SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should also be avoided.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment . Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

TOOL USE AND CARE

• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, break-age of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using.Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitablefor one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ANGLE GRINDER

• Always use proper guard with grinding wheel. A guard protects operator from broken wheel fragments and wheel contact.
• Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recom-mended on the tool warning label. Wheels and other acces-sories running over rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.Accessory ratings must be above listed minimum wheel speed as shown on tool nameplate.
• ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN USING THIS TOOL.
• Use of accessories not specified in this manual is not recommended and may be hazardous.Use of power boosters that would cause the tool to be driven at speeds greater than its rated speed constitutes mis use.
• Do not use circular saw blades or any other toothed blades with this tool. Serious injury may result.
• 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. If the wire brush has loose wires, they will be detected. Never start the tool with a person in line with the wheel. This includes the operator.
• Avoid bouncing the wheel or giving it rough treatment. If this occurs, stop the tool and inspect the wheel for cracks or flaws.
• Direct sparks away from operator, bystanders or flammable materials. Sparks may be produced while cutting and/or grinding. Sparks may cause burns or start fires.
• Always use side handle. Tighten the handle securely. The side handle should always be used to maintain control of the tool at all times.
• Never cut into area that may contain electrical wiring or piping. Serious injury may result.
• Clean out your tool often, especially after heavy use. Dust and grit containing metal particles often accumulate on interior surfaces and could create an electric shock hazard.Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration caused by the operating action of this tool may cause permanent injury to fingers, hands, and arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion, take frequent rest periods, and limit daily time of use.
