and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if
damaged, have repaired by authorized service facility. Inspect
extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep
handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
• DISCONNECT OR LOCK OFF TOOLS when not in use, before
servicing, and when changing accessories, such as blades, bits,
cutters.
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of
checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed
from tool before turning it on.
• AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don't carry tool with finger
on switch. Be sure switch is off when plugging in.
• EXTENSION CORDS. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have
3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept
the tool's plug. Replace or repair damaged cords. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord,
be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table
shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage.
The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

• STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense.
Do not operate tool when you are tired.
• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a
guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked
to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction
manual. Have defective switches replaced by authorized service
center. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.
Additional Safety Instructions for
Grinders
• ALWAYS USE GUARDS AND EYE SHIELDS. WHEN GRIN-
DING, ALWAYS KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE.
• Use only grinding wheels having a maximum operating speed at
least high as "No Load RPM" marked on the tool's nameplate.
• Before using, inspect recommended accessory for cracks or flaws.
If such a crack or flaw is evident, discard the accessory. DO NOT
USE A GRINDING WHEEL THAT IS CRACKED OR FLAWED IN
ANY WAY.
• When starting the tool, let it run for one minute. Never start the
tool with a person in line with the wheel. This includes the operator.
• Do not grind on the sides of grinding wheels unless they are
specifically designed for that purpose.
• Do not overtighten wheel clamp nut. This may crack the grinding
wheel.
• Clean the cavity around the grinding wheel periodically.
• CAUTION: Some wood contains preservatives such as copper
chromium arsenate (CCA) which can be toxic. When sanding
these materials extra care should be taken to avoid inhalation and
minimize skin contact.
