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.
Power tool use and care
1.
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.
2.
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.
3.
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 pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
4.
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.
5.
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.
6.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing 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.
Service
1.
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.
2.
Follow instruction for lubricating and chang
-
ing accessories.
3.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The
smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

Grinder safety warnings
Safety Warnings Common for Grinding Operations:
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 brush
-
ing, polishing or cutting-off are not recom-
mended to be performed with this power tool.
Operations for which the power tool was not
designed may create a hazard and cause per-
sonal injury.
3.
Do not use accessories which are not specifi
-
cally 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 guarded or controlled.
6.
Threaded mounting of accessories must
match the grinder spindle thread. For acces-
sories mounted by flanges, the arbour hole of
the accessory must fit the locating diameter
of the flange.
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.
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. If power tool or
accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or
install an undamaged accessory. After inspect-
ing and installing an accessory, position your-
self 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.
