•

safer at the rate for which it is designed.
•

is dangerous and must be repaired.
•
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
•
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
•
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
•
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that
may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Poorly maintained
tools cause many accidents.
•
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may
be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.
Service
•
Only qualified repair personnel must perform tool service. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
•

section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may
create a risk of electric shock or injury.
Additional Safety Rules For Grinders
•
Always use proper guard with grinding wheel. A guard protects operator from broken wheel
fragments.
•
Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the tool warning label. Wheels and
other accessories running over their rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.
•
Once installed, check new or replacement wheels. Any undetected crack or flaw can be checked by
holding the tool in a well protected area and let it run for one minute. If the wheel has an undetected
crack or flaw; it should burst in less than one minute.
•
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
