d) 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.

e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or

toothed saw blade.

Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of

control.

SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR

GRINDING AND ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF

OPERATIONS

a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for

your power tool and the specific guard designed

for the selected wheel.

Wheels for which the power tool was not designed

cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.

b) The guard must be securely attached to the power

tool and positioned for maximum safety, so the

least amount of wheel is exposed towards the

operator.

The guard helps to protect operator from broken

wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel.

c) Wheels must be used only for recommended

applications. For example: do not grind with the

side of cut-off wheel.

Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral

grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may

cause them to shatter.

d) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of

correct size and shape for your selected wheel.

Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus

reducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges

for cut-off wheels may be different from grinding

wheel flanges.

e) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power

tools.

Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable

for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may

burst.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC

FOR ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS

a) Do not “jam” the 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 blinding of the wheel

in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel

breakage.

b) Do not position your body in line with and behind

the rotating wheel.

When the wheel, at the point of operation, is moving

away from your body, the possible kickback may

propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly

at you.

c) When wheel is binding 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 binding.

d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the

workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and

carefully reenter the cut.

The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the

power tool is restarted in the workpiece.

e) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to

minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback.

Large workpieces 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.

f) 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 kickback.

PRECAUTIONS ON USING DISC GRINDER

1. Never operate these power tools without Wheel

Guards.

2. Check that speed marked on the wheel is equal to

or greater than the rated speed of the grinder.

Use only depressed center wheels rated at 80m/s

or more.

3. Ensure that the wheel dimensions are compatible

with the grinder and that the wheel fits the spindle.

4. Abrasive wheels shall be stored and handled with

care in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.

5. Inspect the depressed center wheel before use, do

not use chipped, cracked or otherwise defective

products.

6. Always hold the body handle and side handle of

the power tool firmly. Otherwise the counterforce

produced may result in inaccurate and even

dangerous operation.

7. Do not use cutting-off wheels for side grinding.

8. Do not use of separate reducing bushings or adapters

to adapt large hole abrasive wheels.

9. The wheel continues to rotate after the tool is

switched off.
