a) This power tool is intended to function as
a grinder or cut-off tool. Read all safety
warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifi cations provided with this power
tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fi re and/or
serious injury.
b) Operations such as sanding,
wire brushing, 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.
c) Do not use accessories which are not
specifi 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.
d) The RATED SPEED of the accessories
must be at least equal to the operating
speed setting marked on the power tool.
Accessories running faster than their RATED
SPEED can break and fl y apart.
e) 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 controlled.
f)
Threaded mounting of accessories must
match the GRINDER spindle thread.
For accessories mounted by Flanges,
the arbor hole of the accessory must
fi t 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.

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.
h) 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 fl ying debris
generated by various operations. The
dust mask or respirator must be capable
of fi ltrating particles generated by your
operation. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
i)
Keep bystanders a safe distance away

work area must wear personal protective
equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a
broken accessory may fl y away and cause
injury beyond immediate area of operation.
j)
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live"
wire will also make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock.
k) 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.
