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. 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
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
WARNING: Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power point
receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on
the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater than that specified for
the tool can result in serious injury to the user, and damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not
plug in the tool. Using a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is
harmful to the motor.
Hobby Tool Safety
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) 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.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, sanding drum 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 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 workpiece 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. 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) 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.
l) Use clamps to support workpiece whenever practical. Never hold a small workpiece
in one hand and the tool in the other hand while in use. Clamping a small 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 toward you.
m) 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.
n) 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.
o) After changing the bits or making any adjustments, make sure the collet nut, chuck
or any other adjustment devices are securely tightened. Loose adjustment devices
can unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control, loose rotating components will be
violently thrown.

p) 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.
q) 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.
r) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
s) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid
coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
t) Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a capacity of 5 Amps at least.
Kickback Safety
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, sanding band, 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. 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 firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow
you to resist kickback forces. The operator can control kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
b) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges 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.
c) Do not attach a toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of
control.
d) Always feed the bit into the material in the same direction as the cutting edge is
exiting from the material (which is the same direction as the chips are thrown).
Feeding the tool in the wrong direction causes the cutting edge of the bit to climb out
of the work and pull the tool in the direction of this feed.
e) When using rotary files, cut-off wheels, high-speed cutters or tungsten carbide
cutters, always have the work securely clamped. These wheels will grab if they
become slightly canted in the groove, and can kickback. When a cut-off wheel grabs,
the wheel itself usually breaks. When a rotary file, high-speed cutter or tungsten
carbide cutter grabs, it may jump from the groove and you could lose control of the
tool.
Safety for Grinding and Abrasive
Cutting-off Operations
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and only for
recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of a cut-off
wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces
applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
b) For threaded abrasive cones and plugs use only undamaged wheel mandrels with an
unrelieved shoulder flange that are of correct size and length. Proper mandrels will
reduce the possibility of breakage.
c) Do not "jam" a cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make
an excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and
susceptibility to twisting or snagging of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of
kickback or wheel breakage.
d) Do not position your hand in line with and behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel,
at the point of operation, is moving away from your hand, the possible kickback may
propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
e) When wheel is pinched, snagged or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch
off the power tool and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a
complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while the
wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective
action to eliminate the cause of wheel pinching or snagging.
f) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed
and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power
tool is restarted in the workpiece.
g) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel pinching
and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports
must be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the
workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
h) Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut" into existing walls or other blind
areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects
that can cause kickback.
