must be repaired before the tool is used.
21. Have your tool repaired by a qualified person - This electric tool complies with the
relevant safety rules. Repairs should only be carried out by qualified persons, otherwise
this may result in considerable danger to the user
WARNING: When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
WARNING: If the power cable is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an
authorised service centre.
22. Power tool mains plugs must match the mains socket - Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching sockets will reduce risk of electric shock
23. If operating a power tool outside use a residual current device (RCD) - Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock
NOTE: The term "residual current device (RCD)" may be replaced by the term "ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI)" or "earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)".
WARNING: When used in Australia or New Zealand, it is recommended that this tool is
ALWAYS supplied via Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30mA
or less.
WARNING: Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power point
receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on
the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater than that specified for
the tool can result in serious injury to the user, and damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not
plug in the tool. Using a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is
harmful to the motor.
Bench Grinder Safety
• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment. When using a grinder, safety
goggles, ear defenders and dust masks should be worn
• Always use grinding wheels of the correct specification for the grinder
• Prior to use, check grinding wheels for damage. Do not use flawed, cracked or grinding
wheels with any kind of damage. Damaged wheels can spontaneously shatter causing
a hazard
• If you suspect that a wheel has degraded in storage DO NOT USE
• Ensure that grinding wheels are fitted correctly and securely prior to use. Tighten
grinding wheel lock nuts, secure bolts and check all clamps and guards
• Ensure guards are in place and working correctly prior to use
• After fitting a new grinding wheel, stand to one side of the grinder and switch 'ON'.
Let the grinder operate at full speed for approximately one minute to allow undetected
flaws or cracks to become apparent
• Keep hands clear of the grinding wheels at all times; do not reach behind or beneath
the grinding wheels
• DO NOT attempt to use this grinding tool for cutting tasks
Hobby Tool Safety
a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander, wire brush, polisher,
carving 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) 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.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) Mandrel mounted wheels, sanding drums, cutters or other accessories must be
fully inserted into the collet or chuck. If the mandrel is insufficiently held and/or the
overhang of the wheel is too long, the mounted wheel may become loose and be
ejected at high velocity.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheels 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
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 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 loss.
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 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) 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.
l) 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 tendency to roll while being cut, and may cause
the bit to bind or jump toward you.
m) 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.
