IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
2
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
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.
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.
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.
Only use safety equipment that has been approved by an appropriate standards agency. Unapproved
safety equipment may not provide adequate protection. Eye protection must be ANSI-approved and
breathing protection must be NIOSHapproved for the specific hazards in the work area.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
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.
This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander or wire brushing tool. 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.
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.
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.
Use the power tool and accessories 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.
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.
The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power
tool. Accessories running faster than their RATED SPEED can break and fly apart.
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for
chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires.
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 guarded or controlled.
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 work piece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying
debris generated by various operations.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal
protective equipment.
