nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can
make a connection from one terminal to another
.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
burns or a fire.
d)
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help
.
Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) Service
a)
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
Additional safety instructions
a)
This power tool is intended to function as a grinder.
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this power
tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
b) Operations such as Cut-off, wire brushing, or
polishing are not recommended to be performed
with this power tool.
Operations for which the power
tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause
personal injury.
c) Do not use accessories which are not specifically
designed and recommended by the tool
manufacturer.
Just because the accessory can be
attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe
operation.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f)
The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or
any other accessory must properly fit the spindle of
the power tool.
Accessories 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.
g) 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.
h) 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 work piece 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.
i)
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work
area. Anyone entering the work area must wear
personal protective equipment.
Fragments away and
cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
j)
Hold 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
shock the operator.
k) 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.
l)
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.
n) Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
o) Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution or shock.
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 direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation
at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by
the work piece, 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.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area 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.
