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.
Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution or shock.
Special safety instructions for grinding
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.
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.
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.
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 the 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.
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
reactions or kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
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.
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 or
kickback.
Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving
blade or toothed saw blade.
Such blades create frequent kickback
and loss of control.
Additional safety instructions
Use only extension cables permitted
for outdoor use.
It is not recommended to sand lead paint.
Lead paint should be removed by
a specialist only.
Do not grind or cut materials which
release hazardous substances (e.g.
asbestos). Take precautions if
hazardous, combustible or explosive
dust is likely to occur. Wear protective
dust mask.
Use dust extraction system.
DAMAGE TO PROPERTY!
The mains voltage and the voltage
