tools that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
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 per-
sonal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unex-
pected 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 connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of dust collec-
tion can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from fre-
quent use of tools allow you to be-
come 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 applica-
tion. 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 re-
paired.
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 dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired be-
fore 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 sur-
faces 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.
Bench grinder safety warnings
• Do not use a damaged accessory. Be-
fore each use inspect the accessory
such as abrasive wheels for chips and
cracks. 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 accessory wil nor-
mally break during this test time.
• The rated speed of the accessory
must be at least equal to the maximum
speed marked on the power tool. Ac-
cessories running faster than their rated
speed can break and fly apart.
• Never grind on the sides of a grinding
wheel. Grinding on the side can cause
the wheel to break and fly apart.
