The declared vibration total value has been measured in accordance with a standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another. The declared vibration total value may also
be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING: The vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the
declared total value depending on the ways in which the tool is used. There is the need to identify
safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual
conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool
is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).
Carefully read and understand this manual and any label attached to the tool before use. Keep these
instructions with the product for future reference. Ensure all persons who use this product are fully
acquainted with this manual.
Even when used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors. Use with
caution. If you are at all unsure of the correct and safe manner in which to use this tool, do not
attempt to use it.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING: 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.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) 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.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock
.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment
such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the OFF-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools
with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch ON invites
accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool ON. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away
from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) 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.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent
and ignore tool safety principles.
A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a
second.
4) Power tool use and care
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d) 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.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking 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
.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
5) Service
a) 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.
Bench Grinder Safety
• Prior to use, check grinding or wire brush wheels. Do not use mis-shaped, cracked, heavily
worn or damaged wheels. Such wheels are unsafe and cause operator injury
• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
When using a grinder, safety
goggles, ear defenders and dust masks should be worn
• Always use grinding or wire brush wheels specifically designed or the correct specification
for the grinder.
Ensure the maximum diameter is not exceeded, the bore fitting is the correct
exact size and the thickness of the wheel is compatible
• Spark arrestors must be frequently adjusted. As the wheel wears keep the distance between
the wheel and arrestor as close as possible, no greater than 2mm
• Do not attempt to use a bench grinder that isn’t securely fastened.
The grinder should be
bolted to a work surface or securely clamped if it cannot be permanently attached
• Combined or dual bench grinders should be fully assembled with both sides fitted with
wheels.
Do not attempt to use such a grinder with only one wheel installe
d
• Do not exceed the duty cycle of the grinder.
Only use the grinder for the maximum stated time
and always allow the required switched-off cooling period
• Do not exceed the maximum wear of the wheel stated by the wheel manufacturer. This
may be physical size reduction or, in some instances, a maximum number of hours of use
• Ensure wheels are stored according to the wheel manufacturer’s instructions. If you suspect
that a wheel has degraded in storage DO NOT USE
• Ensure that grinding wheels are fitted correctly and securely prior to use. Tighten grinding
wheel lock nuts, secure bolts and check all clamps and guards
• After fitting a new grinding wheel, stand to one side of the grinder and switch ‘ON’.
Let the
grinder operate at full speed for approximately one minute to allow undetected flaws or cracks to
become apparent especially if the first use of a wheel
• Keep fingers clear of the grinding wheels at all times.
Do not work with very small
workpieces that could cause your fingers to contact the grinder or wire brush wheel
• DO NOT attempt to use a grinding wheel for a cut off operation
