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.
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
the battery pack 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. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tools
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.
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 mainta
Additional Safety Rules For Bench Grinders
• Always use proper guard with grinding wheel. A guard
protects operator from broken wheel fragments.
• Accessories must be rated for at least the speed
recommended on the tool warning label.Wheels and
other accessories running over the rated speed can fly
apart and cause injury.
• Before using, inspect recommended accessory for
cracks or flaws. If such a crack or flaw is evident, discard
the accessory. DO NOT USE A GRINDING WHEEL
THAT IS CRACKED OR FLAWED IN ANY WAY.
• When starting the tool, let it run for one minute. Never
start the tool with a person in line with the wheel. This
includes the operator.
• Do not grind on the sides of grinding wheels unless they
are specifically designed for that purpose.
• Do not overtighten wheel clamp nut. This may crack the
grinding wheel.
• Clean the cavity around the grinding wheel periodically.
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:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and arsenic and chromium from
chemically-treated lumber. (CCA)
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.
• Wear protective glasses;
• Do not use damaged or unshaped wheels;
• The adjustment of the spark arrestor shall be made
frequently, so as to compensate the wear of the wheel,
keeping the distance between the guard and the wheel
as small as possible, but in any case not greater than
2mm;
