Use the air tool, accessories, and tool bits, etc.,
in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of air
tool, taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed.
Use of the air tool
for operations different from those intended could re-
sult in a hazardous situation.
Service
Have your air tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the air tool is main-
tained.
2 SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
FOR AIR ANGLE GRINDERS
Avoid contact with a live wire.
The
tool is not insulated and contact with
a live wire may result in electric shock.
Use suitable detectors to find hidden utility lines
or call the local utility company for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire or electrical
shock. Damaging a gas line can result in an explosion.
Penetrating a water pipe will cause property damage
or an electrical shock.
Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drill-
ing, and other construction ac-
tivities contains chemicals known to cause can-
cer, 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.
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 fil-
ter out microscopic particles.
Safety instructions for all operations
Safety warnings that are common for grinding,
sanding, wire brushing, polishing, or abrasive
cutting off operations
This air tool is intended to function as a grinder,
sander, wire brush, polisher, or cut-off tool.
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustra-
tions, and specifications provided with this air
tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in serious injury.
Operations such as grinding, sanding, wire
brushing, polishing, or cutting-off are not recom-
mended to be performed with this air tool.
Oper-
ations for which the air tool was not designed may cre-
ate a hazard and cause personal injury.
Do not use accessories that are not specifically
designed and recommended by the tool manufac-
turer.
Just because the accessory can be attached to
your air tool, it does not assure safe operation.
The rated speed of the accessory
must be at least equal to the maxi-
mum speed marked on the air tool.
Accessories running faster than their
rated speed can fly apart.
The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of
your air tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately guarded or controlled.
The arbor size of wheels, flanges, backing pads,
or any other accessory, must properly fit the
spindle of the air tool.
Accessories with arbor holes
that do not match the mounting hardware of the air
tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively, and
may cause loss of control.
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each
use, inspect the accessory, such as the abrasive
wheels for chips and cracks, the backing pad for
cracks, tear, or excess wear, and the wire brush
for loose or cracked wires.
If the air tool or ac-
cessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install
an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and
installing an accessory, position yourself and by-
standers away from the plane of the rotating ac-
cessory and run the air tool at maximum no-load
speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories will
normally break apart during this test time.
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending
on application, use face shield, safety goggles,
or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust
mask, hearing protectors, gloves, and shop
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 capa-
ble of filtering particles generated by your operation.
Prolonged exposure to high-intensity noise may cause
hearing loss.
