•
Do not use damaged, frayed or deteriorated air hoses and fittings.
•
Do not lubricate tools with flammable or volatile liquids such as kerosene, diesel or jet fuel.
•
Do not remove any labels. Replace any damaged label.
•
Do not use the tool if the trigger does not turn the tool on or off.
•
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.
•
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.
•
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
•
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.
•
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.
DIE GRINDER WARNING
Do not use accessories with a rated speed that is less than the grinder's spindle speed.
•
Wire or grinding wheels with a diameter greater than 2 inches (50mm) should not be used with this unguarded grinder,
•
unless for internal work that offers protection.
Do not use small cones, plugs or threaded hole pot balls unless the work offers protection and size of accessory does
•
not exceed 2 inches (50mm) in diameter by 5 inches (125mm) long.
Do not use any Type 1 wheel that have a diameter greater than 2 inches (50mm) or are thicker than 1/2 inch (13mm) or
•
that operate at a speed greater than 1800 Surface Feet per Minute (9 Surface Meters per Second).
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.
Use accessories that have a shank size which matches the collet size.
•
Accessories that extend excessively from the collet affect the speed rating of that accessory and can be dangerous,
•
make sure shank is inserted the full depth of the collet gripping jaws. Overhang should not exceed the inserted depth
of the shank.
Do not use router bits, cut-off wheels, saws or any other accessories not designed for use on a die grinder.
•
Inspect collet, threads and nut for damage and wear before inserting accessory, ensure thread-on collets are securely
•
seated.
•
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.
•
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.
•
Position the air hose clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the air hose may be cut or snagged and your hand or
arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
•
Do not use Type 11 (flaring cup) wheels on this tool. Using inappropriate accessories can result in injury.
•
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.
•
After securing accessory to die grinder, test by running at gradually increasing speeds in a protected enclosure, test for 60
seconds to ensure safety.
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.
•
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.
•
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.
•
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.
