General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference!
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (cord-
ed) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite ac-
cidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools cre-
ate sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk
of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water enter-
ing a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suit-
able for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.

Special Safety Instructions

Collective Safety Warnings for Grinding,
Sanding, Wire Brushing and Abrasive Cutting-
Off Operations:
a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander, wire
brush and cut-off tool. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illus-
trations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure
to follow all the instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
b) This power tool is not suitable for polishing work. Operations for
which the power tool was not designed may create a hazard and
cause personal injury.
c) Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and rec-
ommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory
can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
d) The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the max-
imum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster
than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
e) The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be
within the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized ac-
cessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
f) The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any other ac-
cessory must properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Accessories
with arbour holes that do not match the mounting hard-ware of the
power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause
loss of control.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-posi-
tion before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, pick-
ing up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on
the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
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 personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) 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.
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 danger-
ous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery
pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, chang-
ing 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 al-
low 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 mov-
ing parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may af-
fect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained 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 condi-
tions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for op-
erations different from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
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.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the
accessories such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, back-
ing pads for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brushes 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 the applica-
tion, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropri-
ate, wear a dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and a workshop
apron capable of stop-ping small abrasive or workpiece frag-
ments. The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris
generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be
capable of filtering 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.
)
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
shock the operator.
k) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control
of the power tool, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or
arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
