Instruction & User Manual
m
Do not use a damaged 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.
m
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.
m
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.
m
Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces only, when
performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cords.
Cutting
accessory contacting a “live” wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool
“live” and could give the operator an electric
shock.
m
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.
m
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.
m
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.
m
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.
m
Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite
these materials.
The above warning may be omitted if pol-
ishing or sanding are the only recommended
operations.
