• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool to
operate the power tool.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, replace the tool. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool and accessories in accordance with these instructions. Take the working conditions and tasks
to be performed into account before use. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a serious injury.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL OPERATIONS
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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory for chips and cracks, tears or excess
wear, and loose or cracked wires. If the power tool or an accessory is dropped, inspect for damage and install
an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself away from the plane
of the rotating accessory and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute.
• Use ANSI Z87.1 rated face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear a 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.
• 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.
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, do not allow a cutting accessory to contact live wires or its
own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a live wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
will result in the operator an electric shock or even death.
• 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.
• Use clamps to secure the workpiece whenever practical. Never hold a workpiece in one hand and the tool in
the other hand while in use. Securing the 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.
• 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.
