SAFETY

L='wAr.J.G
I

Tool service must be performed only by qualified
personnel Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel could result in risk of injury.

Always wear safety goggles with side shields or a
face mask when using the angle grinder attachment.
High speed grinding and sanding will throw hot
sparks and dust particles that could cause serious
injury to your eyes.

When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
instructions may create a dsk of electric shock or injury.
SPECIFIC

ATTACHMENT

Always wear hearing protection
grinder attachment.

SAFETY RULES

when using the angle

Always use appropriate dust mask when using the
angle grinder attachment.

Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a
"live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live"
and shock the operator.

Use ONLY grinding wheels and sanding discs rated
for speeds greater than 18,000 RPM, as the angle
grinder attachment runs st speeds from 12,000 18,000 RPM.

Always make sure the work surface is free from nails
and other foreign objects, Cutting into a nail can cause
the bit and the tool to jump and damage t_e bit.

Inspect the grinding wheel before each use to make
sure it is tightly fastened and free from cracks or any
other damages.

Never hold the workpiece in one hand and the tool in
the other hand when in use. Never place the hands
near or below the cutting surface. Clamping the
mateda[ and guiding the tool with both hands is much
safer,

Rotate the guard to a position where it will protect the
operator from sparks and dust. The guard should be
positioned immediately in front of the side handle to
protect the operator's hand.

Never lay workpiece on hard surfaces like concrete,
stone, etc. Protruding cutting bit may cause tool to jump.

Do not over tighten the nut holding the grinding
wheel in place. Excessive tightening may cause the
grinding wheel to crack and possibly shatter dudng
operation.

Always wear safety goggles, hearing protection and
dust mask. Use only in well ventilated area. Using
personal safety devices and working in a safe
environment reduces risk of injury.

Do not clamp the angle grinder attachment in a vice
or usa as a fixed grinder.
Hold the angle grinder attachment securely with two
hands at ell times while it is running.

After changing the bits or making adjustments, make
sure the collet nut end any other adjustment devices
are securely tightened. Loose adjustment devices will
be violently thrown.

Never turn the motor switch ON with the grinding
wheel or sanding disc touching the work surface.
FLEXIBLE

Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp bits must be
handled with care, Damaged bits can snap during use.
Dull bits require more force to push the tool, possibly
causing the bit to break.

SHAFT SAFETY

When using the flexible shaft accessory, always
hang the motor unit on a hook using the hanging loop
at the top of the motor housing.

Never touch the bit during or Immediately after use.
After use the bit is too hot to be touched by hare hands.

Always use safety glasses,
dust mask.

This cutting tool is double insulated to protect you from
el_l
shock,
WARNIN

N

Double Insulated tools are equipped with a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug
will fit Into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug, If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install a polarized outleL Do not alter the plug In any
way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three
wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply
system.
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.
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 to carry
the tool or pull the plug from the outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords
increase the dsk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
outdoor extension cord marked '_N-A" or "W". These
cords are rated for outdoor use arm reduce the risk of
• e]ecfric shock,

I_

WARNING I

Always make sure the receptacle is polarized. If you
are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the
receptacle.

Make sure your extension

cord is in good condition.

When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current the tool will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating, The table below shows
the correct size to use according to cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number the
heavier the cord.
Be sure your extension cord is propedy wired and in
good condition. Always replace e damaged extension
cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before
using it. Protect your extension cord from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your power tools.
This circuit must not be loss than 14 gauge wir_nd
should be protected with either a 15 Ampere time delay
fuse or circuit breaker. Before connecting the power tool
to the power source, make sure the switch is in the OFF
position and the power source is the same as indicated
on the nameplate. Running at lower voltage will damage
the motor.

CUTTING

Before attempting to work on an actual project, take the
time to make a few practice cuts with your Cutting Tool
Use some scraps of material that are the same material
as used in your actual project.
1.

Draw a pattern similar to your first project on a scrap
piece of matedaL

You have read the instructions on the following
page entitled "CUTTING OUTLET OPENINGS IN
DRYWALL".

CUTTING TIPS

I_

WARNING I
The rotating cuffing action of the bit will cause s slight
pull to the left when cutting. Natural variations in the
structure of wood will cause the bit to "wander'. This
tendency will be magnified when applying too much
pressure to the bit. Slower cuffing gives you better
control. Excessive pressure or fast cutting will increase
bit temperature and shorten the life of the bit.

Before turning the tool switch ON, make sure you
hold the tool firmly with both hands. Starting
torque will cause the tool to twist.

When cutting a hole in a vertical surface, avoid ending
the cut at the bottom of the hole. Always start and end
the cut at the "top" so the cut-out part wiJl not drop onto
the rotating bit. Always turn the tool OFF before removing
it from the workpiece.

IA DANGERI
Do not attempt to use this tool to make cut-outs
around any fixture or opening which has live
electrical wires or on any wail which may have
electrical wiring behind it. If a live wire Is contacted,
the bit could conduct the electric current to the tool,
creating an electrocution hazard for the operator.
Turn OFf: breakers or remove fuses to disconnect
the electric circuit in the area of work. Always hold
the tool by its insulated housing when working in
areas where there is a possibility of contacting
electric wires. Always wear eye protection when
operating this tool.
1.

Before installing drywall,
push the electrical wires to
the back of the box as far as possible so they will not
be cut by the bit when cutting the opening.

2.

Before fastening the de.vail sheet over the electrical
box, mark the sheet as close as possible to the
centre of the box opening. Mark should be on the
side of the drywalI facing you.

3.

When fastening the drywall in place, do not place
nails or screws closer than 12" from the box. This wilt
prevent the drywall from becoming deformed under
pressure.

4.

Install cutting bit and fi'eahand cutting guide as
outlined on Pages 11 & 12 of this owner's manual.
Adjust depth of cut so the bit will protrude 1/a" beyond
the thickness of the drywall

7.

Pull the bit out far enough to slip it over the edge of
the box. Once the bit is outside the box, push it back
to full depth beside the outside edge of the box.

8.

Move the tool upward while applying slight pressure
toward the centre of the box. When you feel the bit
reach the top dght hand comer of the box. move the
tool to the left while applying slight pressure
downward toward the centre of the box.

Continue moving the tool around the box in a counter
clockwise direction while maintaining slight pressure
toward the centre of the box. When the box cut-out is
complete, turn the tool OFF and remove it from the
cut-out.

10. Completed electrical box cut-out will be accurately
and neatly cut (see Fig. 9).

INTERNAL

CLEANING

It has been found that electric tools are subjected to
accelerated wear and possible premature failure when
they are used on fibraglass boats and sports cars,
wallboard, spackling compounds or plaster. The chips
and grindings fi'om these materials are highly abrasive to
electric tool parts such as bearings, brushes,
commutators, etc. During any use on these materials it is
extremely important that the tool is cleaned frequentJy by
blowing out wit_ a compressed air jet.

_[____DANGER J
It is critical'that you wear safety goggles or safety
glasses with side shields and a dust mask while
blowing dust out of the Cutting Tool with a
compressed air jet. Failure to take these safety
precautions could result in permanent eye or lung
damage.
