GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! Read all safet y warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the w arnings 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.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings - Work Area Safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. 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.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings - Electrical Safety
a. 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.
b. 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.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
d. 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.
e. 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.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings - Personal Safety
a. 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.
b. 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.
c. 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.
3
d. 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.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g. 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.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings - Power Tool Use And Care
a. 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.
b. 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.
c. 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.
d. 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.
e. 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.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. 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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
Cut-off machine safety warnings
a. The guard provided with the tool must be securely attached to the power tool and
positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed towards the
operator. Position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating wheel. The
guard helps to protect operator from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
b. Use only diamond cut off wheels for your power tool. Just because an accessory can be attached to
your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
c. 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.
d. Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side
of a cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to
these wheels may cause them to shatter.
e. Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct diameter for your selected wheel. Proper
wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
f. 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.
g. The arbor size of wheels and flanges must properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Wheels
and flanges with arbor 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.
h. Do not use damaged wheels. Before each use, inspect the wheels for chips and cracks. If
5
power tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged wheel. After
inspecting and installing the wheel, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane
of the rotating wheel and run the power tool at maximum no load speed for one minute.
Damaged wheels will normally break apart during this test time.
i. Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety
goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and
shop 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.
j. 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 wheel may fly away and
cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
k. 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.
l. 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 wheel.
m. Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning wheel
may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
n. 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.
o. 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.
p. Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
Cut-Off Machine Safety Warnings - Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel. Pinching or snagging causes rapid
stalling of the rotating wheel which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction
opposite of the wheel’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.
6
b. Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your
16
hand.
c. Do not position your body in line with the rotating wheel. 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, segmented diamond wheel with a
peripheral gap greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control.
f. Do not “jam” the 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.
g. 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 wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may
occur. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
h. 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.
i. 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.
j. 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.
Cut-Off Machine Safety Warnings - Additional Safety Rules
WARNING: Avoid cutting in the upper quadrant of the
blade, especially when beginning the cut. This area is
highly likely to lead to kickback.
WARNING: When cutting plastics, do not allow the plastic
to melt. If the plastic melts, it can stick to the blade,
leading to kickback.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
1. All grounded, cord-connected tools:
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3 pole receptacles that accept
the tool's plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than
150 V:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Sketch
A. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A. A temporary adapter,
which looks like the adapter illustrated in Sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in Sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter
should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The
green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.
Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.
