SAFETY WARNINGS COMMON FOR
GRINDING OR ABRASIVE CUTTING-
OFF OPERATIONS
a) This power tool is intended to function as a
grinder or cut-off tool. Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations
provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury.
b) Operations such as sanding, wire brushing or
polishing 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 specifi cally
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 fl y 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) Threaded mounting of accessories must match the
grinder spindle thread. For accessories mounted
by fl anges, the arbour hole of accessory must fi t
the locating diameter of the fl ange.
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.
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 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.
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 workpiece fragments.
The eye protection must be capable of stopping fl ying
debris generated by various operations. The dust mask
or respirator must be capable of fi ltrating 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 workpiece or of a broken accessory may
fl y away and cause injury beyond immediate area of
operation.
j) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, when performing an operation where the cutting
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.
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
m) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side.
n) Regularly clean the power tool's air vents.
and specifi cations
o) Do not operate the power tool near fl ammable materials.
p) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
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.
a) Maintain a fi rm grip on the power tool and position your
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
c) Do not position your body in the area where power

has come to a complete stop.
The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull
the power tool out of your control.
Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could
snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing and
excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause
electrical hazards.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
KICKBACK AND RELATED
WARNINGS
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.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the
wheel's movement at the point of snagging.
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.

Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR
GRINDING AND ABRASIVE CUTTING-
OFF OPERATIONS

for the selected wheel.
Wheels for which the power tool was not designed
cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.

An improperly mounted wheel that projects through the
plane of the guard lip cannot be adequately protected.
