• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches
before connecting to the power supply or turning
on the tool. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
•
Always inspect the grinder before use and have any damage repaired by an authorized
service agent.
•
Make sure the disc is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
•
Keep the guard in place.
•
Use only discs having a maximum operating speed at least as high as 10,000 RPM. When
using depressed center discs, be sure to use only fiberglass reinforced discs.
•
Check the disc carefully for cracks or damage before operation. Replace cracked or dam-
aged discs immediately.
•
Be careful not to damage the spindle or either of the disc flanges. Damage to these parts
could result in disc breakage.
•
Hold the tool firmly.
•
Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation of the disc or a poorly balanced disc.
•
Use only discs designed for each specified function and purpose. Do not use cutting discs
for grinding or metal wheels on masonry.
•
Watch out for flying sparks. Hold the tool at an angle of approximately 15˚- 30˚ to the work-
piece surface.
•
It should never be necessary to force the tool. If rotational speed drops abnormally the
pressure should be released immediately. Little more than the weight of the tool should be
applied. Forcing and excessive pressure can cause dangerous disc breakage or damage
to the tool.
TOOL USE AND CARE
• Do not force the tool.
Tools do a better and safer job when used in the manner for which
they are designed. Plan your work, and use the correct tool for the job.
• Never use a tool
with a malfunctioning switch. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired by an authorized service representative
before using.
• Disconnect power
from tool and place the switch in the locked or off position before
servicing, adjusting, installing accessories or attachments, or storing. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Secure work
with clamps or a vise instead of your hand to hold work when practical. This
safety precaution allows for proper tool operation using both hands.
• Store idle tools.
When tools are not is use, store them in a dry, secure place out of the
reach of children. Inspect tools for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.
• Use only accessories that are recommended
by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on
another tool.
• Keep guards in place
and in working order
.
• Never leave tool
running unattended.
