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 hear-
ing loss.
•
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.
•
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact hid-
den wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire will also
make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live”
and could give the operator an electric shock.
•
Never lay the power tool down until the ac-
cessory has come to a complete stop.
The
spinning accessory may grab the surface and
pull the power tool out of your control.
•
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.
•
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.
•
Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
•
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 acces-
sory’s rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or
pinched by the workpiece, 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.
•
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 kick-
back forces, if proper precautions are taken.
•
Never place your hand near the rotating acces-

•
This power tool is intended to function as a
grinder, sander, wire brushing or cut-off tool.
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illus-
trations and specifications provided with this
power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or se
-
rious injury
.
•
Operations such as polishing are not recom-
mended to be performed with this power tool.
Operations for which the power tool was not de-
signed may create a hazard and cause personal
injury.
•
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.
•
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.
•
The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating
of your power tool.
Incorrectly sized accesso-
ries cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
•
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before
each use inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, back-
ing 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.
•
Wear personal protective equipment. De-
pending on application, use face shield, safe-
ty goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate,
wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves
service
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 burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be eject-
ed 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.
• 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.
•Threaded mounting of accessories must match
the grinder spindle thread. For accessories
mounted by flanges, the arbour hole of the
accessory must fit the locating diameter of the
flange. Accessories that do not match the mount-
ing hardware of the power tool will run out of
balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss
of control.
