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.
Surface Grinding Shroud Safety Rules
• The shroud must be securely attached to the power tool
and positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount
of wheel is exposed towards the operator. The shroud is
designed to collect dust and help protect the operator from
accidental contact with the wheel.
• 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.
• Only use dry diamond surface cup wheels with this
surface grinding shroud. The surface grinding shroud is
not intended to be used with standard grinding, cut‑off, cup
wheels or wire brushes.
• 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.
• 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 electrical shock.
• Always use side handle. Tighten the handle securely. The
side handle should always be used to maintain control of the
tool at all times.
• Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use
inspect the accessory such as diamond wheel for chips and
cracks, backing pad for cracks and tear or excess wear. 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.
• When starting the tool with a new or replacement
wheel, hold the tool in a well protected area and let it run
for one minute. If the wheel has an undetected crack or flaw, it
should burst in less than one minute. Never start the tool with a
person in line with the wheel. This includes the operator.

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
• Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using
water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
• DO NOT use wire brushes with this surface grinding shroud.
• DO NOT use abrasive wheels.
• DO NOT grind or cut metal with a diamond cup wheel.
Fragments could loosen and fly apart.
• ALWAYS use with a dust collector.
Additional Specific Safety Instructions for All Surface
Grinding Shrouds
WARNING: When not in use, place grinder on a stable
surface where it will not move inadvertantly, roll or cause a
tripping or falling hazard. Serious personal injury may result.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust
mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED
SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• lead from lead‑based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically‑treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap
and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay
on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
