Safety instructions for all
operations
Safety warnings common for grinding,
sanding, wire brushing, polishing, carving or
abrasive cutting-off operations
• This power tool is intended to function as a
grinder, sander, wire brush, polisher, carving or
cut-off tool.
• Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrati-
ons and specifications provided with this power
tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
• Do not use accessories which are not specifically
designed and recommended by the tool ma-
nufacturer. Just because the accessory can be
attached to your power tool, it does not assure
safe operation.
• The rated speed of the grinding accessories
must be at least equal to the maximum speed
marked on the power tool. Grinding 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 controlled.
• The arbour size of wheels, sanding drums or any
other accessory must properly fit the spindle or
collet of the power tool. 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.
• Mandrel mounted wheels, sanding drums, cut-
ters or other accessories must be fully inserted
into the collet or chuck. If the mandrel is insuffi-
ciently held and/or the overhang of the wheel is
too long, the mounted wheel may become loose
and be ejected at high velocity.
• Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each
use inspect the accessory such as abrasive whe-
els for chips and cracks, sanding drum for cracks,
tear or excess wear, wire brush for loose or
cracked wires. If power tool or accessory is drop-
ped, inspect for damage or install an undama-
ged 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.
• Wear personal protective equipment. Depen-
ding on application, use face shield, safety gog-
gles 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 respira-
tor must be capable of filtrating particles gene-
rated 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 could give the operator an
electric shock.
• Always hold the tool firmly in your hand(s)
during the start-up. The reaction torque of the
motor, as it accelerates to full speed, can cause
the tool to twist.
• Use clamps to support workpiece whenever
practical. Never hold a small workpiece in one
hand and the tool in the other hand while in use.
Clamping a small workpiece allows you to use
your hand(s) to control the tool. Round material
such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing have a ten-
dency to roll while being cut, and may cause the
bit to bind or jump toward you.
• Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory.
If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snag-
ged and your hand or arm may be pulled into
the spinning accessory.
• 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.
• After changing the bits or making any adjust-
ments, make sure the collet nut, chuck or any
other adjustment devices are securely tightened.
Loose adjustment devices can unexpectedly
shift, causing loss of control, loose rotating com-
ponents will be violently thrown.
• 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
