DIE GRINDER SAFETY
WARNINGS
Safety Warnings Common for Grinding Operation:
1. 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.
2. Operations such as sanding, wire brushing,
polishing or cutting-off 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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 controlled.
6. The arbour size of accessories must properly
fit the collet of the power tool.
Accessories that
do not match the mounting hardware of the power
tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively
and may cause loss of control.
7. Mandrel mounted accessories must be fully
inserted into the collet or chuck.
If the mandrel
is insufficiently held and/or the overhang of the
wheel is too long, the mounted accessory may
become loose and be ejected at high velocity.
8. Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use
inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for
chips and cracks. 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 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.
10. 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.
11. 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
could give the operator an electric shock.
12. Always hold the tool firmly in your hand(s) during
the start-up.
The reaction torque of the motor, as it
accelerates to full speed, can cause the tool to twist.
13. Use clamps to support workpiece whenever
practical. Never hold a small workpiece in one
hand and the tool in the other hand while in
use.
Clamping a small workpiece allows you to
use your hand(s) to control the tool. Round
material such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing have
a tendency to roll while being cut, and may cause
the bit to bind or jump toward you.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. After changing the bits or making any
adjustments, make sure the collet nut, chuck
or any other adjustment devices are securely
tightened.
Loose adjustment devices can
unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control, loose
rotating components will be violently thrown.
