Safety instructions for all operations
Safety Warnings Common for Sanding.
Operations:
• This power tool is intended to function as a sander.
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this power tool. Fai-
lure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
• Operations such as grinding, polishing, wire brus-
hing or cutting-off are not recommended to be per-
formed with this power tool. Operations for which
the power tool was not designed may create a ha-
zard and cause personal injury.
• Do not use accessories which are not specifically
designed and recommended by the tool manufactu-
rer. Just because the accessory can be attached to
your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
• The rated speed of the accessory must be at least
equal to the maximum speed marked on the pow-
er tool. Accessories running faster than their rated
speed can break and fly apart.
• The outside diameter and the thickness of your ac-
cessory must be within the capacity rating of your
power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately guarded or controlled.
• Threaded mounting of accessories must match the
grinder spindle thread. For accessories mounted by
flanges, the arbour hole of the accessory must fit the
locating diameter of the flange. Accessories that do
not match the mounting hardware of the power tool
will run out of balance , vibrate excessively and may
can use loss of control.
• Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use
inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for
chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or
excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires.
If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for da-
mage or install an undamaged accessory. After ins-
pecting and installing an accessory, position yourself
and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating
accessory and run the power tool at maximum no-
load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories
will normally break apart during this test time .
• Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear 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 per-
sonal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece
or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause
injury beyond immediate area of operation.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, when performing an operation where the cut-
14

ting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Cutting accessory contacting a ,,live' wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool ,,live'
and could give the operator an electric shock.
• 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 spin-
ning accessory.
• Never lay the power tool down until the accessory
has come to a complete stop. The spinning accesso-
ry may grab the surface and pull the power tool out
of your control.
• Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your
side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory
could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into
your body.
• 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 mate-
rials. 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
Further safety instructions for all operations
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
sanding plate or any other accessory. Pinching or
snagging ca uses rapid stalling of the rotating acces-
sory which in turn causes the uncontrolled pow-
er 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 opera-
ting 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 kick back or torque reaction
during startup. The operator can control torque re-
actions 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 pro-
pel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel's mo-
vement at the point of snagging.
