General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING: 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.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the OFF-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools
with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch ON invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool ON. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent
and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a
second.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it ON and OFF. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
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.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Grinder Safety
a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander, wire brush or cut-off tool.
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with the
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
b) Operations such as 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 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 arbor size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any other accessory must properly fit
on the spindle of your power tool. Accessories with arbor 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, wire,
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 faceshield, safety
goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and
workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. 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 the 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.
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 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 to your side. Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory may snag clothing, pulling the accessory towards your body.
n) Regularly clean the power tool's 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 & 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 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 towards 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.
