Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use, with which reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to a power source and / or battery pack, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
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.
Power tool use and care
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.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled by the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
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.
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 tools
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. In accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool,
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.
This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander, wire brush, polisher,
carving or cut-off 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.
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.
The rated speed of the grinding accessories must be at least equal to the
maximum speed marked on the power tool. Grinding accessories running faster
than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. 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.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area.
Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury
beyond immediate area of operation.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
Always hold the tool firmly in your hand(s) during the start-up.
The reaction torque of the motor, as it accelerates to full speed, can cause the
tool to twist.
Use clamps to support workpiece whenever practical. Never hold a small
workpiece in one hand and the tool in the other hand while in use. Clamping a
small workpiece allows you to use your hand(s) to control the tool. Round
material such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing have a tendency to roll while being
cut, and may cause the bit to bind or jump toward you.
Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may
be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop.
The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your
control.
After changing the bits or making any adjustments, make sure the collet nut,

Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, sanding
band, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of
the rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced
in the direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge
of the wheel that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the
material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump
toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel’s move- ment
at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.

chuck or any other adjustment devices are securely tightened. Loose adjustment
devices can unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control, loose rotating compo-
nents will be violently thrown.
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the
spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your
body.
Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan will draw the dust
inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause
electrical hazards.
Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid
coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you
to resist kickback forces. The operator can control kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc.Avoid bouncing and
snagging the accessory. Corners, sharpedges or bouncing have a tendency to
snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
Do not attach a toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback
and loss of control.
Always feed the bit into the material in the same direction as the cutting edge is
exiting from the material (which is the same direction as the chips are thrown).
Feeding the tool in the wrong direction causes the cutting edge of the bit to climb
out of the work and pull the tool in the direction of this feed.
When using rotary files, cut-off wheels, high-speed cutters or tungsten carbide
cutters, always have the work securely clamped. These wheels will grab if they
become slightly canted in the groove, and can kickback. When a cut-off wheel

grabs, the wheel itself usually breaks. When a rotary file, high-speed cutter or
tungsten carbide cutter grabs, it may jump from the groove and you could lose
control of the tool.
Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and only for
recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of a cut-off
wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces
applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
For threaded abrasive cones and plugs use only undamaged wheel mandrels
with an unrelieved shoulder flange that are of correct size and length. Proper
mandrels will reduce the possibility of breakage.
Do not “jam” a cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make
an excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and
susceptibility to twisting or snagging of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of
kick- back or wheel breakage.
Do not position your hand in line with and behind the rotating wheel. When the
wheel, at the point of operation, is moving away from your hand, the possible
kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
When wheel is pinched, snagged or when interrupting a cut for any reason,
switch off the power tool and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel
comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut
while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and take
corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel pinching or snagging.
Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full
speed and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if
the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel pinching
and kickback. Large workpièces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports
must be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the
workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into existing walls or other blind
areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or
objects that can cause kick- back.
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even during ordinary
operation. Do not overstress the wires by applying excessive load to the brush.

Rules of Operating Speeds
The best way to determine the correct speed for work on any material is to practice
for a few minutes on a piece of scrap, even after referring to the Speed Dial Settings
tables. You can quickly learn that a slower or faster speed is more effective just by
observing what happens when you make a pass or two at different speeds.
When working with a scrap piece of plastic, start at a slow rate of speed and increase
the speed until you observe whether the plastic is melting at the point of contact;
reduce the speed slightly to get optimum working speed without melting the
workpiece.
Certain materials, some plastics for example, require a relatively slow speed
because at high speed the friction of the tool generates heat and causes the plastic
to melt.
Slow speed operation (15,000 RPM or less) is usually best for polishing operations
using the felt polishing accessories, delicate wood carving and fragile model parts.
All brush applications require lower speeds to avoid wire discharge from the holder.
Allow the tool to do the work for you when using lower speed settings.
Higher speeds are better for drilling, carving, cutting, routing, shaping, and cutting
dadoes or rabbets in wood. Hardwoods, metals and glass also require high speed
operation.
