SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using any equipment, certain safety precautions must be taken to avoid injury and/or damage. Please read this manual carefully before using the tool. Keep this operator’s manual for future reference. In case this tool is borrowed, transferred or moved, make sure that the instruction manual remains with it. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage or accidents caused by failure to comply with these safety instructions.

CAUTION: Read all safety regulations and instructions. Not following all safety precautions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

The term “power tool” used in this manual refers to power tools powered by electricity (with a power cord) and battery-powered power tools (without a power cord).

Workplace safety

a) Keep your workplace clean and well lit. Untidy or poorly lit workplaces can result in accidents.
b) Do not use the power tool in an environment where there is a risk of explosion and where there are flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools produce sparks that could ignite dust or vapours.
c) Do not allow bystanders, children or animals into your work area. If there is a distraction, you may lose control of the appliance.

Electrical safety

a) The plug from the power tool must be plugged into a properly grounded installed outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Never use adaptor plugs with grounded power tools. Unaltered plugs and correct sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces like refrigerators, pipes and radiators when using electric powered tools. This will reduce the likelihood of shock.
c) Do not expose electric power tools to rain or wet conditions. Wet tools increase the likelihood of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Damaged or entangled cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
e) Keep power cords away from heat, water, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. They can damage the insulation and cause a shock.
f) If you are working outdoors with an electric tool, only use extension cables which are designed and marked specifically for this purpose.
g) If operation of the electric tool in a damp environment can not be avoided, use an earth-leakage circuit breaker (ELCB) to reduce the risk of an electric shock.

Personal safety

a) Be alert, watch your movements and use a power tool with care. Do not use the tool if you are tired or under the influence of medication, alcohol or other substances. A moment of negligence when using the power tool can result in serious injury.
b) The use of personal protective equipment (such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmet or earplugs depending on the type and use of the power tool) reduces the risk of injury. Always wear safety goggles.
c) Make sure the tool cannot start accidentally. Make sure that the electric tool is switched off before you connect it to the power supply and/or insert the battery, or when picking it up or carrying it. Plugging the appliance in when it is switched on, or moving the power tool with your finger on the power switch, may accidentally start the tool and lead to accidents.
d) Remove keys and wrenches before switching on the electric tool. A tool or key coming into contact with rotating parts of the tool can result in damage or 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) Wear suitable work clothes. Keep hair, clothes and gloves away from moving parts. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can get caught in moving parts.
g) If vacuum and drainage devices can be fitted on the tool, make sure that they are correctly connected and used. The use of a dust extraction system can reduce dust-related hazards.

Power tool safety

a) Do not overstrain the tool. Use the right tool for each task. You will be able to work better and more safely within the specified performance parameters.
b) Do not use a power tool with a defective power switch. A power tool that cannot be switched on or off is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Unplug the tool and/or remove the battery before making any adjustments to the tool, switching attachments or putting the tool down or in storage. This safety measure prevents the power tool from starting up unintentionally.
d) Keep the electric tool out of the reach of children and untrained users. Only people who have read and understand completely all safety instructions can use the power tool. Power tools can be dangerous if used by inexperienced users.
e) Clean your power tool carefully. Check that the moving parts work properly and do not jam and that there are no parts broken or damaged to such an extent that the operation of the power tool is affected. Contact an authorised service centre for any repairs needed before using the tool. Poorly maintained power tools can cause serious damage or harm.
f) Keep any cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tools, accessories, attachments, etc. in accordance with these instructions. Take into account the conditions of your workplace and the task at hand. Using power tools for any purpose other than that for which they are intended can lead to dangerous situations.

Service

Have your power tool repaired only by trained personnel using only authentic spare parts. This will ensure that your power tool is always safe to use.

a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder or cut-off tool. 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.
b) This power tool cannot be used for polishing or as a sander. If the power tool is used for work for which it is not designed, danger and damage and/or injury may occur.
c) Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because an accessory can be attached to your power tool, that does not assure safe operation.
d) The rated speed of an 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.
e) The outer diameter and thickness of your component must be within the specified dimensions of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be properly guarded or controlled.
f) The arbor size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any other accessory must properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Accessories with arbor holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
g) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on each application, use a face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. When needed, wear a dust mask, hearing protection, gloves and a workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive fragments. Your safety goggles must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating any dust generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
h) Keep bystanders at a safe distance from the work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Flying shrapnel or debris from the workpiece can cause injury beyond your immediate work area.
i) Hold the power tool only by the insulated handles when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may come in contact eith hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock the operator.
j) Position the cord clear of any spinning accessories. 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.
k) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab any surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
I) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the rotating accessory can become caught in your clothing, pulling the accessory against your body.
m) 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.
n) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
o) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electric shock.

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 kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of 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.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use the additional handle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback reaction during start-up. The operator can control kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. The accessory may recoil on your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where the power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in the direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges, etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control over the power tool.

Additional safety instructions

a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the specific guard designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not designed for cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
b) The guard 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 guard helps to protect operator from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
c) Disc must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of the cut-off disc. Abrasive cut-off disc are intended for peripheral grinding; side forces applied to these discs may cause them to shatter.
d) Always use undamaged disc flanges that are of correct size and shape for your selected disc. Proper disc flanges support the disc thus reducing the possibility of disc breakage. Flanges for cut-off disc may be different from grinding disc flanges.
e) Do not use worn down discs from larger power tools. Discs intended for larger power tools are not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
f) Do not “jam” the cut-off disc or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the disc increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the disc in the cut and the possibility of kickback or disc breakage.
g) Do not position your body in line with and behind the rotating disc. When the disc, at the point of operation, is moving away from your body, the possible kickback may propel the spinning disc and the power tool directly at you.
h) When the disc becomes blocked or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the power tool in place until the disc comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off disc from the cut while the disc is in motion, otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of disc jamming.
i) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the disc reach full speed and carefully reenter the cut. The disc may get jammed or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
j) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of disc 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.
k) Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding disc may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
