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 main-
tained.
General safety instructions
1) This power tool is intended to function as a 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.
2) Operations such as grinding, 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.
3) 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.
4) 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.
5) 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.
6) Threaded mounting of accessories must match the grinder spindle thread. For accessories mounted by flanges, the arbour hole of the accessory must fit the
locating diameter of the flange. 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.
7) 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.
8) 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.
9) 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.
10) 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.
11) 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.
12) 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.
13) 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.
14) 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.
15) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
16) 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 attaching a rotating wheel, a bearing pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or hanging causes rapid stalling
of the rotating accessory which in turn forced the tool Power out of control in the opposite direction of rotation of the accessory to the point of seizing.
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 jumps or expulsion of the grinding wheel. The wheel can jump towards the operator or by moving away, as the direction of movement of
the grinding wheel at the point of pinch. Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions. Kickback is the result of misuse of the tool and / or procedures
or conditions incorrect operation and can be avoided by taking proper precautions specified below.
1) Maintain firmly the power tool and position your body and arm for you allow to resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, where applicable, for
maximum control of kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The operator can control the reaction torques or forces rebound, if precautions are taken.
2) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. The accessory can perform a bounce on your hand.
3) Do not place you in the area where power tool will move if kickback. The rebound pushes the tool in the opposite direction to movement of the wheel in
point hooking.
4) Take special care when working corners, sharp edges etc.
Avoid twists and snaps of the accessory. Corners, edges or sharp twists tend to hang the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
Additional safety instructions for sanding operations
Set specific security guard for sanding
a) Do not use sandpaper too oversized for sanding discs. Follow manufacturers' recommendations when selecting sanding paper. More abrasive paper extend-
ing beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause a crash, tearing of the disc or kickback.
