General power tool safety warnings

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and

all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions may result in electric shock, re and/or

serious injury.

Save all warnings and instruc-

tions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your

mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated

(cordless) power tool.

Grinder safety warnings

Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding,

Wire Brushing, or Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:

1. This power tool is intended to function as a

grinder, sander, wire brush or cut-off tool.

Read all safety warnings, instructions, illus-

trations and specications provided with this

power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed

below may result in electric shock, re and/or

serious injury.

2. Operations such as polishing are not rec-

ommended to be performed with this power

tool. Operations for which the power tool was not

designed may create a hazard and cause per-

sonal injury.

3. Do not use accessories which are not speci-

cally 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 y 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 acces-

sories mounted by anges, the arbour hole of

the accessory must t the locating diameter

of the ange. 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 acces-

sory 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 acces-

sories 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 appro-

priate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors,

gloves and workshop apron capable of stop-

ping small abrasive or workpiece fragments.

The eye protection must be capable of stopping

ying debris generated by various operations.

The dust mask or respirator must be capable of

ltrating 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 y 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 hid-

den 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.

11. 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 accessory.

12. 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.

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 ammable

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 acces-

sory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the

rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncon-

trolled 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
