DETAILED SAFETY REGULATIONS
Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding, Wire Brushing,
Polishing or Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:
a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander, wire
brush, 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.
b) Operations such as 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 specifically designed and
recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory
can be attached to your power too, it does not assure safe operation.
d) 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 speed can break and fly 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 guarded or controlled.
f) 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.
g) Do not use a damage 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, 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 googles 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
filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure
to high intensity noise may cause hearing loos.
i) 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.
j) Hold the 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.
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.
l) 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.
m) 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.
n) 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.
o) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks
could ignite these materials.
p) 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 accessory. Pinching or snagging
causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn causes the
uncontrolled 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 operator,
depending on direction of the wheel's movement at the point of
pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and
arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary
handle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback or torque
reaction during start-up. The operator can control torque reaction or
kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may
kickback over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move
if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite
to the wheel's movement at the point of snagging.
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 of 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 grinding surface of centre depressed wheels must be mounted
below the plane of the guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel that
projects through the plane of the guard lip cannot be adequately
protected.
c) 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 the
operator from broken wheel fragments, accidental contact with
wheel, and sparks that could ignite clothing.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) 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 binding 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
