g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in
accordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
SERVICE
a. Have your power tool serviced by the manufacturer or its
authorised agent in order to avoid a safety hazard using
only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL
OPERATIONS
SAFETY WARNINGS COMMON FOR GRINDING,
SANDING, WIRE BRUSHING, POLISHING OR
ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
a. This power tool is intended to function as a grinder
or sander. 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.
b. Operations such as wire brushing, polishing or cutting-
off are not recommended to be performed with this
power tool. Operations for which the power tool was not
designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
c. 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.
d. The rated speed of the accessory must be at least
equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool.
Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break
and fly apart.
e. 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 guarded or controlled.
f.
The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or
any other accessory must properly fit the spindle of the
power tool. Accessories with arbour holes that do not match
the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of
balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
g. 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 damage or install an
undamaged accessory. After inspecting and installing
anaccessory, 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.
h. 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 work piece 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.
i.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area.
Anyone entering the work area must wear personal
protective equipment. Fragments of work piece or of a
broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond
immediate area of operation.
j.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
A cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the
operator.
k. 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.
l.
Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has
come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab
the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
m. 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.
n. 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.
o. Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
p. Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using
water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or
shock.
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 work piece, 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.
a. 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.
