GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS cont.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term power tool in the warnings refers to your electric (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. 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.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
4
WARNING:
Read all safety warnings and instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
! PERSONAL SAFETY
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to 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.
4. 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.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6. 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.
7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
7. Double insulated tools are equipped
with a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do
not change the plug in any way.
Cover of
Grounded
Outlet Box
WARNING:
Do not permit fingers
to touch the terminals of plug when
installing or removing the plug from
the outlet.
!
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 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.
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 tools
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 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.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. 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.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the
risk of electric shock.

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 INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL OPERATIONS cont.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
16. Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid
coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
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 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.
1. Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow
you to resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum
control over kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The operator can control
torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
2. Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over
your hand.
3. Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback
occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the
point of snagging.
4. Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and
snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag
the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
5. Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade.
Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL OPERATIONS
Safety Warnings Common for Grinding Operations:
1. This power tool is intended to function as a grinding 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.
2. Operations such as sanding, wire brushing or 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.
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 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.
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
guarded or controlled.
6. Threaded mounting of accessories must match the GRINDER spindle thread.
For accessories mounted by FLANGES, the arbor 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR GRINDING OPERATIONS
Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding Operations:
1. Use only disc types that are recommended for your grinder and the specific
guard designed for the selected disc. Discs for which the grinder was not designed for
cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
2. The grinding surface of center depressed discs must be mounted below the
plane of the guard lip. An improperly mounted disc that projects through the plane
of the guard lip cannot be adequately protected.
3. The guard must be securely attached to the grinder and positioned for maximum
safety, so the least amount of disc is exposed towards the operator.
The guard helps to protect the operator from broken disc fragments, accidental contact
with disc and sparks that could ignite clothing.
4. Grinding discs must be used only for recommended applications.
5. Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct size and shape for your
selected discs. Proper disc flanges support the disc thus reducing the possibility of disc
breakage.
6. Do not use worn down discs from larger grinders. A disc intended for a larger
grinder is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller grinder and may burst.
