age supplied is the same as that one specified
on the nameplate of the tool. To use a not
specified voltage may cause a serious injury to
the user as well as damage the tool.
TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
tool for the application. The correct tool will
do the job better and more safely at the rate
that it was designed to work at.
Do not use tools if switch does not turn it on or
off. Any tool that cannot be controlled whith
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing ac-
cessories or storing the tool. This preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of accidental
starting of the tool.
When the power tool is not in use, store it out
of the reach of children, and do not allow in-
dividuals who are not familiar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate it. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands on untrained
users.
Maintain the power tool. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, broken parts,
and any other condition that may affect the
operation of the power tool. If it is damaged,
have it repaired before using. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Check for misalignment or bonding of moving
parts, breakage parts, and any other condition
that may affect the tools operation. If you find
a damaged tool, take it to service before use it.
Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer of your model. Suitable ac-
cessories for one tool, may become hazardous
when are used on another tool.
Keep cutting tools, sharpened and clean. Cut-
ting tools in good condition with sharpened
edges, are less likely to stuck in workpieces or
easier to control.
Is recommendable to use a safety device suit-
able, such a thermal and diferential switch
when you are using an electric equipment.
SERVICE
Tool service must be perfomed only by quali-
fied repair personnel. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel could re-
sult in a risk of injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
ANGLE GRINDERS
Hold the machine by the isolated rubber parts
when you are operating where the cutting
machine may be in contact with a hide wiring
installation or its own cable. Contact with a
'live' wire can expose metal parts of the ma-
chine 'alive' and give you an electric shock.
Always use an adequate blade guard protec-
tion. This guard provides protection to the
user of the pieces that can be detached of the
abrasive blade.
The abrasive discs should be used at the speed
indicated on the warning machine label. Oth-
erwise the discs or accessories that run on a dif-
ferent speed range can fly and cause injuries.
Remove all adjusting keys or wrenches before
turning the power tool 'on'. A wrench or a key
that is left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury. Never
leave the machine locked on the on position.
Before to connect to the power supply, be sure
that the switch is in the off position.
When start the machine leaves it run a few
minutes without load before to use it on a
work piece. Watch the vibration or undulation
it may indicate you a poor installation.
CUTTING PROCEDURES
When operating the grinder, avoid the abra-
sive disc to bend or break. If this happens, stop
the machine and renew the disc.
Don't use damaged discs.
Don't use worn discs. Worned discs can cause
a disc explosion and cause serious personal in-
jury. A depressed center abrasive disc must not
be used if worn below 3 inches of diameter.
Use clamps or other practical means to support
and secure the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the workpiece in your hand or against
your body is unstable, and may lead to loss of
control.
Keep your hands away of the motion parts.
Always use goggles and dust mask when you
are grinding, specially when grind over your
head. Be careful with the sparks detached of
the disc when work. Hold the grinder such way
that the sparks fly away of you, other persons
or flammable materials.
Don't touch the work piece immediately after
of the operation. Could be very hot and can
cause hurting.
