SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL OPERATIONS
Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding,
Wire Brushing, Polishing Operations:
Q
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.
Q
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.
Q
Do not use accessories which are not specifically
d e s i g n e d a n d r e c o m m e n d e d b y t h e t o o l
manufacturer.
Just because the accessory can be
attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe
operation.
Q
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.
Q
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.
Q
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.
Q
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.
Q
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.
Q
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.
Q
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.
Q
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.
Q
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.
Q
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.
Q
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.
Q
Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
Q
Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution or shock.
Further safety instructions for all operations
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 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.
