Work Area Safety
• Keep your work area clean and well lit . Cluttered benches
and dark areas invite accidents .
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such
as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust .
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes .
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating
a power tool . Distractions can cause you to lose control and
endanger others .
Electrical Safety
• A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate
battery pack must be recharged only with the specified
charger for the battery . A charger that may be suitable for
one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery .
• Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated
battery pack . Use of any other batteries may create a risk of
fire .
Personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense
when operating a power tool . Do not use tool while tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication . A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury .
• Dress properly . Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry . Contain
long hair . Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from
moving parts . Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts .
• Avoid accidental starting . Be sure switch is in the locked or
"off" position before inserting battery pack . Carrying tools
with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack
into a tool with the switch on invites accidents .
• Repetitive motions or exposure to vibration may be harmful to
hands or arms .
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool
on . A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part
of the tool may result in personal injury .
• Do not overreach . Keep proper footing and balance at all
times . Proper footing and balance enable better control of the
tool in unexpected situations .
• Use safety equipment . Always wear safety eye, ear, hand and
face protection (users and bystanders) . Dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes and hard hat must be used for appropriate
conditions (users and bystanders) .
• Even small projectiles can injure eyes and cause blindness .
Accessories that bursts can cause very serious injury .
Tool Use and Care
• Do not use (or modify) the tool for any other purpose than
that for which it was designed without consulting the
manufacturer's authorized representative .
• Do not remove any labels . Replace damaged labels .
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support
the workpiece to a stable platform . Holding the work by hand
or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of
control .
• Do not force tool . Use the correct tool for your application .
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off . A tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired .
• Note direction of rotation BEFORE operating this tool .
• Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in
the locked or "off" position 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 .
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other
metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws,
or other small metal objects that can make a connection
from one terminal to another . Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire .
• 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 .
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools .
•
Correct grinding wheel mounting is necessary to prevent
injury from broken wheels . Do not use chipped or cracked
grinding wheels . Grinding wheels should be a free fit on the
spindle to prevent stress at the hole . Use only wheel collars
that come with the Grinder for mounting the griding wheel .
Flat washers or other adapters may over stress the wheel .
Always use heavy paper blotter discs between the wheel
collar and the grinding wheel . Tighten the wheel on the
spindle to prevent spin off when the Grinder is turned off .
• Never use an arbor, mandrel or any other adaptor to
convert the Die Grinder for any other application.
