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.
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 residual current device
(RCD).
Use of an RCD 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. A 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. Loose clothes,
jewellery 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.
Use of 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
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
22. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting t ools 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 perfo rme d. Use of the power
tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from re peated use) re place stric t adherence
to grinder sa fety rules. If you us e this tool un safely
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 a nd specifications provid ed 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 perf ormed wi th th is power
tool. Operati ons for which t he po wer t ool was n ot
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 a ttached to your power tool, it
does not assure safe operation.
5. The rate d speed of the ac cessory must b e at
least equal to the maximum speed marked on
the power to ol. Accessories runnin g 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 ot her ac cess ory mus t proper ly fi t
the spindle of the power tool. Acces sories 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 dam ag ed 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 e ye protection must
be capable of st op ping fl ying deb ris ge nerate d b y
various operati ons . 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 work piec e or of a b roken accessor y
may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate
area of operation.
11. Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces onl y, whe n performing an oper ation
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 co ntrol, the cord ma y be
Page 5

cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be
pulled into the spinning accessory.
13. Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop. The
spinning accesso r y ma y gr ab the surface a nd pull
the power tool out of your control .
14. 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.
15. Regularly clean the p o wer t oo l’s air vents. The
motor’s fan will draw th e dust inside the housing
and excessive accumulation of powdered metal
may cause electrical ha zards.
16. Do not operate the power tool near fl ammabl e
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
17. Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants
may result in electrocution or shock.
18. 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 direc tion opposit e of t he access ory’s
rotation at the point of the binding.
For example , if an abrasive wheel is snagge d or
pinched by the workpiec e, the edge of the wheel
that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the
surface of t he m a te rial causing the w he el t o cl imb
out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward
or away from the operator, depending on direction
of the wheel’s movem ent at t he point of pinc hing.
Abrasive wheels may also break under these
conditions.
Kickback is the r esult of power tool mis use and /o r
incorrect ope rating procedures o r 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 reactio ns or kickback
forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory. Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
c) D o not positio n your body in the ar ea 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 bou ncing and snaggi ng
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
19. Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and
Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:
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 po sit ione d for m axim um safe ty,
so the least amount of wheel is exposed
towards the op erator. The guard hel ps to protect
operator from broken wheel fragments and
accidental contact with wheel.
c) Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with
the side of cut-off whe el. Abrasive cu t-off wheels
are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces
applied to these wheels may cause them to
shatter.
d) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that
are of corre ct size an d shape f or your selec ted
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 flan ge s.
e) Do not use worn down wheels from larger
power tool s. Wheel intended f or lar ger po wer t ool
is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool
and may burst.
20. Additional Safety Warnings Specific for
Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:
a) Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply
excessive pres sur e. Do not at tem pt to mak e an
excessive depth of c ut. Overstressing the wheel
increases the loadi ng and susce ptibility to twistin g
or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility
of kickback or wheel breakage.
b) Do not posi tion your body in li ne with and
behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at
the point of operati on, is moving away from your
body, the possible kickback may propel the
spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
c) 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 co me s to a co mp le te sto p . Nev er at te mpt
to remove the c ut-off wheel from the cut w hile

occur. Investigate and take corrective action to
eliminate the cause of wheel binding
d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the
workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and
carefully reenter the cut. The wheel may bind,
walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in
the workpiece.
e) 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.
f) 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.
21. Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding
Operations:
a) 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.
22. Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing
Operations:
a) 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.
b) If the use of a guard is recommended for wire
brushing, do not allow 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.
23. When using depressed centre grinding wheels,
be sure to use only fiberglass-reinforced
wheels.
24. 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.
25. Make sure the wheel is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
26. 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.
27. Use the specified surface of the wheel to
perform the grinding.
28. Watch out for flying sparks. Hold the tool so
that sparks fly away from you and other
persons or flammable materials.
29. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
30. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after
operation; it may be extremely hot and could
burn your skin.
31. Always be sure that the tool is switched off
and unplugged or that the battery cartridge is
removed before carrying out any work on the
tool.
32. Observe the instructions of the manufacturer
for correct mounting and use of wheels.
Handle and store wheels with care.
33. Do not use separate reducing bushings or
adaptors to adapt large hole abrasive wheels.
34. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
35. For tools intended to be fitted with threaded
hole wheel, ensure that the thread in the wheel
is long enough to accept the spindle length.
36. Check that the workpiece is properly
supported.
37. Watch out for flying sparks. Hold the tool so
that sparks fly away from you and other
persons or flammable materials.
38. Pay attention that the wheel continues to
rotate after the tool is switched off.
39. 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.
40. Do not use the tool on any materials
containing asbestos.
41. Do not use water or grinding lubricant.
42. Ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear
when working in dusty conditions. If it should
become necessary to clear dust, first
disconnect the tool from the mains supply
( use non metallic objects ) and avoid
damaging internal parts.
43. When use cut-off wheel, always work with the
dust collecting wheel guard required by
domestic regulation.
44. Cutting discs must not be subjected to any
lateral pressure.
