unused equipment. When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry location to prevent rust.

Always lock up tools and keep them out of reach of children.

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. Use eye and ear protection. Always wear ANSI approved impact safety goggles. Wear a full face shield

if your work creates metal filings or wood chips. Wear an ANSI approved dust mask or respirator when
working around metal dusts. Wear ANSI approved earplugs.

2. Do not over reach; keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables

better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

3. Dress properly, wear protective equipment. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be

caught in moving parts. Tie back long hair. Protective, electrically non-conductive clothes and non-skid
footwear are recommended when working.

4. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use your common sense. Do not operate any machine or

tool when you are tired, under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medications.

5. Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the work piece to a stable platform.

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

TOOL USE AND CARE

1. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or attachment to do the work of a

larger industrial tool. The tool will perform better and safer at the task for which it was intended. Do not
modify this tool or use for a purpose for which it was not designed.

2. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean, sharp and in good condition for a better and safer

performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool fittings,
alignment and hoses periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized technician
or replaced. The handles must be kept clean, dry and free from oil and grease at all times. A properly
maintained tool reduces the risk of binding and is easier to control. Sharp tools are safer than tools which
have become dull because you do not have to apply excessive amounts of force to make your cuts.
Applying excessive force can lead to slips and damage to your projects or personal injury.

3. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the

tool or machine before connecting it. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool
increases the risk of personal injury.

4. Avoid unintentional starts. Be sure that the throttle/ignition switch is in neutral or OFF position when

not in use and before connecting it to any power/air source. Do not carry the tool with fingers near or on
the switch.

5. Only use the lubricants supplied with the tool or specified by the manufacturer. Other lubricants

may not be suitable and may damage the tool or even make the tool explode.

6. When not in use for an extended period, apply a thin coat of lubricant to the steel parts to avoid
rust.

SERVICE

1. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears to be damaged should be

carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform it's intended functions. Check
for alignment and binding of moving parts; broken parts or mounting fixtures, or any other condition
that may affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a
qualified technician.

2. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Only use accessories intended for use with this
tool.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. Disconnect power supply. Disconnect from power supply when not in use, before cleaning, servicing or

changing any parts or accessories.

2. Protect yourself against electric shocks when working on electrical equipment. Prevent body
contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cooking stoves and refrigerators. There is an
increased chance of electrical shock if your body is grounded.

3. 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 eliminates the need for a three wire grounded power cord and
grounded power supply system.

4. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do

not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet
is properly grounded. If the tool should electronically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a
low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.

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

6. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Do not operate this tool if the power cord is frayed or
damaged. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock. Do
not modify the plug in any way.

7. 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.

8. Avoid using an unnecessarily long extension cord. Choose a cord that is appropriate for the situation,
as a cord that is too long and running across the floor can be more dangerous than helpful.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Keep guards in place and in working order

2. Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally

contacted.

3. Feed the work in the correct direction. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of
rotation of the blade or cutter only.

4. Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the power off and unplug the tool when not in use. Do not
leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.

5. Keep spare grinding wheels in dry places, protected from knocks or falls.

6. Use only MPA standard spare grinding wheels no more than 4" in diameter. Substandard wheels

might explode during use, putting the operator in serious danger.

7. Never use a wheel that has been worn down to a diameter of 3" or less.

8. Wheels must turn clockwise, as shown by the arrow on the fixed wheel guard.

9. Only use wheels that have an operating speed equal to or higher than the tool's operating speed
(6,300 RPM).

10. Never tamper with the tool’s plug or power supply lead. If necessary, have any repairs done by a

skilled technician.

11. After fitting, replacement wheels must turn freely. Do not keep on using wheels that vibrate or have
become distorted.

12. Do not move the move the chain on with your left hand with the wheel in motion.

13. Do not stop the wheel with your hands or other objects

14. Treat the chain teeth with caution when at work, they may cause deep cuts.

CHANGING THE WHEEL

If the wheel wears beyond the permitted limit (more than 1") or is unbalanced, it must be
replaced. Use only abrasive wheels compliant with the MPA standards, 4" in diameter and
guaranteed for the tool’s operating speed when not sharpening (6,300 RPM).

1. Unplug the tool.

2. Unscrew the M8 x 100 fixing bolt by using the 13 mm spanner (see Fig. 1) to detach the whole unit
from the worktable (see Fig. 2).

3. Remove the safety guard (see Fig. 3).

4. Insert the stopping bolt (see Fig. 4) into the hole at the bottom of the unit to lock the spindle and
then unscrew the fixing bolt of the guard by using the 13 mm spanner (see Fig. 5).

5. Put the new disk (see Fig. 5) and then the top flange onto the spindle (see Fig. 4), stop the spindle
by putting the bolt into the hole and tightening the nut by using the 13 mm spanner.

6. Re-install the guard and tighten the M4 10 screw.

7. Fix the whole unit onto the worktable and put the M8 100 screw into the connection hole and then
