WARNING!

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, 

drilling, and other construction activities contains 

chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other 

reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals 

are:

• Le

ad from lead-based paints.

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other 

  masonry products.

• Arsenic and chromium from chemicallytreated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how 

often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to 

these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work 

with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks 

that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

1. ALWAYS USE PROPER GUARD WITH GRINDING

    WHEEL.

 A guard protects operator from broken wheel

    fragments. When using grinding wheel attachments, 

    the guard must always be attached to the tool and 

    positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount of 

    wheel is exposed from the side the tool is being

    operated.

2. ACCESSORIES MUST BE RATED FOR AT LEAST

    THE SPEED RECOMMENDED ON THE TOOL 

    WARNING LABEL.

 Wheels and other accessories 

    running over rated speed can fly apart and cause 

    injury. Grinding wheels or any other accessory must 

    have a maximum safe operating speed greater than 

    the “no load speed” marked on the tool’s nameplate.

3. HOLD TOOL BY INSULATED GRIPPING 

    SURFACES WHEN PERFORMING AN OPERATION 

    WHERE THE CUTTING TOOLS MAY CONTACT 

    HIDDEN WIRING OR ITS OWN CORD. 

Contact with a

    “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool 

    “live” and shock the operator.

4. BEFORE USING A GRINDER OR INSTALLING A 

    NEW WHEEL, INSPECT THE GRINDING WHEEL 

    FOR CHIPS AND CRACKS. 

Remove bad wheels 

    immediately. Run the tool at no load for one minute, 

    holding the tool in the direction away from people. 

    Wheels with flaws will normally break apart during this 

    time.

5. CAREFULLY HANDLE BOTH THE TOOL AND  

    INDIVIDUAL GRINDING WHEELS TO AVOID

    CHIPPING OR CRACKING. 

Install a new wheel if tool 

    is dropped while grinding. Do not use a wheel that may 

    be damaged. Fragments from a wheel that bursts 

    during operation will fly away at great velocity possibly 

    striking you or bystanders.

6. DO NOT USE GRINDING WHEEL THAT IS LARGER

    THAN THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED SIZE FOR 

    YOUR TOOL, OR WORN DOWN DAMAGED 

    WHEELS FROM LARGER GRINDERS. 

Wheels 

    intended for large angle sander/grinders are not 

    suitable for the high speed of a small angle

    sander/grinder, these wheels may easily burst and the

    fragments strike you or bystanders.

7. DO NOT USE DEPRESSED HUB GRINDING  

    WHEELS FOR CUT-OFF OPERATIONS.
8. DO NOT USE THIS TOOL WITH “WOODCARVING” 

    BLADE. 

Such blades create frequent kick-back and 

    loss of control.

9. WEAR PROPER APPAREL WHILE USING A

    SANDER/GRINDER. 

Face shield or at least safety 

    goggles, dust mask, leather gloves and shop apron 

    capable of stopping small wheel or workpiece 

    fragments.

10. POSITION THE CORD CLEAR OF THE SPINNING

      GRINDING WHEEL OR ANY OTHER SANDING 

      ACCESSORY. 

Do not wrap the cord around your arm

      or wrist. If you lose control and have the cord wrapped

      around your arm or wrist it may entrap you and cause

      injury.

11. AVOID BOUNCING AND SNAGGING THE WHEEL,

      ESPECIALLY WHEN WORKING CORNERS, SHARP

      EDGES ETC. 

This can cause loss of control and 

      kick-back.

12. REGULARILY CLEAN THE TOOL’S AIR VENTS BY

      COMPRESSED AIR. 

Excessive accumulation of 

      powdered metal inside the motor housing may cause

      electrical failures.

13. DO NOT GRIND OR SAND NEAR FLAMMABLE 

      MATERIALS. 

Sparks from the wheel could ignite these

      materials.

14. THIS TOOL CAN BE CONVERTED TO A SANDER. 

      

When grinding is resumed the proper guard and wheel

      flanges MUST be reinstalled before proceeding with 

      grinding. The guard must always be attached to the 

      tool and positioned for maximum safety, so the least 

      amount of wheel is exposed from the side the tool is 

      being operated. The grinding wheel guard cannot be

      used for most sanding operations or for wire brushing.

15. WHEN SANDING, DO NOT USE OVERSIZED

      SANDING DISC. 

Larger sanding disc will extend

      beyond the sanding pad causing snagging, tearing of 

      the disc or kick-back. Extra paper extending beyond 

      the sanding pad can also cause serious lacerations.

16. WHEN SANDING CHEMICALLY PRESSURE

      TREATED LUMBER, PAINT THAT MAY BE LEAD 

      BASED, OR ANY OTHER MATERIALS THAT MAY 

      CONTAIN CARCINOGENS, USE SPECIAL

      PRECAUTIONS. 

A suitable breathing respirator must 

      be worn by all personal entering the work area. Work 

      area should be sealed by plastic sheeting and persons 

      not protected should be kept out until work area is 

      thoroughly cleaned.

17. DIRECT THE DISCHARGE OF THE SPINNING WIRE

      BRUSH AWAY FROM YOU. 

Small particles and tiny 

      wire fragments may be discharged at high velocity 

      during the “cleaning” action with these brushes and 

      may become imbedded in your skin.
