(original instructions)
e. 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.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, 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.
5. Service
a. 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.

Additional power tool safety warnings
Warning! Additional safety warnings Common
for Grinding, Sanding, Wire Brushing or Abrasive
Cutting-Off Operations:
● This power tool is intended to function as a grinder,
sander, wire brush, polisher or cut-off 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.
● Operations for which the power tool was not designed
may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
● 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.
● 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.
● 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.
● 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.
● 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 and run the
power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories will normally break apart during
thistest time.
● 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 filtering
particles generated by your operation. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
● 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.
● Hold 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 shock
the operator.
● Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the
workpiece by hand or against your body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
● 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.
● 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.
● 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.
● 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.
● Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
● Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
Note: The above warning does not apply for power tools
specifically designed for use with a liquid system.
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory.
