i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from

work area.

Anyone entering the work area must wear personal pro-
tective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken
accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immedi-
ate area of operation.

j) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact hid-
den wiring or its own cord.

Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make ex-
posed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give
the operator an electric shock.

k) Position the cord clear of the spinning acces-

sory.

If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and
your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning acces-
sory.

l) Never lay the power tool down until the acces-

sory 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 flamma-

ble materials.

Sparks could ignite these materials.

p) Do not use accessories that require liquid cool-

ants.

Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electro-
cution or shock.

Further safety instructions for all operations &
kickback

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotat-
ing wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinch-
ing 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 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
movement 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.

Safety instructions for all operations - Safety warn-
ings common for grinding, sanding, wire brushing,
polishing or abrasive cutting-off operations

a) This power tool is intended to function as a

sander.

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 grinding, wire brushing,

polishing or 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.

c) Do not use accessories which are not specifi-

cally designed and recommended by the tool
manufacturer.

Just because the accessory can be attached to your pow-
er 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 he 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 gog-
gles 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 res-
pirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated
by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
