6. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Additional power tool safety warnings
@
Warning!
Grinding, Sanding, Wire Brushing, Polishing or
Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:
u This power tool is intended to function as a grinder
sander
safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, re and/or serious injury
u Operations for which the power tool was not designed
may create a hazard and cause personal injury
u Do not use accessories which are not specically
designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer
Just because the accessory can be attached to your
power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
u The rated speed of the accessory must be at least
equal to the maximum speed marked on the power
tool.
can break and y apart.
u 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.
u Threaded mounting of accessories must match the
grinder spindle thread.
For accessories mounted by anges, the arbour hole
of the accessory must t the
locating diameter of the ange. 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.
u Do not use a damaged accessory
inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for
chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or
excess wear
power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for
damage or install an undamaged accessory
inspecting and installing an accessory and run the
power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this
test time.
u 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 ying
debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or
respirator must be capable of ltering particles generated
by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
u 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 y away and cause injury
beyond immediate area of operation.
u 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 shock the
operator
u Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the
work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
u 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
u 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.
u Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your
side.
snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body
u 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.
u Do not operate the power tool near ammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
u Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
Note: The above warning does not apply for power tools
specically designed for use with a liquid system.
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory
Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating
accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to
be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory's rotation
at the point of the binding.
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
the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump
toward or away from the operator
the wheel's movement at the point of pinching.
Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below
u Maintain a rm grip on the power tool and position
your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback
forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for
maximum control over kickback or torque reaction
during start-up. The operator can control torque
reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are
taken.
u Never place your hand near the rotating accessory
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
u Do not position your body in the area where power
tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel
the tool in direction opposite to the wheel's movement at
the point of snagging.
u Use special care when working corners, sharp edges
etc. A
Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to
snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or
kickback.
u Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or
toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback
and loss of control.
Safety warnings specic for grinding and abrasive
cutting-off operations
u Use only wheel types that are recommended for your
power tool and the specic guard designed for the
selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not
designed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
u The grinding surface of centre depressed wheels
must be mounted below the plane
of the guard lip.
projects through the plane of the guard lip cannot be
adequately protected.
u The guard must be securely attached to the power
tool and positioned for maximum safety
amount of wheel is exposed towards the operatorThe
guard helps to protect the operator from broken wheel
fragments, accidental contact with wheel and sparks that
could ignite clothing.
u Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with the side
of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for
peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels
may cause them to shatter
u Always use undamaged wheel anges that are of
correct size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper
wheel anges support the wheel thus reducing the
possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels
may be different from grinding wheel anges.
u Do not use worn down wheels from larger power
tools. Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable
for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
Additional safety warnings specic for abrasive
cutting-off operations
u Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth
of cut. Over stressing the wheel increases the loading
and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the
cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
u Do not position your body in line with and behind the
rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation,
is moving away from your body
propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at
you.
u When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for
any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the
power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a
complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off
wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion
otherwise kickback may occur Investigate and take
corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
u Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece.
Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter
the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the
power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
u Support panels or any oversized workpiece to
minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback.
Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight.
Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the
line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both
sides of the wheel.
u Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut" into
existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding
wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or
objects that can cause kickback.
