Power Tool Use and Care
1.
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.
2.
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.
3.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4.
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.
5.
Maintain power tools. 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.
6.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7.
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.
Service
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.
Safety Warnings Common For
Grinding, Sanding, Wire Brushing,
Or Polishing Operations:
1.
This power tool is intended to function as a
grinder, sander, wire brush, or polisher.
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.
2.
Operations such as cutting-off are not
recommended to be performed with
this power tool.
Operations for which the
power tool was not designed may create
a hazard and cause personal injury.
3.
Do not use accessories which are not
specifically designed and recommended
by the tool manufacturer.
Just because the
accessory can be attached to your power
tool, it does not assure safe operation.
4.
The RATED SPEED of the accessories must be at
least equal to the operating speed setting marked
on the power tool.
Accessories running faster
than their RATED SPEED can break and fly apart.
5.
The outside diameter and the thickness of
your accessory must be within the capacity
rating of your power tool.
Incorrectly sized
accessories cannot be adequately controlled.
6.
The arbour size of wheels, sanding drums
or any other accessory must properly fit the
spindle or collet of the power tool.
Accessories
that do not match the mounting hardware of
the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate
excessively and may cause loss of control.
7.
Mandrel MOUNTED WHEELS, sanding drums,
cutters or other accessories must be fully
inserted into the collet or chuck.
If the mandrel
is insufficiently held and/or the overhang of the
wheel is too long, the MOUNTED WHEEL may
become loose and be ejected at high velocity.
8.
Do not use a damaged accessory.
Before each
use inspect the accessory such as abrasive
wheels for chips and cracks, sanding drum for
cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for loose
or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory
is dropped, inspect for damage or install an
undamaged accessory. After inspecting and
installing an accessory, position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of the rotating
accessory and run the power tool at maximum no-
load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories
will normally break apart during this test time.
9.
Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending
on application, use face shield, safety goggles
or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust
mask, hearing protectors, gloves and workshop
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 capable of filtrating particles generated
by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
