SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

FOR ALL OPERATIONS:

Safety Warnings Common for Grinding or 

Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:

a)  This power tool is intended to function as 

a grinder 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.

b)  Operations such as sanding, wire brushing, 

polishing 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.

c)  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.

d)  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.

e)  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.

f)   Threaded mounting of accessories must 

match the grinder spindle thread. For 

accessories mounted by flanges, the arbour 

hole of the accessory must fit the locating 

diameter of the flange. 

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.

g)  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. 

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.

h)  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.

i)   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.

j)   Hold the 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.

k)  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.

l)   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.

m)  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.

n)  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.

o)  Do not operate the power tool near 

flammable materials.

 Sparks could ignite these 

materials.

p)  Do not use accessories that require liquid 

coolants. 

Using water or other liquid coolants may 

result in electrocution or shock.

q)  Your hand must hold on the handle when you 

are working.

FURTHER SAFETY 

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL 

OPERATIONS

Kickback and Related Warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged 

rotating wheel, backing pad, 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 at the point of the 

binding.

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
