connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
4. POWER TOOL USE & CARE
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool
or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool's
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 se rviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

GRINDING TOOL SAFETY

• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
When using a grinder, safety goggles, ear defenders and
dust masks should be worn
• Do not operate a grinder without its guards in place
• Use plain or centre recessed cutting or grinding discs
of a size stated in this instruction manual. Attempting
to use any other accessory or attachment is extremely
dangerous and could lead to serious injury
• Use the correct cutting/grinding disc for the task. Stone/
metal-working discs and cutting/grinding discs must be
used for the appropriate material
• The maximum speed of the cutting/grinding disc should
always be higher than the maximum speed of the
machine to which they will be attached
• Do not use any form of spacers to make an incorrect disc
fit your machine
• Ensure that the cutting/grinding disc is fitted correctly and
securely before use. Run the machine with the disc fitted,
but no load, for 30 seconds before attempting to cut/
grind. If excessive vibration occurs, stop the machine and
correct the cause before use
• Inspect cutting/grinding discs before use. If a disc is
damaged in any way (chipped, fractured etc) DO NOT
USE. Dispose of disc and replace. Damaged discs can
spontaneously shatter
• Do not allow discs to become wet or oil soaked. If you
suspect that a disc has degraded in storage DO NOT
USE
• Do not attempt to cut or grind magnesium or any alloy
that has high magnesium content
• Do not attempt to make cuts that exceed the maximum
cutting depth of the disc
• Do not stand in line with the cutting/grinding disc when in
use
• Do not operate the spindle lock while the grinder is
running
• Beware that the machine will 'run on' for some time after
being switched off. Allow the machine to stop itself. Do
not stop the machine by holding an object against the
disc. NEVER place the grinder down until the disc has
completely stopped
• A grinding disc will gradually wear, reducing its size. If a
disc becomes too small to work with easily, replace it
